Integration of cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence, and internet of things: review and open research issues

Cloud computing, internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence, and big data are four very different technologies that are already discussed separately. The use of the four technologies is required to be more and more necessary in the present day in order to make them important components in today’s world technology. In this paper, the authors center their attention on the integration of cloud, IoT, big data, and artificial intelligence. Several kinds of research papers have surveyed artificial intelligence, cloud, IoT, and big data separately and, more precisely, their main properties, characteristics, underlying technologies, and open issues. However, to the greatest of the authors’ knowledge, these works require a detailed analysis of the new paradigm that combines the four technologies, which suggests completely new challenges and research issues. To bridge this gap, this paper presents a survey on the integration of cloud, IoT, artificial intelligence, and big data. Copyright © 2021, IGI Global.
