Apollo 11 Command Module (1965) had 64 kilobytes of memory operated at 0.043MHz.
An iPhone 5s has a CPU running at speeds of up to 1.3GHzand has 512MB to 1GB of memory
Cray-1 (1975) produced 80 million Floating point operations per second (FLOPS)10 years later, Cray-2 produced 1.9G FLOPS
An iPhone 5s produces 76.8 GFLOPS – nearly a thousand times more
Cray-2 used 200-kilowatt power

Internet of Things (IoT)
− Extending the current Internet and providing connection, communication, and inter-networking between devices and physical objects, or "Things," is a growing trend that is often referred to as the Internet of Things.
− “The technologies and solutions that enable integration of real world data and services into the current information networking technologies are often described under the umbrella term of the Internet of Things (IoT)”

“Each single data item is important.”
“Relying merely on data from sources that are unevenly distributed, without considering background information or social context, can lead to imbalanced interpretations and decisions.”?
Data- Challenges
− Multi-modal and heterogeneous− Noisy and incomplete− Time and location dependent − Dynamic and varies in quality − Crowed sourced data can be unreliable − Requires (near-) real-time analysis− Privacy and security are important issues− Data can be biased- we need to know our data!

Data Lifecycle

“The ultimate goal is transforming the raw data to insights and actionable knowledge and/or creating effective representation forms for machines and also human users and creating automation.”
This usually requires data from multiple sources, (near-) real time analytics and visualisation and/or semantic representations.
22
“Data will come from various source and from different platforms and various systems.”
This requires an ecosystem of IoT systems with several backend support components (e.g. pub/sub, storage, discovery, and access services). Semantic interoperability is also a key requirement.
Device/Data interoperability

Search on the Internet/Web in the early days

Accessing IoT data
25
“ The internet/web norm (for now) is often to use an interface to search for the data; the search engines are usually information locators – return the link to the information; IoT data access is more opportunistic and context aware”.
The IoT requires context-aware and opportunistic push mechanism, dynamic device/resource associations and (software-defined) data routing networks.
IoT environments are usually dynamic and (near-) real-time

Applications and potentials
− Analysis of thousands of traffic, pollution, weather, congestion, public transport, waste and event sensory data to provide better transport and city management.
− Converting smart meter readings to information that can help prediction and balance of power consumption in a city.
− Monitoring elderly homes, personal and public healthcare applications.
− Event and incident analysis and prediction using (near) real-time data collected by citizen and device sensors.
− Turning social media data (e.g. Tweets) related to city issues into event and sentiment analysis.
− Any many more…

Data Analytics solutions for IoT data
− Great opportunities and many applications;− Enhanced and (near-) real-time insights;− Supporting more automated decision making and
in-depth analysis of events and occurrences by combining various sources of data;
− Providing more and better information to citizens;− …
51
However…
− We need to know our data and its context (density, quality, reliability, …)
− Open Data (there needs to be more real-time data)
− Complementary data − Citizens in control − Transparency and data management issues
(privacy, security, trust, …)− Reliability and dependability of the systems
52
In conclusion
− IoT data analytics is different from common big data analytics.
− Data collection in the IoT comes at the cost of bandwidth, network, energy and other resources.
− Data collection, delivery and processing is also depended on multiple layers of the network.
− We need more resource-aware data analytics methods and cross-layer optimisations.
− The solutions should work across different systems and multiple platforms (Ecosystem of systems).
− Data sources are more than physical (sensory) observation.− The IoT requires integration and processing of physical-cyber-
social data.− The extracted insights and information should be converted
to a feedback and/or actionable information. 53
