For the Internet of Things (IoT), tens of billions of nodes are expected to go into operation over the next few years. One of the major uses of this technology will be the monitoring of different key environmental parameters. Finding an efficient way to carry out in-depth analysis on the vast quantities of data continuously being acquired and initiating an appropriate reaction is not that simple. To maximize efficiency and keep response times as short as possible, it will be necessary to put an automated decision-making process in place.
