Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is defined as a 'global infrastructure for the information society, enabling advanced services by interconnecting (physical and virtual) things based on existing and evolving interoperable information and communication technologies [1].' This network of heterogeneous devices that are connected can interact and share data as well as aid in decision making. Abductive causal reasoning (ACR) offers a new perspective to learn from data with the capability to support decisions by explaining the context or environment in which the choices are made. In this paper, we propose to use ACR in an IoT environment to infer sensible hypotheses from IoT data and explain how decisions can be made or improved. Examples are given to illustrate how ACR can support decisions from the available data.
