Read this article on privacy, security, and ethical concerns with integrating IoT in the business intelligence cycle. As the section overview states, IoT is a collection of different technologies working together. Still, it is also an amalgamation. This article will help you understand in a detailed discussion how IoT fits into everyday life and its potential from both the technological and sociological perspectives. How can the connected devices you own be utilized with others?
Major key issues and challenges of IoT
Interoperability/standard issues
Interoperability is the feasibility to exchange the information among different IoT devices and systems. This exchange of information does not rely on the deployed software and hardware. The interoperability issue arises due to the heterogeneous nature of different technology and solutions used for IoT development. The four interoperability levels are technical, semantic, syntactic, and organizational. Various functionalities are being provided by IoT systems to improve the interoperability that ensures communication between different objects in a heterogeneous environment. Additionally, it is possible to merge different IoT platforms based on their functionalities to provide various solutions for IoT users. Considering interoperability an important issue, researchers approved several solutions that are also know as interoperability handling approaches. These solutions could be adapaters/gateways based, virtual networks/overlay based, service oriented architecture based etc. Although interoperability handling approaches ease some pressure on IoT systems but there are still certain challenges remain with interoperability that could be a scope for future studies.
