Big Data Sensing and Service: A Tutorial

Abstract

As the advance of the Internet of Things (IoT), more M2M sensors and devices are connected to the Internet. These sensors and devices generate sensor-based big data and bring new business opportunities and demands for creating and developing sensor-oriented big data infrastructures, platforms and analytics service applications. Big data sensing is becoming a new concept and next technology trend based on a connected sensor world because of IoT. It brings a strong impact on many sensor-oriented applications, including smart city, disaster control and monitor, healthcare services, and environment protection and climate change study. This paper is written as a tutorial paper by providing the informative concepts and taxonomy on big data sensing and services. The paper not only discusses the motivation, research scope, and features of big data sensing and services, but also exams the required services in big data sensing based on the state-of-the-art research work. Moreover, the paper discusses big data sensing challenges, issues, and needs.

Internet of Everything (IoE) Taxonomies: A Survey and a Novel Knowledge-Based Taxonomy

“…The authors in [ 73 ] surveyed the domain of big data by examining the different techniques utilized for processing and analytics. Another taxonomy on big data sensing and services was presented by Gao et al [ 74 ]. The latest developments in the big data sensing field applied to context-aware big data systems were discussed by Subbu and Vasilakos [ 75 ], who proposed a taxonomy of recent works based on sensing platforms.…”

“…Examples of unstructured data are videos, text, time information, and geographic location [ 40 ]. With the amount of data generated by sensors, devices constantly produce large volumes of structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data, which results in ”big data” [ 73 , 74 ].…”

Developing an On-Demand Cloud-Based Sensing-as-a-Service System for Internet of Things

“…The emergence of a plethora of applications for sensor networks is accompanied by several challenges and problems in the management of these networks. The IoT gateway acts as a bridge between WSNs with traditional communication networks or Internet, and it plays an important role in IoT applications; thus, it facilitates the seamless integration of WSNs and mobile communication networks or Internet and the management and control with WSNs [21,22]. Some of the problems and challenges that arise are the standardization of governance and management models [3,11,18], complexity arising from heterogeneity [3,21], virtualization, and monitoring [11].…”

What is the Source of Smart City Value?

“…On the other hand, the IoT offers great potential for innovation business models, since it interconnects product stream with information stream (Bucherer and Uckelmann, 2011;Gao et al, 2015). Corresponding business models capitalize the seventh information laws, regarding its share-ability; perish-ability; value increment with accuracy, combination and use; more does not mean better; and non depletability.…”
