1INTERNET OF THINGS
Introduction:
The Internet of Things refers the set of hardware and software components and their
effective integration that allow the user to have a dynamic networking experience. Internet of
things is the most advanced technological intervention in this era. It has been claimed by
many critics, that IoT is going to be the next biggest revolution of modernised technology.
Therefore, analysing the opportunities, existing utilisations and limitation of Internet of
Things is essential. 12 articles will be chosen on this topic to develop a annotated
bibliography in the following section of this paper.
Article 1:
Wortmann, F., & Flüchter, K. (2015). Internet of things. Business & Information
Systems Engineering, 57(3), 221-224.
In this article Wortmann & Flüchter (2015), has describes how the Internet of Things
has added value in this era of advance technology. It has been found that currently Internet of
Things does not fall under any specific definition due to its divertive use. The authors also
added that IoT has already improved the IT based digital services in many ways. IoT is
described as a collection of interconnected hardware and software components in very precise
way. The IoT cloud, connectivity devices are expressed as the major part of IoT.
The above article followed secondary data collection method to execute a thematic
analysis on Internet of Things. The target audience of this article is the scholars and
researchers of electronics and communication. Several articles, journals on emerging
technologies have been chosen to evaluate this context. This paper is very valuable for
understanding of overall concept of IoT and its value in modern era. The paper examined
various utilisations of IoT while considering the limitation. However, the major limitation of

this article is it collected data only from secondary sources that caused a deficiency of more
practical and primary data analysis.
Article 2:
Zanella, A., Bui, N., Castellani, A., Vangelista, L., & Zorzi, M. (2014). Internet of things
for smart cities. IEEE Internet of Things journal, 1(1), 22-32.
In this article Zanella et al. (2015), has describes how the Internet of Things can be
incorporated in a smart city and how it could be beneficial for all aspects of technological
advancement. The paper presented the IoT as an open access to selected subsets of data for
the development of a plethora of digital services. It is also mentioned that incorporating the
IoT as a general architecture of a smart city would be very complex task. IoT can evolve the
communication system, system administration and even emergency services for any smart
city.
The article used both comprehensive survey based and secondary data collection
method. The target audience of this article is the scholars and researchers of electronics and
communication. This article provides a in depth guideline of implementing the IoT as a part
of Smart City vision. The main strength of this paper is its practicality and feasibility, which
allows the learner to connect the theoretical concept directly to the modern world situations.
However, low sample size for survey is a major weakness of this article.

Article 3:
Gubbi, J., Buyya, R., Marusic, S., & Palaniswami, M. (2013). Internet of Things (IoT):
A vision, architectural elements, and future directions. Future generation
computer systems, 29(7), 1645-1660.
This article focus on the strategic implementation of modern Wireless Sensor
Network technology with Internet of things that can improve the quality of daily lifestyle of
any citizen. The Article expressed that this utilisation can offers the ability to measure, infer
and understand environmental indicators considering the delicate ecologies, natural resources
and other core components of urban environment. Radio Frequency Identification or RFID is
a major tool of developing Common Operating Picture (COP) with the foundation of
integrated IoT system. Implementing the cloud with IoT software and hardware technologies
can start a new era of secured wireless computing.
This article followed secondary data collection method to execute a thematic analysis
on Internet of Things. The target audience of this article is the scholars and researchers of
electronics and communication. This paper is very valuable to understand the wireless
implementation of IoT and its value in modern era. The paper also explores the required
networking system with detail. However, the major limitation of this article is it collected
data only from secondary sources that caused a shortage of more realistic and primary data
investigation.
