Abstract
Internet of Things (IoT) has the potential to support a more sustainable world by
digitalizing various daily-life tasks and industrial processes. On the other hand, the global
energy consumption of IoT devices is already gigantic. The energy consumption and the
e-waste of IoT devices will increase considerably since the number of devices will exceed
75 billion soon. Over the years, Green IoT (G-IoT) has emerged as a research area to
reduce the energy consumption of IoT devices and increase the lifespan of these devices.
Among many, we consider intermittent computing and software-defined IoT systems two
important research directions within the context of G-IoT. In this paper, we investigate
the intermittent computing techniques, categorize them, and present the open
challenges and research opportunities that can assist the research community. We
provide an overview of software-defined IoT systems, discuss their sustainability
objectives, and present techniques to achieve these objectives. As a position paper, we
focus on the opportunities and challenges rather than the results and findings.
