Abstract


The advent of Internet of Things (IoT) has sparked enthusiasm and captured the attention of most industries. However, the development of IoT devices took place without the context of a standardization process regarding the data that these devices can communicate or regarding the protocols through which they communicate. Currently, the desire is to use the information from IoT devices in building the context related to the user actions. The user’s data IoT equipment and the results of context analysis, such as road traffic control, can be used in monitoring of environmental conditions or coordinating emergency situations. The paper aims to present the challenges that arise when trying to connect multiple IoT devices or sensors in a Cloud-Fog-Edge architecture.
