IoT-Enabled Smart Applications and Challenges

Significant advances in the development of information and communication technology lead to collaborating computational entities into cyber-physical systems (CPS). A CPS serves as the foundation for many latest technology, e.g., the internet of things (IoT). Both IoT and CPS technologies provide several advantages that make our daily lives more simple and smart. These technologies are employed for a wide range of smart applications like smart city, smart home, smart transport, smart healthcare, etc., that can improve business, security, and health-related experiences. This paper primarily explores various IoT-enabled smart applications and examines their necessity, characteristics, and related issues. The paper also highlights various challenges of these smart applications followed by the state-of-the-art to address them. Each smart application promotes a sustainable, healthier, and comfortable life, including their future in the smart world.
