An Autonomic Approach to Real-Time Predictive Analytics Using Open Data and Internet of Things

Public datasets are becoming more and more available for organizations. Both public and private data can be used to drive innovations and new solutions to various problems. The Internet of Things (IoT) and Open Data are particularly promising in real time predictive data analytics for effective decision support. The main challenge in this context is the dynamic selection of open data and IoT sources to support predictive analytics. This issue is widely discussed in various domains including economics, market analysis, energy usage, etc. Our case study is the prediction of energy usage of a building using open data and IoT. We propose a two-step solution: (1) data management: collection, filtering and warehousing and (2) data analytics: source selection and prediction. This work has been evaluated in real settings using IoT sensors and open weather data.
