In the last few decades, and due to emergence of internet appliance, there is a strategical increase in the usage of data which had a high impact on the storage and mining technologies. It is also observed that the scientific/research field produces the zig-zag structure of data, viz., structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data. Comparably, processing of such data is relatively increased due to rugged requirements. There are sustainable technologies to address the challenges and to expedite scalable services via effective physical infrastructure (in terms of mining), smart networking solutions, and useful software approaches. Indeed, the cloud computing aims at data-intensive computing, by facilitating scalable processing of huge data. But still, the problem remains unaddressed with reference to huge data, and conversely, the data is growing exponentially faster. At this juncture, the recommendable algorithm is a well-known model, that is, MapReduce, to compress the huge and voluminous data. Conceptualization of any problem with the current model is less fault-tolerant and reliable, which may be surmounted by Hadoop architecture. On the contrary case, Hadoop is fault-tolerant and has the high throughput which is recommendable for applications having huge volume of data sets, thus file system requiring the streaming access. The paper examines and unravels what efficient architectural/design changes are necessary to bring the benefits of the Everest model, HBase algorithm, and the existing MR algorithms.

Massive diffusion of constrained devices communicating through low-power wireless technologies in the future Internet of Things (IoT) will require in many scenarios the deployment of IoT gateways to allow applications to discover and access IoT resources. In this context, Fog/Edge computing will represent an opportunity to deploy IoT gateways in proximity of IoT domains, meeting the requirements of applications needing low-latency interactions with devices. In this paper, we present an edge-centric distributed architecture to provide resource discovery and access services to IoT applications. The proposed approach leverages the CoRE Resource Directory interface and the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) to expose a standard interface for global discovery and access. Multiple IoT gateways are federated through a peer-to-peer overlay implemented by a distributed hash table, which is exploited to share the information on IoT resources available across multiple domains. The proposed solution is validated by means of a small-scale prototype, and extensively evaluated through emulation in large scale deployment in comparison to a centralized Cloud-based approach. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed approach guarantees lower latencies than a centralized solution and can ensure scalability for small to medium sized deployments.

Essence can keep software development for the IoT from becoming unwieldy.

With the continuous growth of both fixed and mobile Internet usage, measuring the Internet QoS (quality of service) becomes of vital interest for all involved Internet stakeholders, mainly consumers, operators, and regulators. In this paper, we describe in detail, Comiqual (collaborative measurement of Internet quality), a crowd-sourced large-scale Internet measurement platform that coordinates and collects measurements from measurement agents (MAs) installed on fixed and mobile end user devices. Although the initial and main target of Comiqual is Lebanon, the platform is generically designed to measure the Internet access quality from the user’s perspective anywhere on the globe. The MAs that execute mainly active measurements are jointly controlled by users and by a measurement center (MC); the latter sends measurement instructions to MAs and collects the measurement results. The communication protocol between MC and MAs uses JSON messages that are exchanged via HTTP through REST calls and secured by HTTPS. Measurement results could be openly accessed in a raw format or viewed as an aggregation via a Google map. Moreover, an online statistical tool allows user-defined statistics computation and visualization. All these features combined with the flexibility of the platform management are the main drivers that will allow Comiqual to reach its ultimate goal, which is to create a collaborative, neutral, and transparent observatory of the Internet.

We live in the age of After Google (AG), where information is just one click away and talking just one touch away. The near future of the AG age is the Internet of Things (IoT), where physical things connected over a network will take part in Internet activities to exchange information about themselves and their surroundings. In other words, the IoT is nothing but a computing concept in which everyday objects with embedded hardware/devices are connected to a network or are simply online.

