Alongside developments in the Internet technologies, technologies in Sensor Networks and Near Field Communication using RFID tags have also been evolving. Convergence of these two technologies, i.e. the Internet and Sensor Networks,
is leading to new possibilities and visions. The possibility of a framework that would allow direct machine-to-machine
communication over the Internet has led researchers to envision the benefits of bringing more machines online and
allowing them to participate in the web as a vast network of autonomous, self-organizing devices. This vision has produced a paradigm being referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT).
