Revolution in networks of smart objects: Social Internet of Things

Nowadays Internet of Things gives a high comfort level to human life by providing connectivity between objects with a human being. People are also connected with each other via Social Network. There are many researches are being conducted on an integration of Social Network with Internet of Things. This new paradigm knows as “Social Internet of Things”. Internet of Things has many limitations so to overcome it Social IoT can be used. Social IoT provides network of objects with security, navigability and scalability by converting “Smart” objects to “Social” object. Social IoT provides all social network services and best comfort level using IoT. In this way, Social IoT has two separate layers as a network of people and network of smart objects and still, Social IoT paradigm can be represented as a field of state of art in IoT and Social Network and simulations. In this paper, we have contributed the implementation of Social IoT with history of Intranet of Things to Social IoT, Social IoT architectures, various relationships of Smart objects with each other, different policies, challenges and applications etc.
