Abstract—It sounds like mission impossible to connect everything
on the earth together via internet, but Internet of Things
(IoT) will dramatically change our life in the foreseeable future,
by making many “impossibles” possible. To many, the massive
data generated or captured by IoT are considered having highly
useful and valuable information. Data mining will no doubt play
a critical role in making this kind of system smart enough to
provide more convenient services and environments. This paper
begins with a discussion of the IoT. Then, a brief review of the
features of “data from IoT” and “data mining for IoT’ is given.
Finally, changes, potentials, open issues, and future trends of this
field are addressed.
