The 2^nd International Workshop on Data Science for Internet of Thinkgs will take place in Orlando, USA, on October 22^nd. Check all details on content and paper submission at https://ds-iot.org . The workshop is sponsored by Semantix and the María de Maeztu Strategic Research Program, in the context of the project Wireless Networking through Learning: Searching for Optimality in Highly-dynamic and Decentralized scenarios (Boris Bellalta, Wireless Networking Research Group & Anders Jonsson, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Research Group). You can learn about the 1st edition in 2016 here.

Selected information:

Data science is an interdisciplinary field that involves techniques to acquire, store, analyze, manage and publish data. For example, data can be analyzed using machine learning, data analysis and statistics, optimizing processes and maximizing their power in larger scenarios.

In the Internet of Things (IoT), smartphones and household appliances can easily become sensor nodes and compose sensor networks, measuring environmental parameters and generating user interaction data. As sensor networks are mainly data-oriented networks, i.e., sensed data is their most valuable asset and the reason for the operation of the whole network, data science techniques have been adopted to improve the IoT in terms of data throughput, self-optimization and self-management. In fact, incorporating the lifecycle proposed by the data scientists will impact the future of the IoT, allowing researchers to reproduce scenarios, and optimize the acquisition, analysis and visualization of the data acquired by IoT devices.

This workshop will address techniques used for data management planning into IoT scenarios in order to optimize data acquisition, management and later discovery.
