The Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged as a transformative technology, 
connecting physical devices to the internet and enabling them to collect, analyze, and 
share data [1]. IoT has the potential to revolutionize various industries, from smart 
cities and healthcare to agriculture and transportation, promising increased efficiency, 
improved decision-making, and enhanced quality of life [2]. As IoT continues to gain 
momentum, it is crucial to understand the current trends, challenges, and future 
directions of this rapidly evolving field.
This 
thesis 
aims 
to 
provide 
a 
comprehensive overview of the IoT landscape, covering key concepts, applications, and 
technological advancements. It will explore the latest trends in IoT, including edge 
computing, artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain, and their potential impact on the 
IoT ecosystem [3]. The thesis will also discuss the challenges associated with IoT, such
