A Survey on Emerging Integration of Cloud Computing and Internet of Things

In this global era of technology, ambient intelligence links all real-life objects to internet, allowing us to collect all their data for information extraction and even its transformation into knowledge. With the rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT), arises the need of more storage and computation power, which makes it essential for IoT to go along with distributed computing due to the enormous proportion of data IoT may produce. The virtually unlimited processing and storage resources of distributed systems are the minuscule solution to IoT's resource issues and will also assist in mining potentially valuable statistics to help create smart applications for the users. In this survey, we are focusing on the consolidation of Cloud Computing and IoT, which is what we call Cloud of Things (CoT). Numerous researchers have studied Cloud computing & IoT on an individual premise and, their fundamental things, highlights and stifled technologies. In this paper, we offer a survey on the consolidation of Cloud and IoT. Beginning by examining the foundations of each IoT and Cloud Computing, we will in general discuss their fundamental technologies, their complementarity, and particularization and then finally we will be heading to their joining. The Cloud of Things concept has brought a variety of realizations to life. In this paper we have discusses some of the key problems that ascend from cloud and IoT integration and a few views on how to counter these issues.
