Conclusion
In this paper, we have conducted an extensive survey on the papers bridging the IoT and Big Data communities. Based on the review of IoT papers, we have selected a set of typical IoT domains and described the features in each domain. By reviewing the Big Data papers, we have derived four important aspects from the Big Data process analysis. After specifying the IoT domains and important Big Data aspects, we have focused on the literature review across the IoT and Big Data research. The related papers have been classified based on the IoT domain that the paper belongs to, which Big Data techniques are used in this IoT domain and how Big Data techniques are applied in certain IoT domain. Furthermore, we have extracted, summarized and organized the keywords from reviewed papers to indicate which Big Data elements are used in each IoT domain. As such, we are able to conclude mutual understandings and interpretations across IoT domains in terms of Big Data, whereby suggest which state-of-theart Big Data technologies can be possibly used for which IoT domain, as well as outline the Big Data research opportunities in different IoT domains. We have further analyzed the Big Data research across IoT domains, for example, the pros and cons of Big Data technologies and their applications in certain IoT domain. Based on these results, we have proposed a conceptual framework to guide researchers and practitioners to select the Big Data technologies that are prevalently used in certain IoT domain. This also provides practical implications on how we can possibly improve or complement certain IoT domain by using the widely accepted Big Data technologies from other domains.
