Internet of Everything: Evolution and Fundamental Concepts

Internet of Everything (IoE) was used in 2012 as a network of networks by using intelligent network connections. These networks offered a great service toward enriching the user experience for data communication, sensing, and monitoring capabilities. The evolution and fundamental concept of IoE network is covering users, social networks, user behavior analysis, and new standards and technologies. These networks are based on enabling technologies, smart and intelligent architectures, network topologies, and intelligent information systems. Due to complex nature of these networks, there are a number of issues and challenges degrading the network services. In this context, this chapter presents the history, applications, and network architecture of the IoE. This chapter also presents the fundamental components (applications, areas and fields, architectures, networks, etc.) that underpin IoE networks. All the processes, data communication standards, security requirements, and resource management are also discussed to explore new research areas in IoE networks.
