Both the idea and technology for connecting sensors and actuators to a network to remotely monitor and control physical systems have been known for many years and developed accordingly. However, a little more than a decade ago the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT) was coined and used to integrate such approaches into a common framework. Technology has been constantly evolving and so has the concept of the Internet of Things, incorporating new terminology appropriate to technological advances and different application domains. This paper presents the changes that the IoT has undertaken since its conception and research on how technological advances have shaped it and fostered the arising of derived names suitable to specific domains. A two-step literature review through major publishers and indexing databases was conducted; first by searching for proposals on the Internet of Things concept and analyzing them to find similarities, differences, and technological features that allow us to create a timeline showing its development; in the second step the most mentioned names given to the IoT for specific domains, as well as closely related concepts were identified and briefly analyzed. The study confirms the claim that a consensus on the IoT definition has not yet been reached, as enabling technology keeps evolving and new application domains are being proposed. However, recent changes have been relatively moderated, and its variations on application domains are clearly differentiated, with data and data technologies playing an important role in the IoT landscape.
将传感器和执行器连接到网络以远程监控和控制物理系统的想法和技术已经存在多年并相应地得到了发展。然而，就在十多年前，物联网（IoT）的概念被创造出来，并用于将这些方法整合到一个通用框架中。技术在不断发展，物联网的概念也在不断演变，纳入了适合技术进步和不同应用领域的新术语。本文介绍了物联网自概念提出以来所经历的变化，以及关于技术进步如何塑造物联网并催生适合特定领域的衍生名称的研究。通过主要出版商和索引数据库进行了两步文献综述；首先通过搜索关于物联网概念的提案并对其进行分析，以找出相似之处、差异和技术特征，从而创建一个展示其发展的时间表；第二步，确定并简要分析了针对特定领域给予物联网的最常提及的名称以及密切相关的概念。该研究证实了尚未达成关于物联网定义的共识这一说法，因为使能技术不断发展，新的应用领域也不断被提出。然而，最近的变化相对较为缓和，其在应用领域的变化也有明显区别，数据和数据技术在物联网格局中发挥着重要作用。
