Abstract

Ubiquitous sensing enabled by Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) technologies cuts across many areas of modern day living. This

offers the ability to measure, infer and understand environmental indicators, from delicate ecologies and natural resources to urban

environments. The proliferation of these devices in a communicating-actuating network creates the Internet of Things (IoT),

wherein, sensors and actuators blend seamlessly with the environment around us, and the information is shared across platforms in

order to develop a common operating picture (COP). Fuelled by the recent adaptation of a variety of enabling wireless technologies

such as RFID tags and embedded sensor and actuator nodes, the IoT has stepped out of its infancy and is the the next revolutionary

technology in transforming the Internet into a fully integrated Future Internet. As we move from www (static pages web) to web2

(social networking web) to web3 (ubiquitous computing web), the need for data-on-demand using sophisticated intuitive queries

increases significantly. This paper presents a Cloud centric vision for worldwide implementation of Internet of Things. The key

enabling technologies and application domains that are likely to drive IoT research in the near future are discussed. A Cloud

implementation using Aneka, which is based on interaction of private and public Clouds is presented. We conclude our IoT vision

by expanding on the need for convergence of WSN, the Internet and distributed computing directed at technological research

community.
