Abstract: Abstract Rather than network of people, the Internet of Things (IoT) is network that connects things. It is an interconnection of uniquely identifiable embedded computing devices. It enables things to access data and communicate with one another. Humans will continue to use the Internet, but the future Internet will also be a pipeline for nonhuman devices – machine to machine (M2M) communication. When one connects any type of devices, tons of data will be generated. The promise of IoT is that more automatic and more intelligent services provided by interconnected smart devices will be prevalent with minimal amount of human interaction. Most of the things connected to IoT are actually simple devices that are referred to as smart devices. The devices become smart when joined together with other devices. The whole is greater than the sum of its parts, because everything is communicating with everything else in an intelligent and automated fashion. Any given device connects to other surrounding and relevant devices to share collected data. This creates what experts call ambient intelligence, which results when multiple devices act in unison to carry out everyday activities and tasks using the information and intelligence embedded into the network.
