Colloquium: Big Data meets Internet of Things, Prof. Arkady Zaslavsky (CSIRO, Australia), Thursday, November 5, 2015, 18:00-19:00 EET.
The Department of Computer Science at the University of Cyprus cordially invites you to the Colloquium entitled:
Big Data meets Internet of Things
 |
Speaker: Prof. Arkady Zaslavsky |
Abstract:
The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the major disruptive technologies and is on top of Gartner’s hype curve for 2014/2015. IoT will connect billions of "things", where things include computers, smartphones, sensors, objects from everyday life. IoT will be the main source of big data according to predictions of many experts. This talk focuses on challenges of the IoT and disruptively big data it generates. The talk will also showcase a CSIRO IoT technology which brings together sensing and cloud computing and is an efficient open platform for handling IoT data streams of high volume, velocity, value and variety. A case study built on the basis of the OpenIoT platform will also be presented.
