the major areas of IoT platforms that sensitize the digitized world have been highlighted with special emphasis on the concepts of cloud, fog, edge, and virtual computing.

      Keywords: Internet of things, green computing, cloud computing, fog computing, edge computing, virtual computing, semantic IoT

      Figure 1.1 Major areas of IoT platform.

      In recent years, the IoT domain has been extended to provide enhanced tags to monitor and control the human affective states. Such attempts can be found useful in the field of criminal investigations, lie detection, an advanced warning to in-car board systems, on-line tutoring, computer games, security, banking, human resource planning, call centers, child psychology, etc. [4–9]. The associated devices and technologies can be effectively utilized in systems such as voice control, pacemakers, advanced hearing aids, Fitbit electronic wristbands, wearable sensors for the people having sight or mobility disabilities. The use of actuators or sensors to cope with an immediate seizure or a sudden fall or similar emergency can help people or patients of all ages in the home and work environment [10]. The additional security devices mounted on the body or its part will alert nearby individuals including the health attendants or medicos at the right time hence can enhance the quality of living being.

      An effective IoT framework in commercial applications requires the collection, analyzing, monitoring, and management of input data concerned with healthcare, medical, transportation, building, home automation, vehicles including agriculture. Elaborate research, control, and monitoring of these inputs can lead to new information and insights for channelizing in the desired directions. A reliable system can provide the desired freedom by linking the smart systems or devices, healthcare services, physicians, and medical resources to patients [11]. Another interesting application is to set-up smart beds in healthcare units equipped with actuators and sensors that provide patient information regularly and also to confirm whether a bed is vacated or occupied. These beds fitted with automatic sensors with appropriate supporting and pressure devices can either reduce or eliminate manual assistance to unwell individuals.

      1.3.1 The IoT Policy Domain

      The application of policy-based IoT in smart cities helps to plan for smart healthcare, smart vehicles, smart homes, smart security, smart campuses, smart agriculture, etc. [1]. Due to scare, limited and rapid depleting of resources with an increase in global population, it demands .a smart city environment for the future generation. With the advent of industrialization and the emission of poisonous gas particles, the world becomes unhealthy and suffocated. Further, many environmental hazards such as global warming, climate change, acid rain, soil erosion, etc. tend to threaten the world ecosystem. This has compelled the government agencies, NGOs, and policymakers to find different means or ways to contain the carbon footprints that grow exponentially. To be successful, the policies and strategies must appeal and be conducive to the manufacturers, designers, service providers, as well as the end-users with energy-efficient systems. Such planning, policies, regulations, etc. facilitate the smart environment where people can utilize the air conditioners, computer labs, sensors, and networking systems with desire for economical effectiveness. The IoT application in smart cities provides the provision to many factors such as

       Smart Agriculture: Smart agriculture based on the IoT aims to integrate several heterogeneous devices, objects, equipment such as the wearable sensors, humidity sensors, temperature sensors, mobile phones, etc. with the networking system to remain successful [14].Figure 1.2 Policy-based IoT applications.

       Smart healthcare: It requires a context-aware linking system to be efficient and viable linking the agriculture, healthcare, and environment [15]. The IoT must cater to a remote health monitoring system while managing huge data by applying visualization and data mining. The linking of the IoT green computing to health industries can infuse flexibility, interoperability, and intelligence by information transmission among different modules of the healthcare system. This reduces and simplifies the administrative task.

       Smart security: The world becomes small due to the use of IoT. This makes the people, installations, equipment, etc. vulnerable to cyber-attack. The loss, theft, and exposure of private information become common today due to network interconnectivity. The IoT system must be capable to safeguard from pilferage or leakage of sensitive information by taking preventive measures. This way, it can avoid unwanted threats to national, environmental, social, and personal entities by providing smart security with efficient IoT gateways [16]. It requires the provision of password protection systems, ciphering or cryptographic or jumbling technologies, robust routing mechanism. The security clearance is a must at every level to maintain information integrity, confidentiality, authenticity.

       Smart homes: The IoT-based smart homes help the end-users to cope and deal with their busy schedules by interlinking the sensors, electronic gadgets, etc. with software set up in homes [13]. The equipment such as the computer, mobile phone, air conditioner, lighting, heating mechanism, ventilation, security systems, hardware, etc. connected through networking and sensors benefit from these ends irrespective of time and place.

       Smart vehicles: The IoT-based smart transport system equipped with smart servers can provide e-notification, traffic and weather updates, automated accident detection, etc. to drivers and vehicle owners to save up on their energy
