An AdaBoost-modified classifier using stochastic diffusion search model for data optimization in Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) depicts the network that contains the objects or the things that have been embedded along with the network connectivity, the sensors, electronics or the software that enables the objects to collect and exchange data. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) connect different sensors/things to the Internet by means of a gateway which interfaces the concept of the WSN to the Internet. They have a certain trait that collects all sensed data and duly forwards it to a gateway using a one-way protocol. Huge amount of either unstructured or semi-structured data collected by the WSN is transmitted to IoT for processing. To improve the efficacy of the storing and processing of data, it is required to classify the data. Genetic algorithm is used to find optimal solutions in IoT. Stochastic diffusion search is a heuristic algorithm which has a robust mathematical model and is distributed. This work proposed a Stochastic AdaBoost algorithm for efficient classification of data obtained from WSN and IoT network.
