Research Challenges in IoT enablement for Enterprise

Although Internet of Things (IoT) is not a new terminology yet finding its suitability to many of the enterprises is challenging. Because almost all the applications are dynamic in nature, the devices under an IoT environment are supposed to be functional as usual under the scalable conditions also. Both, the constrained nature of the devices and the scalable nature of the applications, are together restricting the enterprises to adopt the new IoT environment. In this work, the authors are presenting an overview of different applications under an IoT environment such as Mobile IoT (M-IoT), Smart Home, Smart City, Smart Grid, Smart Transport, Industrial IoT (IIoT) and Internet of Healthcare Things (IoHT) etc. The study will be focused on different parameters such as seamless communication, device security, communication security and applicability. Some findings of this study indicate that the security considerations of many applications are not addressed properly. The authors will also elaborate major research challenges to work upon related to different applications in an IoT environment.
