Survey of loT platforms supporting artificial intelligence

Abstract

IoT(Internet of Things) has become one of the most emerging and powerful technology to improve our quality of life by connecting physical objects of real-world together. With the scalability and interoperability of the IoT platforms, developers can more easily develop IoT programs and handle big data in the heterogeneous IoT. Most IoT platforms provide core functionalities such as device management, data processing, communication, sensor data analytics, visualization, provision of smart solutions. Recently, there is an increasing demand for autonomous AI (Artificial Intelligence) IoT applications that support machine learning, deep learning, and neuromorphic hardware beyond simple intelligent IoT applications. In this paper, we survey the emerging technologies in existing IoT platforms with a focus on AI support. Our survey can be used to better understand and utilize the AI technologies in the IoT platforms.
