Abstract
Advances in sensor data collection technology, such as pervasive and
embedded devices, and RFID Technology have lead to a large number
of
smart devices
which are connected to the net and continuously trans-
mit their data over time. It has been estimated that the number of
internet connected devices has overtaken the number of humans on the
planet, since 2008. The collection and processing of such data leads
to unprecedented challenges in mining and processing such data. Such
data needs to be processed in real-time and the processing may be highly
distributed in nature. Even in cases, where the data is stored oine,
the size of the data is often so large and distributed, that it requires the
use of
big data analytical tools
for processing. In addition, such data
is often sensitive, and brings a number of privacy challenges associated
