The utilization of algorithms for cloud internet of things application domains: a review

Cloud internet of things (IoT) is an emerging technology that is already impelling the daily activities of our lives. However, the enormous resources (data and physical features of things) generated from Cloud-enabled IoT sensing devices are lacking suitable managerial approaches. Existing research surveys on Cloud IoT mainly focused on its fundamentals, definitions and layered architecture as well as security challenges. Going by the current literature, none of the existing researches is yet to provide a detailed analysis on the approaches deployed to manage the heterogeneous and dynamic resource data generated by sensor devices in the cloud-enabled IoT paradigm. Hence, to bridge this gap, the existing algorithms designed to manage resource data on various CloudIoT application domains are investigated and analyzed. The emergence of CloudIoT, followed by previous related survey articles in this field, which motivated the current study is presented. Furthermore, the utilization of simulation environment, highlighting the programming languages and a brief description of the simulation packages adopted to design and evaluate the performance of the algorithms are examined. The utilization of diverse network communication protocols and gateways to aid resource dissemination in the cloud-enabled IoT network infrastructure are also discussed. The future work as discussed in previous researches, which pave the way for future research directions in this field is also presented, and ends with concluding remarks
