The Role of Operating Systems in IoT
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of connected devices, such as sensors, cameras, and other electronic devices, that collect and exchange data over the Internet. Operating systems play a crucial role in the characteristics of IoT by providing the underlying software infrastructure that allows these devices to communicate and exchange data. The growth of the IoT also raises significant privacy and security concerns. The large amounts of data generated by IoT devices can be vulnerable to cyber-attacks, and the widespread use of connected devices can lead to the erosion of privacy. Resource Management: Operating systems in IoT devices provide resource management functions, such as allocating memory, managing processes, and scheduling tasks. This helps to ensure that IoT devices have the necessary resources to perform their functions efficiently…
