IoT-SVKSearch: a real-time multimodal search engine mechanism for the internet of things

Recent advances on the Internet of Things IoT have posed great challenges to the search engine community. IoT systems manage huge numbers of heterogeneous sensors and/or monitoring devices, which continuously monitor the states of real-world objects, and most data are generated automatically through sampling. The sampling data are dynamically changing so that the IoT search engine should support real-time retrieval. Additionally, the IoT search involves not only keyword matches but also spatial-temporal searches and value-based approximate searches, as IoT sampling data are generally from spatial-temporal scenario. To meet these challenges, we propose a 'Hybrid Real-time Search Engine Framework for the Internet of Things based on Spatial-Temporal, Value-based, and Keyword-based Conditions' 'IoT-SVK Search Engine' or simply 'IoT-SVKSearch' for short in this paper. The experiments show that the IoT-SVK search engine has satisfactory performances in supporting real-time, multi-modal retrieval of massive sensor sampling data in the IoT.
