This is the case when geo-referencing is done by user IP addresses or from a mobile phone cell ID in various location-based service applications. One problem of interest in this case is spatial modelling of various spatially continuous quantities, such as an intensity of the usage of particular service in the area. This paper investigates a machine learning framework that account for area-to-point data processing. The approach is based on so-called vicinal risk minimization principle. It is elaborated in detail for a class of kernel recursive algorithms developed for distributed processing of streaming data. Concrete examples of kernel computations are provided and the method performance is investigated experimentally.","PeriodicalId":190366,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop on GeoStreaming","volume":"242 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121332084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, this paper uses the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) GeoSPARQL recommendation and a time-annotated RDF streaming data management service. The toolkit offers geostreaming data management, fetching, and RESTful web services. We demonstrate SGST with two real-world use cases including USGS earthquake GeoRSS feeds and geo-referenced Twitter feeds for citizen sensing.

Current exponential growth in data generation and querying rates for these data highlights the importance of efficient techniques for streaming. Traditional database technology, which operates on persistent and less dynamic data objects does not meet the requirements for efficient geospatial data streaming. Geostreaming, the intersection of data stream processing and geospatial querying, is an ongoing research focus in this area. In this paper, we describe why cloud is the most appropriate infrastructure in which to support geospatial stream data processing. First, we argue that cloud best fits the requirements of a large-scale geostreaming application. Second, we propose ElaStream, a general cloud-based streaming infrastructure that enables huge parallelism by means of the divide, conquer, and combine paradigm. Third, we examine key related work in the data streaming and (geo)spatial database fields, and describe the challenges ahead to build scalable cloud-based geostreaming applications.","PeriodicalId":190366,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop on GeoStreaming","volume":"374 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128002057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, this is not always possible. As an instance, in case of event when slow or obstructed communication lines may make exchange of information difficult or even impossible. In order to mitigate this issue, an approach is sending data in a progressive way by generating simplified versions of the map and then, transmitting the coarsest map and then adding refinements passing through intermediate versions until reaching an acceptable detail. However, choosing the first and the subsequent versions is a complex problem and designers are often let to decide on a case-by-case basis. In this paper, we present a three step schema for generating simplified versions which is based on an empirical experiment whose aim is to determine which reduction levels can be applied by analyzing the perception of map changes with respect to the original map.","PeriodicalId":190366,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop on GeoStreaming","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129145729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A Public Transport Awareness solution from IBM captures, processes, stores and visualizes vehicle movements across a public transportation network. The solution continuously analyses vehicle data and generates vehicle location, status, speed and predicted time of arrival based on realtime GPS signals. With a vision to improve information for citizens to increase ridership and revenues, this solution predicts when their bus will arrive, and optimal routes to reach their destination at the desired time. The solution uses the Geospatial Toolkit for IBM InfoSphere Streams, which implements the World Geodetic System 84 to accurately track locations in real time. InfoSphere Streams, an advanced, commercial stream processing platform provides an innovative, distributed runtime and a graph-based, extensible programming paradigm. It is well suited to extreme performance requirements and highly s ophisticated processing and analytics on all kinds of data, from structured business records to text, audio, imagery, time-series and geospatial data.

Such moving objects often represent not just point-based objects, but rather moving regions like hurricanes, oil-spills, or animal herds. One key application feature users are often interested in is the exploration and prediction of moving object trajectories. While there exist models and techniques that help to predict the movement of moving point objects, no such method for moving regions has been proposed yet.\u0000 In this paper, we present an approach to model and predict the development of moving regions. Our method not only predicts the trajectory of regions, but also the evolution of a region's spatial extent and orientation. For this, moving regions are modelled using minimum enclosing boxes, and evolution patterns of regions are determined using linear regression and a recursive motion function. We demonstrate the functionality and effectiveness of the proposed technique using real-world sensor data from different application domains.","PeriodicalId":190366,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop on GeoStreaming","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130085698","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, much of this data is locked in a variety of presentation formats and is computationally inaccessible. In addition, although these data have a spatiotemporal context, both the spatial and temporal data are usually only implicitly defined. Although storing this data in a consistent database can partially resolve this problem, a data-driven programming model coupled with MapReduce capabilities is a more flexible and extensible solution. Our implementation of this programming model allows users to parse a wide array of sensor data and express complex computation in a simple, scalable manner. In addition, our framework uses a simple key-value storage mechanism and provides convenient geospatial output mechanisms. In this paper, we discuss some early results of our programming model within the context of our current Java-oriented implementation, and demonstrate how the system can be used to create many different applications. We also discuss and evaluate our system with respect to memory usage and scalability.","PeriodicalId":190366,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop on GeoStreaming","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129211295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
