Big Data and the Internet of Things

Advances in sensing and computing capabilities are making it possible to embed increasing computing power in small devices. This has enabled the sensing devices not just to passively capture data at very high resolution but also to take sophisticated actions in response. Combined with advances in communication, this is resulting in an ecosystem of highly interconnected devices referred to as the Internet of Things - IoT. In conjunction, the advances in machine learning have allowed building models on this ever increasing amounts of data. Consequently, devices all the way from heavy assets such as aircraft engines to wearables such as health monitors can all now not only generate massive amounts of data but can draw back on aggregate analytics to "improve" their performance over time. Big data analytics has been identified as a key enabler for the IoT. In this chapter, we discuss various avenues of the IoT where big data analytics either is already making a significant impact or is on the cusp of doing so. We also discuss social implications and areas of concern.Comment: 33 pages. draft of upcoming book chapter in Japkowicz and Stefanowski (eds.)

Towards Smart Healthcare: Challenges and Opportunities in IoT and ML

The COVID-19 pandemic and other ongoing health crises have underscored the need for prompt healthcare services worldwide. The traditional healthcare system, centered around hospitals and clinics, has proven inadequate in the face of such challenges. Intelligent wearable devices, a key part of modern healthcare, leverage Internet of Things technology to collect extensive data related to the environment as well as psychological, behavioral, and physical health. However, managing the substantial data generated by these wearables and other IoT devices in healthcare poses a significant challenge, potentially impeding decision-making processes. Recent interest has grown in applying data analytics for extracting information, gaining insights, and making predictions. Additionally, machine learning, known for addressing various big data and networking challenges, has seen increased implementation to enhance IoT systems in healthcare. This chapter focuses exclusively on exploring the hurdles encountered when integrating ML methods into the IoT healthcare sector. It offers a comprehensive summary of current research challenges and potential opportunities, categorized into three scenarios: IoT-based, ML-based, and the implementation of machine learning methodologies in the IoT-based healthcare industry. This compilation will assist future researchers, healthcare professionals, and government agencies by offering valuable insights into recent smart healthcare advancements.Comment: 32 pages, 3 tables, 2 figures, chapter 10 revised version of "IoT and ML for Information Management: A Smart Healthcare Perspective" under "Springer Studies in Computational Challenge" serie

Security of Big Data over IoT Environment by Integration of Deep Learning and Optimization

This is especially true given the spread of IoT, which makes it possible for two-way communication between various electronic devices and is therefore essential to contemporary living. However, it has been shown that IoT may be readily exploited. There is a need to develop new technology or combine existing ones to address these security issues. DL, a kind of ML, has been used in earlier studies to discover security breaches with good results. IoT device data is abundant, diverse, and trustworthy. Thus, improved performance and data management are attainable with help of big data technology. The current state of IoT security, big data, and deep learning led to an all-encompassing study of the topic. This study examines the interrelationships of big data, IoT security, and DL technologies, and draws parallels between these three areas. Technical works in all three fields have been compared, allowing for the development of a thematic taxonomy. Finally, we have laid the groundwork for further investigation into IoT security concerns by identifying and assessing the obstacles inherent in using DL for security utilizing big data. The security of large data has been taken into consideration in this article by categorizing various dangers using a deep learning method. The purpose of optimization is to raise both accuracy and performance

The role of big data analytics in industrial Internet of Things

Big data production in industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is evident due to the massive deployment of sensors and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. However, big data processing is challenging due to limited computational, networking and storage resources at IoT device-end. Big data analytics (BDA) is expected to provide operational- and customer-level intelligence in IIoT systems. Although numerous studies on IIoT and BDA exist, only a few studies have explored the convergence of the two paradigms. In this study, we investigate the recent BDA technologies, algorithms and techniques that can lead to the development of intelligent IIoT systems. We devise a taxonomy by classifying and categorising the literature on the basis of important parameters (e.g. data sources, analytics tools, analytics techniques, requirements, industrial analytics applications and analytics types). We present the frameworks and case studies of the various enterprises that have benefited from BDA. We also enumerate the considerable opportunities introduced by BDA in IIoT.We identify and discuss the indispensable challenges that remain to be addressed as future research directions as well
