Internet of Things and Big Data Analytics Toward Next-Generation Intelligence

This book highlights state-of-the-art research on big data and the Internet of Things (IoT), along with related areas to ensure efficient and Internet-compatible IoT systems. It not only discusses big data security and privacy challenges, but also energy-efficient approaches to improving virtual machine placement in cloud computing environments.

Big data and the Internet of Things (IoT) are ultimately two sides of the same coin, yet extracting, analyzing and managing IoT data poses a serious challenge. Accordingly, proper analytics infrastructures/platforms should be used to analyze IoT data. Information technology (IT) allows people to upload, retrieve, store and collect information, which ultimately forms big data. The use of big data analytics has grown tremendously in just the past few years. At the same time, the IoT has entered the public consciousness, sparking people's imaginations as to what a fully connected world can offer.

Further, the book discusses the analysis of real-time big data to derive actionable intelligence in enterprise applications in several domains, such as in industry and agriculture. It explores possible automated solutions in daily life, including structures for smart cities and automated home systems based on IoT technology, as well as health care systems that manage large amounts of data (big data) to improve clinical decisions.

The book addresses the security and privacy of the IoT and big data technologies, while also revealing the impact of IoT technologies on several scenarios in smart cities design. Intended as a comprehensive introduction, it offers in-depth analysis and provides scientists, engineers and professionals the latest techniques, frameworks and strategies used in IoT and big data technologies.

Aceasta carte evidentiaza cercetarile de ultima generatie privind datele mari si Internetul obiectelor (IoT), impreuna cu domeniile conexe pentru a asigura sisteme IoT eficiente si compatibile cu Internetul. Nu numai ca discuta provocarile privind securitatea datelor mari si confidentialitatea, ci si abordarile eficiente din punct de vedere energetic pentru imbunatatirea plasarii masinilor virtuale in mediile de cloud computing. Datele mari si Internetul obiectelor (IoT) sunt in cele din urma doua fete ale aceleiasi monede, dar extrag, analizand iar gestionarea datelor IoT reprezinta o provocare serioasa.
