When Things Matter: A Data-Centric View of the Internet of Things
With the recent advances in radio-frequency identification (RFID), low-cost
wireless sensor devices, and Web technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT)
approach has gained momentum in connecting everyday objects to the Internet and
facilitating machine-to-human and machine-to-machine communication with the
physical world. While IoT offers the capability to connect and integrate both
digital and physical entities, enabling a whole new class of applications and
services, several significant challenges need to be addressed before these
applications and services can be fully realized. A fundamental challenge
centers around managing IoT data, typically produced in dynamic and volatile
environments, which is not only extremely large in scale and volume, but also
noisy, and continuous. This article surveys the main techniques and
state-of-the-art research efforts in IoT from data-centric perspectives,
including data stream processing, data storage models, complex event
processing, and searching in IoT. Open research issues for IoT data management
are also discussed
CHORUS Deliverable 2.1: State of the Art on Multimedia Search Engines
Based on the information provided by European projects and national initiatives related to multimedia search as well as domains experts that participated in the CHORUS Think-thanks and workshops, this document reports on the state of the art related to multimedia content search from, a technical, and socio-economic perspective.
The technical perspective includes an up to date view on content based indexing and retrieval technologies, multimedia search in the context of mobile devices and peer-to-peer networks, and an overview of current evaluation and benchmark inititiatives to measure the performance of multimedia search engines.
From a socio-economic perspective we inventorize the impact and legal consequences of these technical advances and point out future directions of research

Determinants in the on-line distribution of digital content: an exploratory analysis
This article shows the phases â and discusses the results â of an empirical analysis addressing the legal
business models that are adopted online to distribute digital content
Creating a Relational Distributed Object Store
In and of itself, data storage has apparent business utility. But when we can
convert data to information, the utility of stored data increases dramatically.
It is the layering of relation atop the data mass that is the engine for such
conversion. Frank relation amongst discrete objects sporadically ingested is
rare, making the process of synthesizing such relation all the more
challenging, but the challenge must be met if we are ever to see an equivalent
business value for unstructured data as we already have with structured data.
This paper describes a novel construct, referred to as a relational distributed
object store (RDOS), that seeks to solve the twin problems of how to
persistently and reliably store petabytes of unstructured data while
simultaneously creating and persisting relations amongst billions of objects.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figure
