Role of Big Data Analytics and Edge Computing in Modern IoT Applications: A Systematic Literature Review

Abstract

the internet of things has spread to every personal and commercial domain. The devices ranging from health monitoring band to heavy electrical and mechanical machinery monitoring nodes are generating data at volumes that is exploding at exponential rate. The data is not only increasing in volume but the velocity of the data generation has also increased. The high volume and velocity along with variety is becoming a bigger challenge every day. The industry and academia have come up with standards like IIoT 4.0 and new computational models like edge and fog are introduced. A systematic literature review is conducted to explore the current solutions and challenges in this domain. Different research questions are asked before the review to look for specific answers. The results highlights different challenges, future directions, suggestions and answers to the research questions initially asked.
