This document provides an introduction to Internet of Things (IoT), including potential application areas like smart cities and healthcare. It describes the characteristics of IoT systems like being dynamic, self-configuring, and having unique device identities. The "things" in IoT can be sensors, appliances, and vehicles that collect and exchange data. The IoT stack consists of layers including the physical sensor layer, network layer, and application layer. Enabling technologies that power IoT include sensors, cloud computing, embedded systems, and communication protocols. Challenges of IoT include security, privacy, connectivity and power requirements. IoT systems can operate at different levels from device connectivity to global integration. IoT is related to but broader than
