ABSTRACT
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is emerging technology
based on Ubiquitous sensing. Soon it will be implemented in
day to day life. Environmental indicators are measured and
understood from natural ecologies like Jungles to dense
urban environments. Sensors and actuators seamlessly
interact with ecological elements and the resultant
communication network creates the Internet of Things (IoT).
Common operating picture (COP) is developed by shared
information across the platforms). Embedded sensors, RFID
tags and actuator nodes enabled IoT to step from basic to
advanced revolutionary technology and thus transform
Internet into Future Internet which is autonomous sensor
integrated Internet. The need for data-on-demand is
increasing significantly as we are moving from www (static
pages web) to web2 (social networking web) to web3
(ubiquitous computing web). The focus will be study Cloud
centric vision for worldwide implementation of Internet of
Things.
INTRODUCTION

 In the Internet of Things (IoT) era, many of the

objects in our surrounding will be on the network.
 Need of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and
sensor network technologies will rise.
 Information and communication systems will be
invisibly embedded in environment around us.
 With growing Internet access due to 3G and 4G, it
will play vital role in development of ubiquitous
information and communication system.
 The term Internet of Things was first coined by Kevin
Ashton in 1999 in the context of supply chain
management [1]. However, in the past decade, the
definition has been more inclusive covering wide
range of applications like healthcare, utilities,
transport, etc [2]
 ‘Things‘ are active participants in business,
information and social processes where they are
enabled to interact and communicate among
themselves and with the environment by exchanging
data and information sensed about the environment,
while reacting autonomously to the real/physical
world events and influencing it by running processes
that trigger actions and create services with or
without direct human intervention. [2]
 Internet of Things can be realized in three paradigms
– internet-oriented (middleware), things oriented
(sensors) and semantic-oriented (knowledge) [3]
 A smart environment uses information and
communications technologies to make the critical
infrastructure components and services of a city
administration, education, healthcare, public safety,
real estate, transportation and utilities more aware,
interactive and efficient. [4]
