BDinIoT 2015 - Special Issue Big Data in Internet of Things (BDinIoT 2015)

With the unprecedented maturity and stability of edge technologies, every commonly found, cheap and casual thing is becoming smart faster in order to join in the mainstream computing. Every device is intelligently instrumented to find, bind and collaborate with other devices in the vicinity as well as with the cloud-hosted applications and data. The Internet landscape is therefore poised to be stuffed and saturated with not only the millions of compute machines, personal and professional electronic devices and software services but also the billions of diminutive sensors, actuators, robots, etc. and the trillions of sentient or smart objects. It is an overwhelmingly accepted statement that the fast-emerging and evolving IoT idea is definitely a strategically game-changing one to be decisively realized and passionately sustained with the smart adaption and adoption of state-of-the-art technologies, composite and cognitive processes, optimized and organized infrastructures, integrated and versatile platforms, robust and resilient tools, enabling patterns, and futuristic architectures.
The brewing trends include the accumulation of disposable and disappearing digitized elements, the inherent capability of devices to interconnect with one another, the service-enablement of any hardware and networking solutions, the integration with cloud-based software applications and data, etc. All these lead to the field of big data (data volumes are getting bigger, data variety is growing with the emergence of multi-structured data, data generation, capture, processing and analytics velocity are transitioning from batch to real-time, the importance of data veracity is equally critical, etc.). Having understood the challenges ahead, researchers are working in unearthing viable mechanisms towards the simplification and streamlining of tasks such as capturing, ingesting and processing of big data to extract actionable insights in time. It is being visualized that the seamless convergence of IoT and big data computing are to result in multifaceted context-aware and intelligent applications that are more tuned to people-empowerment.
