According to Satyam and Calzada, the internet of things (IoT) is at the foundation of the Smart concept. Sensors create data elements. Data generated by these sensors are converted to a suitable digital format that can be sent away to another system for processing and analyzing. IoT is a recent paradigm that envisions a near future, in which objects of everyday life will be equipped with microcontrollers, transceivers for digital communication and suitable protocol stacks that will make them able to communicate with one another and with the user, becoming an integral part of the internet.
