IoT and RESTful Architecture Quiz

A connectionless protocol that prioritizes speed over reliability. It's ideal for applications that need to transfer small amounts of data quickly, like streaming audio or video.

This layer defines how applications communicate with the network. It enables communication between different programs using ports, like sending an email or browsing the web.

The foundation of the World Wide Web. It follows a request-response model, meaning a client sends a request to a server, and the server sends back a response. It's a stateless protocol, meaning each request is treated independently.

A lightweight protocol designed for communication between devices with limited resources. It uses a client-server model and is well suited for the Internet of Things (IoT).

A protocol that allows for full-duplex communication over a single socket connection. This means both parties can send and receive data simultaneously.

A lightweight messaging protocol based on a publish-subscribe model. It's ideal for sending data from sensors or devices to applications in constrained environments.

A protocol designed for real-time communication and streaming XML data. It supports both client-server and server-server communication.

A data-centric middleware standard that enables communication between devices in an IoT system. It uses a publish-subscribe model, allowing devices to share data seamlessly.

A constraint in RESTful architecture where each component interacts only with its immediate layer, preventing visibility into other layers.

RESTful APIs use a common method of communication between clients and servers, typically HTTP.

A key feature of RESTful APIs where servers can send executable code to clients for execution, enhancing functionality.

A network of sensors that monitor environmental and physical conditions, often used in IoT applications.

Provides users with virtual machines and virtual storage for computing and storage resources.

Offers tools, APIs, and services for developing and deploying applications in the cloud.

Delivers a complete software application or its user interface to users.

Large datasets generated by connected devices, such as sensor data from IoT systems.

Enables communication between IoT devices and applications.

A computer system embedded within a larger system to perform specific tasks.

A single node performs all tasks, including sensing, actuation, data storage, analysis, and application hosting. Suitable for low-cost and low-complexity solutions.

One node handles sensing/actuation and local analysis, while data is stored and applications run in the cloud. Suitable for big data but with lightweight analysis.

A single node with the functionality of Level 2 but with more focus on cloud-based analytics, making it ideal for data-intensive applications.

A global network where devices can communicate and exchange data, allowing them to interact with the physical world.

The number of devices connected to the internet is expected to reach 50 billion by 2020.

IoT devices can adapt to changes in their environment and take actions based on context, such as a security system adjusting its response based on current conditions.

IoT devices can communicate with each other and other systems using standard protocols, ensuring seamless integration.

Each device in the IoT has a unique identifier, like an IP address, allowing it to be easily recognized and tracked.

IoT devices collect data from sensors and other sources, process information, and can act on it locally or remotely. They also have interfaces for different communication types.

IoT devices and applications exchange data using various communication protocols.

The physical layer or medium used for local network connections to which a host (device) is attached.

The application of IoT in everyday life, including smart homes, cities, energy management, retail, and more.

Industries using IoT for process automation, data analysis, and improved efficiency, encompassing areas like agriculture, manufacturing, and healthcare.

A communication model where a client sends a request to a server, and the server responds with an answer. Each request-response pair is independent of others.

This model involves publishers, brokers, and consumers. Publishers send data to topics managed by a broker. Consumers subscribe to those topics. When the broker receives data, it sends it to all subscribed consumers.

Data producers 'push' data into queues, and consumers 'pull' data from those queues. Producers don't need to know about consumers, and queues decouple communication.

This is a bidirectional communication model with a persistent connection between client and server. The connection remains open until the client closes it.

A set of principles for designing web services and APIs that focus on transferring resources between client and server.

A REST constraint requiring each client request to contain all information needed to be understood by the server.

A REST constraint where responses can be labeled as either cacheable or non-cacheable, allowing efficient data reuse.

A type of API that uses RESTful principles to communicate with servers.

A type of API that uses WebSockets for communication between client and server, offering real-time communication and persistent connections.

A type of interface provided by IoT applications that allows users to control and monitor different aspects of IoT systems.
