Data Science for IoT: The role of hardware in analytics

Often, Data Science for IoT differs from conventional data science due to the presence of hardware. Hardware could be involved in integration with the Cloud or Processing at the Edge (which Cisco and others have called Fog Computing). Hardware will increasingly play an important role in Data Science for IoT. In IoT, speed and real time response play a key role. Often it makes sense to process the data closer to the sensor.
