What is Cloud Computing for Big Data in IoT?
Cloud Computing for Big Data in IoT integrates cloud infrastructures with IoT networks to process and analyze massive sensor-generated datasets in real-time.
This subtopic focuses on hybrid architectures combining fog computing, cloud storage, and analytics for IoT data streams (Liu et al., 2019; Wu et al., 2018). Over 20 papers from 2012-2023 address scalability in agriculture, mining, and energy sectors, with Liu et al. (2019) garnering 161 citations. Key applications include eco-agriculture monitoring and coal mine safety platforms.
Why It Matters
Cloud-IoT systems enable real-time analytics on petabyte-scale data from sensors, improving agricultural yield prediction (Liu et al., 2019; Sun, 2013). In safety-critical domains, they support fault detection in wind turbines and sensor diagnostics (de Sousa et al., 2019; Zou et al., 2023). These frameworks drive smart agriculture and industrial IoT by reducing latency and enhancing decision-making from big data.
Key Research Challenges
Scalability for IoT Data Volumes
IoT devices generate terabytes of heterogeneous data daily, overwhelming traditional cloud storage (Liu et al., 2019). Hybrid fog-cloud models address this but face bandwidth constraints (Wu et al., 2018). Research lacks standardized frameworks for dynamic scaling.
Real-Time Processing Latency
Edge-to-cloud data transfer introduces delays critical for applications like mine safety monitoring (Wu et al., 2018). Fog computing mitigates this, yet integration with big data analytics remains inefficient (de Sousa et al., 2019). Optimization algorithms are needed for low-latency pipelines.
Sensor Data Reliability
Faulty IoT sensors produce noisy big data, impacting cloud-based diagnostics (Zou et al., 2023). Agricultural IoT systems require robust fault detection before cloud processing (Zhang et al., 2023). Machine learning models for anomaly detection show promise but need validation.
