IoT Architectures: A Brief Survey on Layers’ Services

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) present an expanding field in the world of computing which serve to improve the quality of life, while offering advanced services based on existing or evolving technologies such as Cloud Computing and Artificial Intelligence. One of the major issues of is to define a uniform IoT architecture for the integrated components. An IoT architecture provide a description of how IoT infrastructure components interact with each other and represent the most important element for the success of IoT applications development. Various architectures have proposed until now that are divers in terms of services offered by each layer. This diversity of services force companies and developers of IoT solutions to understand carefully the technologies used by IoT and the different existing architectures in order to choose the most appropriate technologies and architecture to realize an IoT project. For this, we present in this work an overview on different IoT architectures especially their layers services in the aim to provide a guideline to researchers interested in this issue.
