VIII.CONCLUSIONS
The idea of the Internet of Things is emerging rapidly on finding out their route to our modern life, aiming to enhance the finesses of the life by linking many smart devices, technologies, and applications together. This paper has provided an overview of IoT architectures and their features, and the recent research addressing different aspects of the IoT. We must emphasize that in contrast to critical IoT applications we focused on mass IoT applications. Therefore the IoT platforms we surveyed mostly reflected the massive IoT requirements. The investigation covers many aspects such as device management, integration, security, protocols for data collection, types of analytics, support for visualizations. This, in turn, could expand the foundation of understanding the architecture and the role of different components and protocols that are framing the IoT. The description of our novel architecture represented in Section II might be useful. Future works could present a detailed comparison and description of cloud platforms, Standardized Protocols for the Internet of Things and the types of IoT platforms.
