This archive contains the files submitted to the 4th International Workshop on Data: Acquisition To Analysis (DATA) at SenSys. Files provided in this package are associated with the paper titled "Dataset: Analysis of IFTTT Recipes to Study How Humans Use Internet-of-Things (IoT) Devices"

With the rapid development and usage of Internet-of-Things (IoT) and smart-home devices, researchers continue efforts to improve the ''smartness'' of those devices to address daily needs in people's lives. Such efforts usually begin with understanding evolving user behaviors on how humans utilize the devices and what they expect in terms of their behavior. However, while research efforts abound, there is a very limited number of datasets that researchers can use to both understand how people use IoT devices and to evaluate algorithms or systems for smart spaces. In this paper, we collect and characterize more than 50,000 recipes from the online If-This-Then-That (IFTTT) service to understand a seemingly straightforward but complicated question: ''What kinds of behaviors do humans expect from their IoT devices?'' The dataset we collected contains the basic information of the IFTTT rules, trigger and action event, and how many people are using each rule.

Context

The newspaper publications on the Internet increases every day. There are many news agencies, newspapers and magazines with digital publications on the big network. Published documents made available to users who, in turn, use search engines to find them. To deliver the closest searched documents, these documents must be previously indexed and classified. With the huge volume of documents published every day, many researches have been carried out in order to find a way of dealing with the automatic document classification.

Content

The "Tribuna" database is of journalistic origin with its digital publication, a factor that may be important for professionals of the area, also serving to understand other similar datasets. In order to carry out the experiment, we adopted the "A Tribuna" database, whose main characteristics presented previously, show that the collection is a good source of research, since it is already classified by specialists and has 21 classes that can be Displayed in the table below.
