The Internet of Things (IoT) is a vital component of many future industries. By intelligent integration of sensors, wireless communications, computing techniques, and data analytics, IoT can increase productivity and efficiency of industries. Reliability of data transmission is key to realize several applications offered by IoT. In this paper, we present an overview of future IoT applications, and their major communication requirements. We provide a brief survey of recent work in four major areas of reliable IoT including resource allocation, latency management, security, and reliability metrics. Finally, we highlight some of the important challenges for reliable IoT related to machine learning techniques, 6G communications and blockchain based security that need further investigation and discuss related future directions.

Internet of Things (IoT) is an up-and-coming technology that has a wide variety of applications. It empowers physical objects to be organized in a specialized framework to grow its convenience in terms of ease and time utilization. It is to convert the thought of bridging the crevice between the physical world and the machine world. It is also being use in the wide range of the technology in this current situation. One of its applications is to monitor and store data over time from numerous devices allows for easy analysis of the dataset. This analysis can then be the basis of decisions made on the same. In this study, the concept, architecture, and relationship of IoT and Big Data are described. Next, several use cases in IoT and big data in the research methodology are studied. The opportunities and open challenges which including the future directions are described. Furthermore, by proposing a new architecture for big data analytics in the Internet of Things, this paper adds value. Overall, the various types of big IoT data analytics, their methods, and associated big data mining technologies are discussed.

In this study, we analyze how crop management will benefit from the Internet of Things (IoT) by providing an overview of its architecture and components from agronomic and technological perspectives. The present analysis highlights that IoT is a mature enabling technology with articulated hardware and software components. Cheap networked devices can sense crop fields at a finer grain to give timeliness warnings on the presence of stress conditions and diseases to a wider range of farmers. Cloud computing allows reliable storage, access to heterogeneous data, and machine-learning techniques for developing and deploying farm services. From this study, it emerges that the Internet of Things will draw attention to sensor quality and placement protocols, while machine learning should be oriented to produce understandable knowledge, which is also useful to enhance cropping system simulation systems.

<span lang="EN-US">Patterns for the internet of things (IoT) which represent proven solutions used to solve design problems in the IoT are numerous. Similar to object-oriented design patterns, these IoT patterns contain multiple mutual heterogeneous relationships. However, these pattern relationships are hidden and virtually unidentified in most documents. In this paper, we use machine learning techniques to automatically mine knowledge graphs to map these relationships between several IoT patterns. The end result is a semantic knowledge graph database which outlines patterns as vertices and their relations as edges. We have identified four main relationships between the IoT patterns-a pattern is similar to another pattern if it addresses the same use case problem, a large-scale pattern uses a small- scale pattern in a lower level layer, a large pattern is composed of multiple smaller scale patterns underneath it, and patterns complement and combine with each other to resolve a given use case problem. Our results show some promising prospects towards the use of machine learning techniques to generate an automated repository to organise the IoT patterns, which are usually extracted at various levels of abstraction and granularity.</span>

The Internet of Things (IoT) systems have limited resources, making it difficult to implement some security mechanisms. It is important to detect attacks against these environments and identify their type. However, existing multi-class detection approaches present difficulties related to false positives and detection of less common attacks. Thus, this work proposes an approach with a two-stage analysis architecture based on One-Vs-All (OVA) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) to detect and identify intrusions in fog and IoT computing environments. The results of experiments with the Bot-IoT dataset demonstrate that the approach achieved promising results and reduced the number of false positives compared to state-of-the-art approaches and machine learning techniques.

The interconnection of large number of smart devices and sensors for critical information gathering and analysis over the internet has given rise to the Internet of Things (IoT) network. In recent times, IoT has emerged as a prime field for solving diverse real-life problems by providing a smart and affordable solutions. The IoT network has various constraints like: limited computational capacity of sensors, heterogeneity of devices, limited energy resource and bandwidth etc. These constraints restrict the use of high-end security mechanisms, thus making these type of networks more vulnerable to various security attacks including malicious insider attacks. Also, it is very difficult to detect such malicious insiders in the network due to their unpredictable behaviour and the ubiquitous nature of IoT network makes the task more difficult. To solve such problems machine learning techniques can be used as they have the ability to learn the behaviour of the system and predict the particular anomaly in the system. So, in this paper we have discussed various security requirements and challenges in the IoT network. We have also applied various supervised machine learning techniques on available IoT dataset to deduce which among them is best suited to detect the malicious insider attacks in the IoT network.

In recent years, rapid development has been made to the Internet of Things communication technologies, infrastructure, and physical resources management. These developments and research trends address challenges such as heterogeneous communication, quality of service requirements, unpredictable network conditions, and a massive influx of data. One major contribution to the research world is in the form of software-defined networking applications, which aim to deploy rule-based management to control and add intelligence to the network using high-level policies to have integral control of the network without knowing issues related to low-level configurations. Machine learning techniques coupled with software-defined networking can make the networking decision more intelligent and robust. The Internet of Things application has recently adopted virtualization of resources and network control with software-defined networking policies to make the traffic more controlled and maintainable. However, the requirements of software-defined networking and the Internet of Things must be aligned to make the adaptations possible. This paper aims to discuss the possible ways to make software-defined networking enabled Internet of Things application and discusses the challenges solved using the Internet of Things leveraging the software-defined network. We provide a topical survey of the application and impact of software-defined networking on the Internet of things networks. We also study the impact of machine learning techniques applied to software-defined networking and its application perspective. The study is carried out from the different perspectives of software-based Internet of Things networks, including wide-area networks, edge networks, and access networks. Machine learning techniques are presented from the perspective of network resources management, security, classification of traffic, quality of experience, and quality of service prediction. Finally, we discuss challenges and issues in adopting machine learning and software-defined networking for the Internet of Things applications.
