Abstract

Labelled as “The next Industrial Revolution”, Internet of Things (IoT) is the technology giant which is rapidly gaining ground in the scenario of modern wireless sensor networks (WSNs) where physical objects (or “things”) are connected through the common platform, i.e. Internet. The Internet of Things paradigm is paving the way towards success, providing services in different domains. Single architecture is not enough to provide essential services in all domains. The reference model can be made to provide a starting point for developers looking further for developing strong IoT solutions. In order to facilitate future research and to help the product builder to choose from the different architectures, this paper does an analysis of layer-specific, domain-specific and industry-defined IoT architectures. Intel, IBM and CISCO have also made a push towards developing new models that aims to standardize the complex and fragmented IoT industry by releasing IoT platform reference architectures. This paper contributes the IoT, basic elements of IoT, systematic classification of different IoT architectures and comparison of industry-defined architectures.
