Next Generation Networks

Growing numbers of systems such as vehicles, environment monitoring sensors, wearable health monitoring devices, augmented reality using devices as well as computers and smartphones are being connected to the Internet at rapid rate realizing the idea of the Internet of Things (IoT). Parallel to this, cloud computing arises as a new paradigm that aims to provide computing environments which are flexible, reliable, and with good quality of service (QoS). Its ability of transforming the way information is going to be processed, exchanged, stored, and at the same time the highly available and inexpensive computing power it offers, makes the cloud interesting for researchers, engineers, service providers, developers, and users. The ability of cloud computing to take on and interpret vast amounts of data is one of the catalysts that have facilitated the rapid expansion of IoT. Therefore cloud computing and IoT have become two very closely affiliated future internet technologies.

The investment through the use of IoT for various business areas has also been quite impressive. Companies are interested to employ IoT for increasing customer satisfaction, improving the overall quality and of course to reduce the costs involved. When the most valuable cases to involve IoT solutions are investigated, the analysis shows that the systems with ability to use sensors for the prediction of reliability-related features of machinery, self-optimizing production, automated inventory and supply chain management, remote health monitoring, smart grids and meters, track and trace, connected cards, distributed generation and storage, fleet management and demand response are the most popular ones.
