Abstract: With the advanced research in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) and other enabling technologies, Internet of Things (IoT) becomes a promising service to most kind of users. In this paper, the definition of the IoT is introduced with tracing back where it is come from. In addition, it covers a brief description of the current enabling technologies that support the infrastructure of the IoT. Moreover, the current architecture of the IoT is explained with two proposed architecture that exploit Cloud Computing to enhance the scalability and flexibility. Furthermore, health care and medicine, transportation and equipment maintenance applications have been discussed and how they could enhance to each industry. This paper ends the body of the topic by identifying the challenges and future work of the IoT i.e. issues related to security, privacy, self-management capabilities, power consumption, heterogeneity issues, scalability, naming and identification and communication connectivity are all covered.
