  • A Comparative Study Between Operating Systems (Os) for the Internet of Things (Iot)
    VOLUME 5 NO 4, 2017 A Comparative Study Between Operating Systems (Os) for the Internet of Things (IoT) Aberbach Hicham, Adil Jeghal, Abdelouahed Sabrim, Hamid Tairi LIIAN, Department of Mathematic & Computer Sciences, Sciences School, Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah University, [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT Abstract : We describe The Internet of Things (IoT) as a network of physical objects or "things" embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, which enables these objects to collect and exchange data in real time with the outside world. It therefore assumes an operating system (OS) which is considered as an unavoidable point for good communication between all devices “objects”. For this purpose, this paper presents a comparative study between the popular known operating systems for internet of things . In a first step we will define in detail the advantages and disadvantages of each one , then another part of Interpretation is developed, in order to analyze the specific requirements that an OS should satisfy to be used and determine the most appropriate .This work will solve the problem of choice of operating system suitable for the Internet of things in order to incorporate it within our research team. Keywords: Internet of things , network, physical object ,sensors,operating system. 1 Introduction The Internet of Things (IoT) is the vision of interconnecting objects, users and entities “objects”. Much, if not most, of the billions of intelligent devices on the Internet will be embedded systems equipped with an Operating Systems (OS) which is a system programs that manage computer resources whether tangible resources (like memory, storage, network, input/output etc.) or intangible resources (like running other computer programs as processes, providing logical ports for different network connections etc.), So it is the most important program that runs on a computer[1].
