Data partitioning in internet-of-things (IOT) network

摘要

A method for data partitioning in an intemet-of-things (IoT) network (100) is described. The method includes determining number of computing nodes (106) in the IoT network (100) capable of contributing in processing of a data set (136). At least one capacity parameter associated with each computing node (106) in the IoT network (100) and each communication link (108) between a computing node (106) and a data analytics system (102) can be ascertained. The capacity parameter can indicate a computational capacity for each computing node (106) and communication capacity for each communication link (108). An availability status, indicating temporal availability, of each of computing nodes (106) and each communication link (108) is determined. The data set (136) is partitioned into subsets, based on the number of computing nodes (106), the capacity parameter and the availability status, for parallel processing of the subsets.
