Process mining has developed advanced approaches for the analysis of business processes that may also be used in the context of IoT. Bringing process mining to IoT requires an event abstraction step to lift the low-level sensor data to the business process level. In this work, we aim to enable domain experts to perform this step using a newly developed domain-specific language (DSL) called Radiant. Radiant supports the specification of patterns within the sensor data that indicate the execution of higher level process activities. These patterns are translated to complex event processing (CEP) applications to be used for detecting activity executions at runtime. We propose a corresponding software architecture that enables online event abstraction from IoT sensor streams using the CEP applications. We evaluate these applications to monitor activity executions in smart manufacturing and smart healthcare. These evaluations are useful to inform the domain expert about the quality of activity detections based on the specified patterns and potential for improvement via additional or modified patterns and sensors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":29968,"journal":{"name":"Internet of Things","volume":"36 ","pages":"Article 101870"},"PeriodicalIF":7.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145926731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, several issues remain unsolved: on the one hand, frameworks should not only provide the means for data correlation and contextualisation, but also for the definition of customisable real-time actions based on the context. On the other hand, CEP patterns update remains static in these frameworks, while there is a need for dynamically updating CEP pattern logic to adapt to changing contexts in real time. Even more, CEP patterns logic understanding might also be a handicap for developers. To face these challenges, in this paper, we enhance an existent CEP-based framework and software architecture by incorporating Business Process Modelling (BPM) to facilitate the definition of CEP patterns rationale, manage interdependencies between patterns, define and handle contextualised user actions, and enable real-time updating of CEP pattern logic based on detected situations.

In this paper, we focus on detecting malicious activities in IoT networks by solving a node-classification problem in a graph-based network representation. We evaluate six Graph Neural Network methods, encompassing both static and time-dependent models, using two distinct graph representations of network traffic. Our analysis is conducted across three recent IoT traffic datasets, and considers multiple snapshot durations to understand how temporal granularity affects detection accuracy. Through extensive experiments, we assess the impact of graph structure, snapshot duration, and temporal modeling on detection performance. Results show that GNNs, especially static models, are effective at identifying anomalous nodes even in unseen environments. We find that shorter snapshot durations consistently improve model accuracy by reducing noise in node embeddings, and that simpler traffic representation often match or outperform more complex counterparts, particularly when computational efficiency is a concern. Additionally, further research is needed to draw firm conclusions about dynamic methods.

If there is a requirement from users in rural scenarios to achieve higher throughput (for instance, users seeking IoT services with stringent Quality-of-Service requirements), deploying multiple UAVs in the same area could be an effective strategy. However, this approach would also result in increased energy consumption. This paper addresses the challenge of maximizing the throughput offered in rural areas for users accessing microservice-based IoT applications, while also minimizing the energy consumption of UAV swarms. To achieve this, an optimal solution is proposed through a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) model, which is evaluated within realistic environments.
