CSA: Streaming Engine for Internet of Things

The next generation Internet will contain a multitude of geographically distributed, connected devices continuously generating data streams, and will require new data processing architectures that can handle the challenges of heterogeneity, distribution, latency and bandwidth. Stream query processing is natural technology for use in IOT applications, and embedding such processing in the network enables processing to be placed closer to the sources of data in widely distributed environments. We propose such a distributed architecture for Internet of Things (IoT) applications based on Cisco’s Connected Streaming Analytics platform (CSA). In this paper describe this architecture and explain in detail how the capabilities built in the platform address real world IoT analytics challenges.
