Analytics for the Internet of Things (IoT)

Summary

In this chapter, we defined, for the purposes of this book, what constitutes the IoT. We also defined what is meant by the term analytics when we use it here. We discussed special challenges that come with IoT data from volume of data to issues with time and space that are not normally a concern with internal company datasets. You should have a good idea of the scope of the book and the challenges that you will learn to overcome in the later chapters.
