TRANSMITTING PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS OF SENSOR DATA THAT ARE RESPONSIVE TO A CONTINUOUS QUERY

A computer program product include non-transitory computer readable storage media having program instructions embodied therewith. The program instructions are executable by a processor to receive a continuous query for a user application and receive unfiltered sensor data transmitted over a network from a local compute node that is operatively coupled to a plurality of sensors, wherein the sensor data includes data obtained from the plurality of sensors. The program instructions are further executable by the processor to identify one or more principal components of the sensor data that are responsive to the continuous query, instruct the local compute node to continue transmitting only the sensor data that has been identified as the one or more principal components, and provide the user application with the sensor data that has been identified as the one or more principal components.
