Historical Background

Internet of Things (IoT) has been an integral component of our lives and thriving with new products and services. This term was first introduced by Kevin Ashton at Procter & Gamble (P&G) in 1999 (Ashton et al., 2009). He presented the idea that computers could be empowered to observe, identify, and understand the physical world with RFID (radio-frequency identification) and sensor technology. By now, this definition has evolved continually with the development of embedded systems, wireless sensor networks, machine learning, etc. As defined in ITU (2012), IoT is the network of interconnecting physical and virtual things which have embedded information and communication technologies that allow these things to interact and exchange data. In addition to the personal devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, IoT objects have been widely used in others fields which include, but not restricted to, agriculture (Mekala...
