Dina Nawara, Rasha Kashef
Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) has emerged in many industries, such as health care, transportation, agriculture, manufacturing, smart homes, to name a few. It paves the path for massive applications on the user level to enhance the quality of life or service, and on the decision-makers' level to provide a sustainable increase in revenue. IoT principally connects different physical objects (e.g., sensors) and enables them to communicate, collect, and share data. In the Era of IoT, Recommendation systems provide personalized recommendations based on the user's historical datasets collected from the IoT devices. These recommendations enable an efficient decision-making process by suggesting relevant products, resources, and information. This paper provides an overview of various multi-layers IoT architectures, and IoT-based recommendation systems with an emphasis on their advantages, disadvantages, application domains, and validation metrics for quality assessment.
