Currently, physical objects are integrated and connected in the networks to provide services for people performing the well-known Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm. IoT environments are characterized by a high degree of devices heterogeneity and network protocols, where each object may have different processing capabilities or different communication patterns, making a lack of standardization in IoT. This demands a dynamic and context-aware configuration management system. Currently, in the literature, there are no management platforms that address IoT issues, such as scalability, heterogeneity, and context-aware. For this purpose, the study elaborates on available policies and solutions for network management and devices in IoT, highlighting and discussing the features of each studied project, identifying open research issues on the topic.
