IoTViz: Visualizing emerging topics in the internet of things

The "Internet of Things" is changing the way companies operate and consumers behave. Therefore, it is essential to capture trends in "Internet of Things". This paper proposes IoTViz, a visual analytics tool for analyzing "Internet of Things" news on social media. The principal aim of IoTViz is to observe the dynamic behavior of topics along with their proximity to other dimensions such as user comments and ratings in multiple coordinated views. IoTViz provides an interactive exploration of the IoT topics and supports of a range of interactive features, such as linking and filtering, allowing users to narrow down events of interest quickly. It is interesting to filter and visualize IoT news regarding the individual organization, e.g., user opinions/ratings regarding a company or its products.
