Abstract

We consider distributed computing environments where georeferenced sensors feed a unique central server with numeric and unidimensional data streams. Knowledge discovery fromthese geographically distributed data streams poses several challenges including the requirement of data summarization in order to store the streamed data in a central server with a limited memory. We propose an enhanced segmentation algorithm in order to group data sources in the same spatial cluster if they stream data which evolve according to a close trajectory over the time. A trajectory is constructed by tracking only data points which represent a change of trend in the associated spatial cluster. Clusters of trajectories are discovered on-the-fly and stored in the database. Experiments prove effectiveness and accuracy of our approach.
