Big Sensed Data challenges in the IoT: Standards and Leading Architectures
IEEE GLOBECOM 2017  4-8 December 2017 // Singapore
In it's 2017 version, this tutorial will emphasize recent developments in IoT standards and Architectures, with a specific focus on how Big Sensed Data (BSD) is being managed across IoT planes. 

The past two years has seen significant activity in industry-led standardization activities (such as OIC, AllSeen and Thread) in addition to the IEEE P2413 standard development. There is a growing need to understand the depth and breadth of proposed architectures, standards (across networking layers), Operating Systems and development frameworks that are available to researchers and developers alike. This will be a core take away from this tutorial.
​
Moreover, several elements motivate the discussion on future directions in BSD that will leap through current bottlenecks. Specifically, the underestimation of the Big Data problem with massive sensing, the lack of cooperation between sensing architectures, and the prevalence of dedicated and “architecturally disposable” sensing nodes. More importantly, the next frontier in IoT research is coupled with sense-making processes and Information services. As researchers investigate newer directions to realize a more ubiquitous presence for IoT, and more importantly building on current literature on network survivability, longevity and scalable operation. This tutorial will survey prominent research endeavours that yield the greatest promise in IoT proliferation. We see it prudent to instigate a discussion on the importance of transcending sheer vehicular communication, building novel paradigms for ubiquitous resource synergy, and deriving future systems which capitalize on inherent heterogeneity.

Big Sensed Data - Ushering in a new era of Heterogeneous data sources

1/1/2016

 
The Internet of Things (IoT) is proliferating on reliable and scalable communication architectures. Meanwhile, in addition to IoT-based sensing, the growing deployment of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), sensing over smart devices and wired sensors, are all generating an exponentially increasing amount of data.

The ensuing advent of Big Sensed Data (BSD) is generating critical challenges on multiple fronts. First, collected data is mainly insightful to each deployed network, any “sense-making” processes to be built upon heterogeneously collected data faces significant interoperability problems, exposing challenges with varying quality, data-labelling inconsistencies, inaccuracies, time-sensitivities and different reporting granularities. Second, sensing systems inherently adopt a collect-and-report model, whereby collected data is indiscriminately pushed onto the networking infrastructure, regardless of the Quality of Information (QoI) or its value (VoI).

Not only do we face scalability issues, but establishing reliable Information Services on top of BSD is not attainable over inconsistently collected, validated and reported data. Thus, the future of Big Data is hampered by the sheer volume of reported data, its uncalibrated discrepancies, and worse by the flood of redundant and lower quality data. Real-time decision making is inherently built on the efficacy of ubiquitous sensing systems, not on the aggregation of devices that are isolated in operation and management.

In a time when important IoT applications such as health Informatics and emergency services require rapid and scalable access to contextual information about patients, mobile crowds and the general public, the status quo falls significantly short.
