An Era of Recommendation Technologies in IoT: Categorisation by techniques, Challenges and Future Scope

Abstract

The evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) accelerates the augmentation of data present on the Internet and possibilities for connections to the more dynamic and heterogeneous devices to the Internet. Recommendation technologies have proven their capabilities of digging the personalised information by proactive filtering in many application domains and can also be a backbone platform in IoT for identifying personalised things, services and relevant artefacts by prevailing over information overload problems. This paper is a comprehensive literature review that categorises IoT recommender systems by exploring the literature’s different IoT based recommendation techniques. We conclude the paper by discussing the challenges and future scope for IoT based recommendations techniques to advancing and widening the frontiers of this research area.
