Recent advances in wireless technology, micro-elecromechanical systems and
the internet have enabled the Internet of things (IOT). In IOT, not only
computers are connected to the internet, any object, animal or people could
be connected to the internet.  Objects, animals, and people have a unique
identifier (address). They can transfer data over the internet without
requiring the human-to-computer interaction. The existing of different
types of objects which are connected through the internet promote many
research challenges. For example, huge amount of data are usually
generated, processed and transferred. Special Internetworking
infrastructure may be needed. Security and privacy issues become more
critical.
