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
Towards In-Transit Analytics for Industry 4.0
Industry 4.0, or Digital Manufacturing, is a vision of inter-connected
services to facilitate innovation in the manufacturing sector. A fundamental
requirement of innovation is the ability to be able to visualise manufacturing
data, in order to discover new insight for increased competitive advantage.
This article describes the enabling technologies that facilitate In-Transit
Analytics, which is a necessary precursor for Industrial Internet of Things
(IIoT) visualisation.Comment: 8 pages, 10th IEEE International Conference on Internet of Things

Exploring sensor data management
The increasing availability of cheap, small, low-power sensor hardware and the ubiquity of wired and wireless networks has led to the prediction that `smart evironments' will emerge in the near future. The sensors in these environments collect detailed information about the situation people are in, which is used to enhance information-processing applications that are present on their mobile and `ambient' devices.\ud

Bridging the gap between sensor data and application information poses new requirements to data management. This report discusses what these requirements are and documents ongoing research that explores ways of thinking about data management suited to these new requirements: a more sophisticated control flow model, data models that incorporate time, and ways to deal with the uncertainty in sensor data
Outlier Detection Techniques For Wireless Sensor Networks: A Survey
In the field of wireless sensor networks, measurements that
significantly deviate from the normal pattern of sensed data are
considered as outliers. The potential sources of outliers include
noise and errors, events, and malicious attacks on the network.
Traditional outlier detection techniques are not directly
applicable to wireless sensor networks due to the multivariate
nature of sensor data and specific requirements and limitations of
the wireless sensor networks. This survey provides a comprehensive
overview of existing outlier detection techniques specifically
developed for the wireless sensor networks. Additionally, it
presents a technique-based taxonomy and a decision tree to be used
as a guideline to select a technique suitable for the application
at hand based on characteristics such as data type, outlier type,
outlier degree
