The Internet of Things (IoT) is basically the collection of sensors, actuators, wearables and similar things which have connectivity to the internet [29, 35]. These things are connected with each other to form a network and can communicate with each other. IoT devices have the capability to sense the surrounding environment and collect the data which can be processed by small computations within the IoT framework, which can lead to the development of real-time solutions. The real-time entities have their corresponding virtual entities. There also exists a communication between the virtual objects which is used to inform the real-life entities of the thing’s state. This control mechanism is also present within the IoT framework.
