For example, during disease outbreaks, sharing spatial accessibility data such as individual travel distances to health facilities is vital to policy making and designing effective interventions. However, sharing these data may raise privacy concerns, as information about individual data contributors (e.g., health status and residential address) may be disclosed. In this work, we investigate those unintended information leakage in spatial accessibility analysis. Specifically, we are interested in understanding whether sharing data for spatial accessibility computations may disclose individual participation (i.e., membership inference) and personal identifiable information (i.e., address inference). Furthermore, we propose two provably private algorithms that mitigate those privacy risks. The evaluation is conducted with real population and healthcare facilities data from Mecklenburg county, NC and Nashville, TN. Compared to state-of-the-art privacy practices, our methods effectively reduce the risks of membership and address disclosure, while providing useful data for spatial accessibility analysis.</p>","PeriodicalId":90295,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

In this paper, we present a data mining approach that utilizes publicly available OpenStreetMap (OSM) data to automatically generate an air quality model for the concentrations of fine particulate matter less than 2.5 <i>μ</i>m in aerodynamic diameter at various temporal scales. Our experiment shows that our (domain-) expert-free model could generate accurate PM_2.5 concentration predictions, which can be used to improve air quality models that traditionally rely on expert-selected input. Our approach also quantifies the impact on air quality from a variety of geographic features (i.e., how various types of geographic features such as parking lots and commercial buildings affect air quality and from what distance) representing mobile, stationary and area natural and anthropogenic air pollution sources. This approach is particularly important for enabling the construction of context-specific spatiotemporal models of air pollution, allowing investigations of the impact of air pollution exposures on sensitive populations such as children with asthma at scale.</p>","PeriodicalId":90295,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

In this paper, we present our work on building an effective and scalable in-memory based spatial query system <i>iSPEED</i> for large-scale 3D data with complex structures. To achieve low latency, iSPEED stores data in memory with effective progressive compression for each 3D object with successive levels of detail. To minimize search space and computation cost, iSPEED pregenerates global spatial indexes in memory and employs on-demand indexing at run-time. In particular, iSPEED exploits structural indexing for complex structured objects in distance based queries. iSPEED provides a 3D spatial query engine that can be invoked on-demand to run many instances in parallel implemented with, but not limited to, MapReduce. iSPEED builds in-memory indexes and decompresses data on-demand, which has minimal memory footprint. We evaluate iSPEED with two representative queries: 3D spatial joins and 3D spatial proximity estimation.

Recent works have focused on extending spatial MapReduce frameworks to leverage high performance in-memory distributed processing capabilities of systems such as Spark. However, the performance advantage comes with the requirement of having enough memory and comprehensive configuration. Failing to fulfill this falls back to disk IO, defeating the purpose of such systems or in worst case gets out of memory and fails the job. The problem is aggravated further for spatial processing since the underlying in-memory systems are oblivious of spatial data features and characteristics. In this paper we present SparkGIS - an in-memory oriented spatial data querying system for high throughput and low latency spatial query handling by adapting Apache Spark's distributed processing capabilities. It supports basic spatial queries including containment, spatial join and <i>k</i>-nearest neighbor and allows extending these to complex query pipelines. SparkGIS mitigates skew in distributed processing by supporting several dynamic partitioning algorithms suitable for a rich set of contemporary application scenarios. Multilevel global and local, pre-generated and on-demand in-memory indexes, allow SparkGIS to prune input data and apply compute intensive operations on a subset of relevant spatial objects only. Finally, SparkGIS employs dynamic query rewriting to gracefully manage large spatial query workflows that exceed available distributed resources. Our comparative evaluation has shown that the performance of SparkGIS is on par with contemporary Spark based platforms for relatively smaller queries and outperforms them for larger data and memory intensive workflows by dynamic query rewriting and efficient spatial data management.</p>","PeriodicalId":90295,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

This growth is driven by not only geospatial problems in numerous fields, but also emerging scientific applications that are increasingly data- and compute-intensive. For example, digital pathology imaging has become an emerging field during the past decade, where examination of high resolution images of human tissue specimens enables more effective diagnosis, prediction and treatment of diseases. Systematic analysis of large-scale pathology images generates tremendous amounts of spatially derived quantifications of micro-anatomic objects, such as nuclei, blood vessels, and tissue regions. Analytical pathology imaging provides high potential to support image based computer aided diagnosis. One major requirement for this is effective <i>querying</i> of such enormous amount of data with fast response, which is faced with two major challenges: the \"big data\" challenge and the high computation complexity. In this paper, we present our work towards building a high performance spatial query system for querying massive spatial data on MapReduce. Our framework takes an on demand index building approach for processing spatial queries and a partition-merge approach for building parallel spatial query pipelines, which fits nicely with the computing model of MapReduce. We demonstrate our framework on supporting multi-way spatial joins for algorithm evaluation and nearest neighbor queries for microanatomic objects. To reduce query response time, we propose cost based query optimization to mitigate the effect of data skew.
