Advances on data, information, and knowledge in the internet of things

摘要

The internet of things (IoT) is a dynamic smart networked system with connected sensors, processors, and actuators that are designed to sense and interact with the physical world. Achieving the benefits of IoT requires the fusion and management of large scale heterogeneous data using knowledge-based decision systems and the integration of different technologies. Many challenges exist, including identifying things correctly and safely in IoT, modeling and integrating variety and volumes of data, acquiring knowledge automatically from the big data, and ensuring security and privacy, etc.
