Abstract

This comprehensive academic exploration delves into the revolutionary convergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) with distributed cloud computing, redefining the realms of data processing, storage, and communication. The paper critically analyzes scholarly work from reputable journals, providing profound insights into this integration's multifaceted applications and underlying technological frameworks. The relevance of IoT, a network of interconnected devices and sensors, is emphasized through its significant impact on diverse sectors, including healthcare, education, agriculture, and smart cities. This impact is magnified by its extensive data collection, processing, and analysis capabilities, enabled through cloud computing platforms. The objective of the paper is to methodically compare and contrast contemporary scholarly contributions, shedding light on the diverse applications and technological infrastructures of IoT in conjunction with distributed cloud computing. This endeavor encompasses an examination of IoT-based cloud infrastructure, detailed analysis of specific needs, implementations, and applications of IoT-based cloud computing, and a review of various IoT cloud platforms. The paper also highlights the benefits of integrating IoT with cloud computing, elucidating significant advantages and potential future directions of this technology. Through this scholarly inquiry, the paper aims to offer an in-depth perspective on the state-of-the-art developments in IoT and distributed cloud computing. It underscores their significance and potential in shaping the future of digital technology and its applications across various domains.
