Maria Dolores Valdes Pena, Juan Jose Rodriguez-Andina, Milos Manic · IEEE Industrial Electronics Magazine · 2017
The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm has quickly gone past various technological domains to become part of everyday life across the globe. Ubiquitous devices (things) with a certain amount of intelligence, capable of connecting to the Internet and sharing information collaboratively are now a widespread reality [1]-[3]. The general perception today indicates that the IoT may become a technological milestone, with an impact similar to that caused by the advent of the Internet itself. It will transform the Internet from a humancentric platform, where most applications are focused on humanto-human interaction and where most of the data are provided by humans, to a machine-intensive platform.
