Sensor-data analytics in cyber physical systems from Husserl to data mining

Abstract

This position paper proposes a discussion of the need for a solid philosophical basis for mining sensor-data based on phenomenology. Additionally it is proposed that, when considering cyber physical systems, the solution of inverse problems is a prerequisite if the results are to have physical meaning. A prototype lexical analysis tool for sensor-data is presented and its application to knowledge discovery in large mechatronic systems is demonstrated.
