Discussion
Data explosionWhat data is actually useful for end users?
• Transactional vs aggregated data• Tolerance thresholds for alerts• Learning from false positives and false negatives
Where does data processing occur (e.g. gateway vs cloud)?• Complexity of analysis• How transient is the data (e.g. one day vs one month)?
IoT trade-offs Business Requirements – e.g. what data matters, what
frequency?Cost – e.g. API calls, bandwidth, storageSpeed – e.g. how “real-time” must the data be?Scalability – related to data explosion considerations
