DML stands for "Dynamical Machine Learning" (more in the book, "SYSTEMS Analytics for IoT Data Science", 2017). This match is not surprising once you realize that DML & IoT are both based on the venerable Systems Theory. Let us dig deeper . . . Consider IoT for industrial applications. A machine is instrumented with sensors, data are collected in real-time (or at intervals), communicated to the cloud where IoT Data Science techniques predict machine condition which results in an action, if necessary, such as repair action on the machine.

Internet of Things (IoT) has generated a ton of excitement and furious activity. However, I sense some discomfort and even dread in the IoT ecosystem about the future – typical when a field is not growing at a hockey-stick pace . . . "History may not repeat itself but it rhymes", Mark Twain may have said. What history does IoT rhyme with? I have often used this diagram to crisply define IoT.
