3.  Abbreviation of “Internet of Things ”.
 It describes the network of physical objects—“things”—that are
embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies for the
purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and
systems over the internet.
 Each thing has a unique identifier.
 Ability to transfer data over a network.
 No human-computer communication.
 It is applied to practically any technology that can give information
about its functioning, activity completion, and environmental
situations.
What is IoT ?

4. What is Cloud computing ?
 It is the delivery of computing services—including servers, storage, databases,
networking, software, analytics, and intelligence—over the Internet.
 ( NIST Definition ) “ It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand
network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks,
servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and
released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction “.
 Cloud deployment models :
 Public Cloud.
 Private Cloud.
 Community Cloud.
 Hybrid Cloud.

5. How Cloud helps IoT ?
 Cloud integration solves some IoT problems :
 Great processing power.
 Permanent storage of a huge amount of data.
 Possibility to develop monitoring services for some applications.
 Data management.
 Data analysis.
 Availability.
 Scalability.
Only the cloud is not the best solution to the problems of the Internet of things as a whole

6. What is Fog computing?
 Refers to extending cloud computing to the edge of an enterprise's
network.
 Computing architecture in which a series of nodes receives data from IoT
devices in real-time.
 Supports the Internet of Things (IoT) concept
 Fog helps IoT by providing:
 Low latency
 Real-time interaction
 Preprocessing
 Local storing

7. Problem statement
 The Internet of Things is a very useful technology that has greatly helped the development of information technology, but it
faces problems in network management, standardization, processing, storage, and securing a large amount of data.
 A set of solutions to these problems have been proposed, including the use of an architecture containing cloud computing
technology.
 cloud computing has contributed to solving many challenges and problems facing the Internet of Things, but it cannot be a
complete and reliable solution for all applications of The Internet of things.
 Thus, there is a need for consolidating it with other technologies such as fog computing.

8. Smart agriculture proposed system
 The smart agriculture system consists of three layers:
 IoT Network Layer contains :
 Temperature and humidity sensor node .
 Soil moisture sensor node.
 Flame sensing node.
 RGB LED node.
 The Fog layer contains one node with a GPRS module.
 The Cloud layer contains:
 Web API.
 Database.
 Web APP.
