Abstract

Over the last few years, a large number of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions have come to the IoT marketplace. Typically, each of these IoT solutions are designed to perform a single or minimal number of tasks (primary usage). We believe a significant amount of knowledge and insights are hidden in these data silos that can be used to improve our lives; such data include our behaviors, habits, preferences, life patterns, and resource consumption. To discover such knowledge, we need to acquire and analyze this data together in a large scale. To discover useful information and deriving conclusions toward supporting efficient and effective decision making, industrial IoT platform needs to support variety of different data analytics processes such as inspecting, cleaning, transforming, and modeling data, especially in big data context. IoT middleware platforms have been developed in both academic and industrial settings in order to facilitate IoT data management tasks including data analytics. However, engineering these general-purpose industrial-grade big data analytics platforms need to address many challenges. We have accepted six manuscripts out of 24 submissions for this special section (25% acceptance rate) after the strict peer-review processes. Each manuscript has been blindly reviewed by at least three external reviewers before the decisions were made. The papers are briefly summarized.
