A formal model to infer geographic events from sensor observations
2014
International Journal of Geographical Information Science
The Sensor Web provides wider access to sensors and their observations via the Web. A key challenge is to infer information about geographic events from these observations. ...
The model is exploited with a rule-based mechanism to infer information about events from in-situ observations. ...
Geographic events (geo-event) are not directly interacting with sensors, but rather they are "historical entities" inferred from observations. ...

Sensors Tell More than They Sense: Modeling and Reasoning about Sensor Observations for Understanding Weather Events
2012
International Journal of Sensors Wireless Communications and Control
The essential part of deriving information about geographic events from sensor observations is to formalize the relations between them. ...
In this paper, we argue that sensors provide a better understanding of geographic events. They produce observations that reflect the natural events taking place at a particular location. ...

Towards Semantic Integration of Heterogeneous Sensor Data with Indigenous Knowledge for Drought Forecasting
2015
Proceedings of the Doctoral Symposium of the 16th International Middleware Conference on - Middleware Doct Symposium '15
To achieve the maximum benefits of IoT for drought forecasting, a dedicated semantic middleware solution is required. ...
This research proposes a middleware that semantically represents and integrates heterogeneous data sources with indigenous knowledge based on a unified ontology for an accurate IoT-based drought early ...
The middleware will be used to attach semantic meaning to observed property and the detection-oriented CEP Engine will infer patterns from the observed properties based on set of a indicators derived from ...

Geo-Situation for Modeling Causality of Geo-Events in Knowledge Graphs
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
This concept links to observational snapshots that represent sets of conditions, and either acts as the setting of a geo-event or influences the initiation of a geo-event. ...
We envision the use of this framework within knowledge graphs that represent geographic entities will help answer the important question of why a geographic event occurred. ...
Fig. 2 ). [1] adopts the notion of process that actuates sensors to make observations, which are then used to infer events, and [4] describes variations in quantitative observed properties as events ...

Semantic-enhanced resource discovery for CoAP-based sensor networks
2013
5th IEEE International Workshop on Advances in Sensors and Interfaces IWASI
Data mining procedures were also exploited to detect high-level events from gathered raw data. A case study on environmental monitoring has been proposed to test the effectiveness of our approach. ...
This paper presents a complete Semantic Sensor Network (SSN) framework, supporting a resource discovery based on non-standard inferences. ...
Such non-standard inference service is particularly useful in sensor network scenarios, where we need to gather data from different type of sensor with specific features to infer proper events. ...

Ecological Informatics
We describe a semantic data validation tool that is capable of observing incoming real-time sensor data and performing reasoning against a set of rules specific to the scientific domain to which the data ...
Our software solution can produce a variety of different outcomes when a data anomaly or unexpected event is detected, ranging from simple flagging of data points, to data augmentation, to validation of ...

{\rm E} - A Generic Event Model for Event-Centric Multimedia Data Management in eChronicle Applications
2006
22nd International Conference on Data Engineering Workshops (ICDEW'06)
As a foundation, the paper proposes the E multimedia event model and discusses essential design considerations for the development of that model. ...
E's genericity and profound adaptability to varying application needs make the model a suitable foundation for reusable multimedia data management components that are useful not only for eChronicle applications ...

pre-print
Data heterogeneity hampers the effort to integrate and infer knowledge from vast heterogeneous data sources. ...
In this paper, we describe and evaluate a cross-domain middleware architecture that semantically integrates and generate inference from heterogeneous data sources. ...

Spatio-Temporal Event Detection Using Dynamic Conditional Random Fields
2009
International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence
In this paper, we propose a new Spatio-Temporal Event Detection (STED) algorithm in sensor networks based on a dynamic conditional random field (DCRF) model. ...
Event detection is a critical task in sensor networks for a variety of real-world applications. ...

Making Sense of the World: Framing Models for Trustworthy Sensor-Driven Systems
2018
Computers
Examples from a smart water distribution network illustrate how frames offer a lens through which to organise and balance multiple views of the system. ...
Can we model them in a way that captures all the key issues? We define two concepts: frames of reference and frames of function that help us organise models of sensor-based systems and their purpose. ...
We can infer stochastic models of clusters of "normal" behaviour and variances from sampled event streams, consisting of both periodic data sensing events and aperiodic control events. ...

Addressing the attack attribution problem using knowledge discovery and multi-criteria fuzzy decision-making
2009
Proceedings of the ACM SIGKDD Workshop on CyberSecurity and Intelligence Informatics - CSI-KDD '09
By means of experiments with real-world attack traces, we show how this method can effectively help us to perform a behavioral analysis of those zombie armies from a long-term, strategic viewpoint. ...
In most cases, the observed phenomena can be attributed to so-called zombie armies -or botnets, i.e. groups of compromised machines controlled remotely by a same entity. ...
Then, each time a new event could not be attributed to an existing phenomenon, the inference engine will create a new fuzzy system to model this new emerging phenomenon. ...
