Analyzing IoT data is an important challenge in the smart cities domain due to the complexity of network traffic generated by a large number of interconnected devices: smart cameras, light bulbs, motion sensors, voice assistants, and so on. To overcome this issue, a multi-agent system is proposed to deal with all machine learning steps, from preprocessing and labeling data to discovering the most suitable model for the analyzed dataset. This paper shows that dividing the work into different tasks, managed by specialized agents, and evaluating the discovered models by an Expert System Agent leads to better results in the learning process.