In recent decades, Internet of Things (IOT) has been widely used in the communication of equipment and resources. An important and appropriate application of this technology includes medical devices and resources. With the aid of this technology, the services provided for the end user for example, the patients admitted to the hospital will have greater speed and accuracy. Further, in the necessary care of chronic diseases or extensive applications like services for the elderly or applications requiring momentary knowledge on a large scale and in the online form, using this technology is undoubtedly a great help to better do the job. In this paper, attempts have been made to investigate the Internet of Things in the field of medicine with a service-oriented and security approach and make different comparisons concerning the works conducted, researchers, success, development of Internet of Things in health care systems in terms of empowering the technologies and various applications of Internet of Things in the medical industry and report the results. Ultimately, the opportunities and challenges ahead in the use of Internet of Things in medical applications and health field have been stated.

Internet of Vehicles (IoV) has gained considerable attention from industry and academia due to the development of communication technology and smart city. However, a proprietary and closed way of operating hardware in network equipment slows down the progress of new service deployment and extension in IoV. Moreover, the tightly coupled control and data planes in traditional networks significantly increase the complexity and cost of network management. By proposing a novel architecture, i.e., software-defined IoV (SDIV), we adopt a software-defined network (SDN) architecture to address these problems by leveraging its separation of the control plane from the data one and a uniform way to configure heterogeneous switches. However, IoV characteristics introduce some great challenges in rule installation due to the limited size of flow tables at OpenFlow-enabled switches that are the main SDN component. It is necessary to build compact flow tables for IoV scalability. Accordingly, we develop a novel rule installation mechanism to reduce the number of rules for real-time query services in SDIV. We separate the wired data plane from the wireless one and use multicast addresses in the latter. We introduce a destination-driven model in the wired data plane to reduce the number of rules at switches. Experiments with a real data trace show that the developed approach significantly reduces the number of rules without degrading the performance of data transmissions for real-time query services in IoV.

Scholars have warned that because mobile Internet access offers lower levels of functionality and content availability, operates on less open and flexible platforms and contributes to diminished levels of user engagement, content creation and information seeking compared with traditional fixed solutions, mobile Internet has created a mobile Internet ‘underclass’. As a growing proportion of the online population is now ‘mobile only’, it is imperative to understand the extent to which mobile Internet may represent a meaningful substitute for traditional PC-based Internet access. Based on operational data from a major Chinese telecommunications carrier, this study provides a comparative analysis of the mobile Internet usage patterns associated with different access channels. Our results show that, in terms of mobile Internet usage, there is not enough evidence to support the ‘mobile underclass’ argument. However, our analysis reveals that the primary concern about the mobile ‘underclass’ remains as the first-order digital divide ‘access’ issue.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a quite new concept covering on digital systems being correlated with each other. The first role of the Internet was to connect people, while this new paradigm serves in terms of connecting devices. Those solutions could get connected to each other using a standard web signal or applying another sort of communication channels. It's estimated that the IoT has included around 4.9 billion devices by the end of 2015, while it's expected that there would be 25 billion IoT devices in 2020. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive overview about how this concept works and try to deal with some of a security's aspect of this useful paradigm.

This paper refers to the paradigm of the “Internet of Things” (IoT) applied for various purposes in the healthcare domain. The functioning of this concept has enabled the collection of a number of technologies in the field of telecommunications, information technology, electronics and social sciences. MHealth as a part of eHealth could be defined as synergistic solution of mobile computing, medical sensor, and communications technologies for health-care, whose common goal is wirelessly monitoring the psycho-physical state of health or remote patient monitoring. This concept represents the evolution of e-health systems to wireless and mobile configurations. This paper aims to provide comprehensive review of recent solutions as well as possible future implementations from the m-Health perspective. Further developments in wireless communications and configurations will have a huge impact on future health-care delivery systems.

