Internet of Things and Smart Cities: Challenges and Issues

Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) is currently on the top of the hype cycle with investments from governments, corporations, and venture capital firms. Smart Cities enhance the quality of life of its citizen by building an eco-system for health, environment, and business. Both IoT and Smart Cities share similar issues and challenges and benefit from recent advances in sensors, networking, and big data analytics techniques. The key areas of research in IoT will be explained with security being the prime inhibitor to IoT adoption. Several challenges in securing IoT will be presented. IoT has led to increased use of cloud computing and will soon lead to multi-cloud computing. We finish with brief discussion of our OpenADN project for managing such globally distributed multi-cloud applications.
