  • industrial analytics, such as for evaluating the condition of operating equipment in a military or industrial application or utility (vs. analytics for predicting buying patterns for retail or online commerce)
  • sensor networks, such as are used to instrument critical operating equipment and gather data for use in industrial analytics