There is an ongoing enormous expansion of Internet of Things devices andservices in everyday life, notably in novel large scale urban environments called Smart Cities. There, availability and uses of Internet of Things by end users and businesses is mainly palpable subject to prior knowledge of the relevant providers and use of dedicated applications that are associated with them. This current reality can be largely ascribed to the property of ‘‘verticality’’ of autonomous Internet of Things eco-systems in Smart Cities, where Internet of Things devices (e.g. sensor nodes) are connected over a communicationinfrastructure to service-cloud platforms that deliver and process data that isthen presented at the applications level. This paper explains possibilities for revolutionary changes needed towards liberalising deployment and visibility of IoT services and data associated with them. It advocates a conceptual approach termed ‘‘horizontal networking for Internet of Things’’ facilitating a more open and generic presence of Internet of Things through the proposed Internet of Things identification meta-data. The vision is built on needed novel practical features in the current communication setups. The features comprise combinations of the opportunistic and near-match search and discovery model, Internet of Things identification meta-data also reflecting the physical and network-based dimensions of devices’ locations, novel routing and data flow models emerging via Information-Centric Networking and changes required in the elements of the current telecommunicationinfrastructure and the Internet.

For millions of people around the globe, the Internet is a simple fact of life. We take for granted the invisible network that enables us to communicate, navigate, investigate, flirt, shop, and play. Early on, this network-of-networks connected only select companies and university campuses. Nowadays, it follows almost all of us into the most intimate areas of our lives. And yet, very few people know how the Internet became social.

In this article the results of the research, devoted to the status of the language of the Internet, conducted by the author are described. Nowadays there are two leading points of view on the problem of the article. Some linguists look upon this linguistic phenomenon as an independent language, which is used in on-line communication. Other linguists treat the language of the Internet as a type of slang or jargon used by a limited group of professionals. We consider the language of the Internet as a language for specific purposes (LSP) along side with the language of geometry and medicine. But for the first time in the history of linguistics an LSP influences the standard language so much. The research done proves it.

In attempting to define the Internet of Things, we should keep in mind that it's fundamentally about communication, computation, sensing, and actuation.

Internet has been used by the unique space that users share various informations. Due to the development of Information communication technology(ICT), many devices were introduced. These devices are connected by Internet each other. The Internet of Things(IoT) use the Internet for the interconnection of the things. Studies for 'Internet of Things' progress extensively on today. Therefore, we studied the smart industries domain related with Internet of things. In this paper, three domains among the smart industries were described. These three domains such as smart city, smart home and smart health are related with our life. Therefore, we described many actual cases in three domains based on Internet of Things.

technologies. The Internet of Things incorporates transparently and impeccably large number of assorted end systems, providing open access to selected data for digital services. Internet of things is a promising research in commerce, industry, and education applications. The abundance of sensors and actuators motivates sensing and actuate devices in communication scenarios thus enabling sharing of information in Internet of Things. Advances in sensor data collection technology and Radio Frequency Identification technology has led large number of smart devices connected to the Internet, continuously transmitting data over time.In the context of security, due to different communication overloads and standards conventional security services are not applicable on Internet of Things as a result of which the technological loopholes leads to the generation of malicious data, devices are compromised and so on. Hence a flexible mechanism can deal with the security threats in the dynamic environment of Internet of Things and continuous researches and new ideas needs to be regulated periodically for various upcoming challenges. This paper basically tries to cover up the security issues and challenges of Internet of Things along with a brief introduction on Internet of Things, its elements and components such as Radio Frequency Identification, Wireless Sensor Network and Near Field Communication.

This paper presents the development of a firmware for a Smart Switch, which can control the on-off of any electrical device at home by using internet. The Smart Switch is connected to internet via Wi-FiTM, through a computer, smartphone, tablet or any device with internet access. In order to perform this connection it is necessary to write the IP pre-programmed into the Smart Switch in a web browser (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, etc.) with the purpose to load the Smart Switch server, which will open a configuration page to write the data of the user's network. Then, the user will select in automatic mode the network, the security type, and the user must have written a passphrase. Once these information is uploaded and saved, it is necessary to restart the Smart Switch in order to get access to internet, from which the user can control the Smart Switch simply sending a number one or a number zero to switch the electrical device, this process is done in principle via the internet, but it can be done without the use of internet, i.e. by using a local network

The Internet of Things (IoT) is about innovative functionality and better productivity by seamlessly connecting devices. But a major threat is the lack of architecture standards for the industrial Internet and connectivity in the IoT. This article reviews recent IoT architecture evolution and what it means for industry projects.
