An Approach for CEP Query Shipping to Support Distributed IoT Environments

In recent years, the amount of data has significantly increased. Deriving information and, consequently, knowledge from this data leads to huge benefits. To realize this, oftentimes Complex Event Processing is employed. Usually, current solutions process data on monolithic IT infrastructures. However, for the emerging Internet of Things paradigm, this is not adequate, because high efficiency is of vital importance. To achieve this, distributed data processing with short communication paths and reduced network traffic need to be enabled. In this paper, we introduce an approach for CEP query shipping to support distributed Internet of Things environments.
