Data Reduction Model for Balancing Indexing and Securing Resources in the Internet-of-Things Applications

Evolution of the Internet of Things (IoT) makes a revolution in connecting, monitoring, controlling, and managing things, objects, and almost surroundings through the Internet. To reveal the potential of IoT, rich knowledge has to be extracted, indexed, and shared securely in real time. Recent comprehensive researches on IoT spot the light on main correlative challenges, such as security, scalability, heterogeneity, and big data. Due to the heterogeneity of IoT applications that produce a large volume of a variety of data streams in real time, mining, securing, and analyzing IoT data become tedious and challenging tasks. Indexing sensory data is one of data mining techniques, which ease information retrieval. But ordinary indexing methods are not fit with such massive and dynamic data; where indexes become out-of-date once they are built. Clustering, data reduction, and summarization present promising solutions for enabling low-power security and balanced indexing. This article presents a novel method for dynamic data reduction and summarization using dynamic time warping (DTW), which also presents a balanced architecture for enabling balanced indexing based on similarity data fusion. Data reduction-based prediction models enable real-time search and secure discovery for Smart Things (SThs). The results of the proposed model were proved using real examples and data sets. Using the

data set similar SThs data is reduced by 95%. Thus, indexes sizes could be reduced, and using smart scheduling, crawling cycle length could be expanded.
