    Over the years, the increasing development of location acquisition devices have generated a significant amount of spatio-temporal data. This data can be further analysed in search for some interesting patterns, new information, or to construct predictive models such as next location prediction. The goal of this paper is to contribute to the future research and development of group pattern discovery algorithms from spatio-temporal data by providing an insight into algorithms design in this research area which is based on a comprehensive classification of state-of-the-art models. This work includes static, big data as well as data stream processing models which to the best of authors’knowledge is the first attempt of presenting them in this context.Furthermore, the currently available surveys and taxonomies in this research area do not focus on group pattern mining algorithms nor include the state-of-the-art models. The authors conclude with the proposal of a conceptual model of Universal,Streaming, Distributed and Parameter-light (UDSP) algorithm that addresses current challenges in this research area

    How you move reveals who you are: understanding human behavior by analyzing trajectory data

    Get PDF
    The widespread use of mobile devices is producing a huge amount of trajectory data, making the discovery of movement patterns possible, which are crucial for understanding human behavior. Significant advances have been made with regard to knowledge discovery, but the process now needs to be extended bearing in mind the emerging field of behavior informatics. This paper describes the formalization of a semantic-enriched KDD process for supporting meaningful pattern interpretations of human behavior. Our approach is based on the integration of inductive reasoning (movement pattern discovery) and deductive reasoning (human behavior inference). We describe the implemented Athena system, which supports such a process, along with the experimental results on two different application domains related to traffic and recreation management

    From December 5 to December 10, 2010, the Dagstuhl Seminar 10491 ``Representation, Analysis and Visualization of Moving Objects\u27\u27 was held in Schloss Dagstuhl~--~Leibniz Center for Informatics. The major goal of this seminar has been to bring together the diverse and fast growing, research community that is involved in developing better computational techniques for spatio-temporal object representation, data mining, and visualization massive amounts of moving object data. The participants included experts from fields such as computational geometry, data mining, visual analytics, GIS science, transportation science, urban planning and movement ecology. Most of the participants came from academic institutions, some from government agencies and industry. The seminar has led to a fruitful exchange of ideas between different disciplines, to the creation of new interdisciplinary collaborations, concrete plans for a data challenge in an upcoming conference, and to recommendations for future research directions. Abstracts of the presentations given during the seminar as well as abstracts of seminar results and ideas are put together in this paper

    Towards Real-Time Detection and Tracking of Spatio-Temporal Features: Blob-Filaments in Fusion Plasma

    Full text link
    A novel algorithm and implementation of real-time identification and tracking of blob-filaments in fusion reactor data is presented. Similar spatio-temporal features are important in many other applications, for example, ignition kernels in combustion and tumor cells in a medical image. This work presents an approach for extracting these features by dividing the overall task into three steps: local identification of feature cells, grouping feature cells into extended feature, and tracking movement of feature through overlapping in space. Through our extensive work in parallelization, we demonstrate that this approach can effectively make use of a large number of compute nodes to detect and track blob-filaments in real time in fusion plasma. On a set of 30GB fusion simulation data, we observed linear speedup on 1024 processes and completed blob detection in less than three milliseconds using Edison, a Cray XC30 system at NERSC.Comment: 14 pages, 40 figure
