Internet of Things (IoT) - Transforming Software Architecture

Welcome to the fourth installment of the series “Emerging Technologies and Their Impact.” In this article, we will dive into the Internet of Things (IoT), a revolutionary technology that connects everyday objects to the Internet, enabling them to send and receive data. We’ll explore the implications of IoT on software architecture, examine specific architectural models, and offer resources for further learning.

Understanding IoT in Software Architecture

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of physical objects embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies to connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the Internet. This interconnectivity enhances the ability to collect, analyze, and act on data in real time, leading to more efficient and innovative applications across various industries.
