Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the most-hyped emerging areas of technology in recent times. With things communicating with each other over the internet, it is only natural to expect that the volumes of the data collected and transmitted will become massive. Therefore, analysing such explosive amounts of data in near real-time, to generate actionable information out of these, is an imperative. Complex Event Processing (CEP) refers to the technology that enables near real-time processing of such data streams, without having the need to store and retrieve them from databases. Microsoft StreamInsight is a product that enables Complex Event Processing. In this paper, we talk about how Microsoft StreamInsight can be used to quickly develop a flexible high performance CEP solution. We have given an overview of “IStreamAnalyticsâ€, a platform that we have built using StreamInsight. Further, the performance of StreamInsight as a CEP solution is evaluated through a series of experiments.
