The increasing diffusion of Smart Environments enabled by the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has evidenced the limitations of traditional Internet Protocol (IP), thus pushing for a paradigm shift from host-centric to Information-Centric Networking (ICN). The Named Data Networking (NDN) is a particular ICN implementation that prospects more efficient and effective communication and service provision, reason why it is widely considered as an enabler towards Future Internet. Driven by the PRISMA methodology, in this work we systematically survey the current literature and analyze opportunities and limitations of NDN adoption within Smart Environments, targeted application areas, adopted technologies and research gaps. In particular, by means of a research framework, we highlight how, by shifting from the traditional IP-based to NDN, Smart Environments can benefit from unseen degrees of mobility, scalability, security and performance, paving the way to innovative and cutting-edge cyberphysical services.
