Abstract

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.

Fundamental Concepts

In the modern world, the use of new technology is important for several IT operations and numerous industries such as big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and IoT (Internet of things) for many of their applications for efficient management of the company. Various concepts and definitions are discussed below.

Characteristics of Big Data

Big data is data whose scale, distribution, variety, and/or timeliness need the use of new technical architectures, analytics, and tools in order to allow insights that open new sources of business value. Three main features characterize big data: volume, variety, and velocity. The volume of the data is its size, and how enormous it is. Velocity concerns to the rate with which data is changing, or how often it is created. Finally, variety includes the different formats and representations of data, as well as the different kinds of methods and techniques of analyzing the data (EMC, 2012).

Characteristics of Cloud

Cloud computing is the realization of utility computing where resources are implemented by the service provider and the cloud costumer will pay as they use the resources. The user can access the cloud via a thin client. Cloud also provides memory for a large number of data to store and allows computation. Hence a lot of users can rely on a cloud as it reduces the infrastructure charge that the user needs to invest (Drissi et al., 2015), (Drissi et al., 2019).

Characteristics of IoT

Internet of Things: Future internet will be mainly based on IOT. As the title indicates the Internet of Things is nothing but an interconnected network of things which are embedded with sensors and actuators. The thing may be any real-world object. These objects have the ability to collect data from the environment with the help of sensors and therefore they are termed as smart objects. A large amount of data will be managed by such smart objects, which will be helpful in future analysis.
