Special session
IoT Stream Processing and Analytics

Scope
As a result of the expected proliferation of millions of intelligent devices in the Internet of Things (IoT), the volume of data is envisioned to be rapidly increasing at rates never seen before. This data comes mostly in the form of streams. Therefore, new real time mechanisms and techniques are required to handle these streams of data. Real-time stream processing must deal with data collection, storage, processing, and analysis of hundreds of millions of events per hour. Learning from this ever-growing amount of data requires developing flexible learning models able to self-adapt over time.
Extensive research is being carried out on enabling digital technologies including network and cloud infrastructures, sensing technologies and Internet of things (IoT), data integration, and big data analytics. In particular, integrative solutions and advanced computing techniques can facilitate creating novel applications and value-added services.
This special session welcomes novel research about IoT data streams processing, platforms and architectures, applications and services, and learning from IoT data streams in evolving environments. It will provide the researchers and participants with a forum for exchanging ideas, presenting recent advances and discussing challenges related to IoT data streams processing.

Topics
Themes of this special session include but are not limited to:
* IoT stream processing architectures and frameworks
* IoT data streams aggregation
* IoT data streams federation
* IoT data streams semantic integration
* Cloud computing and network infrastructures to support IoT streams processing
* Advanced communication systems and approaches for IoT streams
* Application, deployment, test-bed, and experiences in IoT streams processing
* Data privacy and security issues in IoT streams processing
* IoT data streams applications in:
