Abstract:
"The need and drive for sustainable development have never
been greater. This creates demand for radical ways to improve
efficiency and resource productivity. This paper describes how
integrating the Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data and Cloud
computing creates a recipe for driving sustainable
development and growth. Issues and challenges associated
with IoT technology are explored and a framework for the
integration of these three technologies with sustainability
strategies is presented. The economic, social and
environmental impact of the proposed framework is discussed.
to the best of the authors‘ knowledge, there is no reported
research which discusses the IoT from a sustainability point of
view. "
