The Internet of Things (IoT) is the result of the convergence of sensing, computing, and
networking technologies, allowing devices of varying sizes and computational capabilities
(things) to intercommunicate. This communication can be achieved locally enabling what is
known as edge and fog computing, or through the well‐established Internet infrastructure,
exploiting the computational resources in the cloud. The IoT paradigm enables a new breed
of applications in various areas including health care, energy management and smart cities …
