Internet of Things in Cloud Computing

In the recent time, the advancement of network and communication systems developed new mechanisms for communicating and managing devices and it led to new area called Internet of Things (IoT). It means connecting devices through Internet for performing processes and services to provide prime services and needs of people in real life. So, it has become one of the most popular and important research directions for scientists and researchers to develop new approaches and procedures for performing communication process between devices in easy and efficient manner. To empower the connected devices with huge capabilities of computing and storage resources that can help to manage and handle billion of devices, there is a serious need in technology to support these capabilities. Cloud computing is one such essential technologies that can provide and enable IoT with the required capabilities and resources. This chapter reviews IoT in cloud computing systematically reviewed. Additionally, various research directions to enable cloud computing in IoT are presented.
