Machine Learning, which is a process to predict future patterns and incidents based on the models created out of past data, is definitely the most important part of the success of the Internet of Things in the enterprise and consumer space. The main reason is that without machine learning the entire backbone of the Internet of Things – event acquisition, event processing , event storage and event reporting – is merely a live display of events happening elsewhere and will not provide any value to its consumers. Think of a smart monitor in an oil well that monitors various climatic conditions and other factors that can cause a failure; unless the monitor is able to predict of a failure and corrects itself the usage of such solution is quite limited.

Most organizations are wondering how to utilize data science to improve decision making and business intelligence. What holds up this process is lack of data for analytics teams. To some extent this dilemma has been resolved by the Open Data initiative publishing large datasets in the cloud and making it freely available.
In their session at 17th Cloud Expo, Umesh Kanade, GM of Technology Solutions at Harbinger Systems, and Asheesh Choksi, Senior Architect at Harbinger Systems, will describe how to access, re-organize and load useful data from the Linked Open Data Cloud in your environment to enable Big Data analytics. They will also present a case study on how healthcare providers benefit by such datasets from open data cloud to make informed decisions in their practice.
