The term ‘‘Internet-of-Things’’ is used as an umbrella keyword for covering various aspects
related to the extension of the Internet and the Web into the physical realm, by means of
the widespread deployment of spatially distributed devices with embedded identification,
sensing and/or actuation capabilities. Internet-of-Things envisions a future in which digital
and physical entities can be linked, by means of appropriate information and communica-
tion technologies, to enable a whole new class of applications and services. In this article,
we present a survey of technologies, applications and research challenges for Internet-
of-Things.
