A REVIEW PAPER ON SOCIAL INTERNET OF THINGS (SIOT)

Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming a subject of interest in the software sector over past couple of years as it offers better forms of storing data and using smart technologies and producing revolutionary outcomes which will alter the course of computer technology. Nevertheless, the problem with IoT in such a way is that it seeks to find an exceptional promotional message on how it will actually benefit people's lives. It has been noted that those linked in a social media network may offer more accurate answers to complicated issues than just an individual. Social networks have increasingly been combined with IoT to build Social Internet of Things (SIoT) in a move to enhance web access, analysis and policy making in real time, all at the best possible cost. The" Social Internet of Things (SIoT)" is defined as an IoT in which objects are suitable for maintaining social connections with various objects, regardless of people. In this paper, an overview on how IoT is integrated with SIoT is discussed. Followed by an architecture of SIoT and the obstacles which are currently hampering the progress of SIoT.
