Abstract
Wireless sensor network (WSN) is an outdated technology that is used to monitor the physical changes in environment and take necessary actions. The advancement in WSN leads to automation in physical environment by uploading the sensed data to internet or cloud. The internet of things concept deals with the issues of making things connected to the internet as well as in a network of smart devices. IoT application development presents an enormous opportunity to reshape entire industries. According to McKinsey & Co, the merging of the physical and digital worlds via IoT could generate up to $11.1 trillion a year in economic value by 2025. Hence, the development of the web-based IoT applications will take automation research to the next level. Many authors have proposed many solutions to make internet of things possible in day-to-day life. This chapter gives an introduction about the web-based application development based on internet of things. The major objective of this chapter is to discuss and resolve the challenges in IoT to automate the real-time problems.
