Abstract: 
Internet of Things (IoT) brings us to the new era of information where information can be collected and communicated among everybody and everything and anything. In this way, cyberspace, physical space and human knowledge and social activities can be synchronized to bring us an ability to monitor the real world under different facets. That will help us to discover useful knowledge from gathered information from cyber- physical-social space and turn these knowledge to wisdoms. In this presentation, we are going to discuss the platform for Cyber-Physical- Social Data Fusion that can be built on top of IoT. This platform, called Event Data Warehouse, provides functionality for collecting, integrating, analyzing and visualizing multi-sourced heterogeneous sensing data from cyber, physical social spaces.  Besides of the fundamental of this platform, we also introduce some potential applications that can take a benefit from using this platform.
