A Survey of IoT Based Smart Cities

Abstract

IoT (Internet of Things) is the network of physical objects-devices, vehicles, buildings and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity-that enables these objects to collect and exchange data. (IoT) is becoming an increasingly growing topic of conversation both in the workplace and outside of it.  Smart Cities are considered recently as a capable solution for providing efficient services to citizens with the use of Information and Communication Technologies. With the most modern advances on the Internet of Things, a new epoch has emerged in the Smart City domain, opening new opportunities for the development of efficient and low-cost applications that aim to improve the Quality of Life in cities. Although there is much research in this area, which has resulted in the development of many commercial products, significant parameters like consistency, protection and isolation have not been considered as very important up until now.
