Internet of Everything

The Internet of Everything (IoE) represents a significant evolution in connectivity, going beyond the traditional Internet of Things (IoT) to encompass not only devices but also people, processes, and data. This holistic approach aims to solve the increasingly complex challenges of modern urban environments, including efficient resource management, enhancing public safety, and optimising urban mobility. By integrating various components of a city's infrastructure and accelerating technologies such as 5G and Edge Computing, IoE facilitates a smarter, more sustainable approach to urban development and overall connectivity.

At its core, the Internet of Everything combines four key elements: people, data, processes, and things. People are connected through more intuitive and efficient interfaces. Data becomes more valuable through aggregation, analysis, and actionable insights. Processes gain efficiency by adapting to real-time information. Lastly, 'things' refer to the physical devices and sensors interconnected through the internet, from smartphones and wearable technology to home appliances, machinery, facilities, and entire cities. Together, these elements work in unison to automate, enhance, and optimise urban living, making cities more responsive to the needs of their inhabitants.

By enabling the collection and analysis of data from a wide array of sources, urban planners and city councils can make informed decisions that reduce waste, improve energy efficiency, and mitigate environmental impacts, eventually creating Cognitive Twins of entire systems. For instance, smart grids can balance electricity supply and demand in real time, reducing carbon emissions. Smart transportation systems can alleviate traffic congestion, lowering pollution levels and enhancing the quality of urban life. Moreover, the integration of real-time data processing with urban infrastructure supports proactive governance and public services, contributing to more resilient and adaptive urban ecosystems.

The Internet of Everything (IoE) represents a paradigm shift in the world of connectivity. While the Internet of Things (IoT) initiated the era of interconnected devices, the IoE takes this concept to new heights by interlinking objects, individuals, data, and processes. Symmetry in IoE innovation and technology is essential for creating a harmonious and efficient ecosystem to ensure that the benefits are accessible to a broad spectrum of society while minimizing potential drawbacks. This comprehensive review paper explores the multifaceted landscape of the IoE, delving into its core concepts, enabling technologies, real-world applications, and the intricate web of challenges it presents. A focal point of this review is the diverse array of real-world applications spanning healthcare, smart cities, industry 4.0, agriculture, and sustainability. Previous works and examples illustrate how the IoE reshapes these domains, leading to greater efficiency, sustainability, and improved decision making. However, the transformative power of the IoE is accompanied by a host of challenges, including security and privacy concerns, interoperability issues, and the ethical implications of ubiquitous connectivity. These challenges are dissected in order to comprehensively understand the obstacles and potential solutions in the IoE landscape. As we stand on the cusp of an IoE-driven future, this review paper serves as a valuable resource for researchers, policy makers, and industry professionals seeking to navigate the complexities of this emerging paradigm. By illuminating the intricacies of the IoE, this review fosters a deeper appreciation for the transformative potential and the multifaceted challenges that lie ahead in the Internet of Everything era.
The Internet of Everything (IoE) is having an enormous impact on business. This phenomenon is completely reinventing the way businesses operate. It is bringing productivity and competitiveness to higher levels along with opening up many doors to new and exciting opportunities. Companies that are more recently harnessing the power of IoE are excited to realize that it will impact their overall business strategy, not just their technology.
This era witnessed the rapidly growing of internet technology, a huge amount of people all over the world using the internet and it applications, there are various ways and purposes for using the internet which contributed in so many fields, and one of these techniques which will be more increasing and usage is the future is the Internet of Things (IoT), which facilitate using of many embedded devices that help will be connected and controlled through the internet. The technology of the Internet of Things (IoT) relies on Cloud Computing. Cloud Computing provides a baseline that supports IoT and is built on the idea of allowing individuals to perform computing activities via internet-based services. This article presents a comprehensive survey on addresses the concerns, challenges, and existing state-of-the-art standards to emphasize and overcome most of the proposed technical solutions and it will deepen the importance of the IoT & The Internet of Everything (IoE) technology, the paper will cover and the domain of the internet of things and several technologies that widely used. The paper covered the architecture of the resulting Cloud-based IoT paradigm, as well as its new application scenarios, which will be discussed. Finally, new research directions and challenges are offered.
The internet of everything (IoE), connecting people, organizations and smart things, promises to fundamentally change how we live, work and interact, and it may redefine a wide range of industry sectors. This conceptual paper aims to develop a vision of how the IoE may alter business models and the ways in which individuals and organizations create value. We review literature on networked business models and service ecosystems, and show that a clearer understanding is needed of how the IoE will impact on the ways that organizations go about their business at the micro, meso and macro levels. Combining this with an inductive, vignette-based approach, we present a new taxonomy of smart things based on their capabilities and their connectivity. We derive their implications for business models and conclude the paper with propositions that form a research agenda for business researchers.
The current statuses and future promises of the Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Everything (IoE) and Internet of Nano-Things (IoNT) are extensively reviewed and a summarized survey is presented. The analysis clearly distinguishes between IoT and IoE, which are wrongly considered to be the same by many commentators. After evaluating the current trends of advancement in the fields of IoT, IoE and IoNT, this paper identifies the 21 most significant current and future challenges as well as scenarios for the possible future expansion of their applications. Despite possible negative aspects of these developments, there are grounds for general optimism about the coming technologies. Certainly, many tedious tasks can be taken over by IoT devices. However, the dangers of criminal and other nefarious activities, plus those of hardware and software errors, pose major challenges that are a priority for further research. Major specific priority issues for research are identified.
The paradigm of the Internet of everything (IoE) is advancing toward enriching people’s lives by adding value to the Internet of things (IoT), with connections among people, processes, data, and things. This paper provides a survey of the literature on IoE research, highlighting concerns in terms of intelligence services and knowledge creation. The significant contributions of this study are as follows: (1) a systematic literature review of IoE taxonomies (including IoT); (2) development of a taxonomy to guide the identification of critical knowledge in IoE applications, an in-depth classification of IoE enablers (sensors and actuators); (3) validation of the defined taxonomy with 50 IoE applications; and (4) identification of issues and challenges in existing IoE applications (using the defined taxonomy) with regard to insights about knowledge processes. To the best of our knowledge, and taking into consideration the 76 other taxonomies compared, this present work represents the most comprehensive taxonomy that provides the orchestration of intelligence in network connections concerning knowledge processes, type of IoE enablers, observation characteristics, and technological capabilities in IoE applications.
Cisco defines the Internet of Everything (IoE) as the networked connection of people, process, data, and things. The benefit of IoE is derived from the compound impact of connecting people, process, data, and things, and the value this increased connectedness creates as “everything” comes online.
