A NOVEL TRUE REAL-TIME SPATIOTEMPORAL DATA STREAM PROCESSING FRAMEWORK

Recent advances in mobile technologies have enabled a plethora of new applications. The hardware capabilities of mobile devices, however, are still insufficient for real-time stream data processing (e.g., real-time video stream). In order to process real-time streaming data, most existing applications offload the data and computation to a remote cloud service, such as Apache Storm or Apache Spark Streaming. Offloading streaming data, however, has high costs for users, e.g., significant service fees and battery consumption. To address these challenges, we design, implement and evaluate Mobile Storm, the first stream processing platform for mobile clouds, leveraging clusters of local mobile devices to process real-time stream data. In Mobile Storm, we model the workflow of a real-time stream processing job and decompose it into several tasks so that the job can be executed concurrently and in a distributed manner on multiple mobile devices. Mobile Storm was implemented on Android phones and evaluated extensively through a real-time HD video processing application. The result shows that Mobile Storm effectively processes HD Video Stream in a mobile cloud, which would be impossible on a single mobile device.

Processing a data stream in real time is a crucial issue for several applications, however processing a large amount of data from different sources, such as sensor networks, web traffic, social media, video streams and other sources, represents a huge challenge. The main problem is that the big data system is based on Hadoop technology, especially MapReduce for processing. This latter is a high scalability and fault tolerant framework. It also processes a large amount of data in batches and provides perception blast insight of older data, but it can only process a limited set of data. MapReduce is not appropriate for real time stream processing, and is very important to process data the moment they arrive at a fast response and a good decision making. Ergo the need for a new architecture that allows real-time data processing with high speed along with low latency. The major aim of the paper at hand is to give a clear survey of the different open sources technologies that exist for real-time data stream processing including their system architectures. We shall also provide a brand new architecture which is mainly based on previous comparisons of real-time processing powered with machine learning and storm technology.

Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) Chip Multi-Processor (CMP) systems are for cost reasons often used in industry for soft real-time stream processing. COTS CMP systems typically have a low timing predictability, which makes it difficult to develop software applications for these systems with tight temporal requirements. Restricting the way applications use the hardware and Operating System (OS) might alleviate this difficulty, so that certain types of applications could be run on COTS CMP systems with statistically verified temporal requirements. In this thesis we restrict the application domain to soft real-time medical image processing applications, which have a much more ‘stable’ usage of hardware resources than applications in general. Techniques at the application level are employed to improve the reproducibility (i.e. to reduce the variance) of the end-to-end latency of these imaging processing systems. Firstly, we study the effectiveness of a number of scheduling heuristics that are intended to improve the reproducibility of a stream processing application that is executed on COTS multiprocessor systems. Experiments show that the proposed heuristics can reduce the end-to-end latency with almost 60%, and reduce the variation in the latency with more than 90%, when compared with a naive scheduling heuristic that does not consider execution times, dependencies and the memory hierarchy. Secondly, we want to be able to integrate multiple real-time and best-effort applications on a single COTS CMP system without reducing the reproducibility of the real-time application too much. For this we examined the first component that is shared between different applications running on separate cores, the shared cache and in particular the bandwidth in the cache. We propose a technique that implements cache bandwidth reservation in software. This is achieved by dynamically duty-cycling best-effort applications based on their cache bandwidth usages measured with processor performance counters. With this technique we can control the latency increase of real-time applications that is caused by best-effort applications. Thirdly, we introduce the Probabilistic Time Triggered System (PTTS) model to analyze and optimize the end-to-end latency of a complete system that contains multiple time triggered interfaces. Our case study demonstrates the applicability of the PTTS model and the corresponding analysis techniques for an interventional X-ray system. We expect that the PTTS model is also applicable for other systems than medical image processing systems.

This paper presents an integrated approach to real-time processing and analysis of large-scale data streams using artificial intelligence methods, multi-agent systems, and multi-layered control architectures. Particular attention is devoted to combining technologies that are traditionally applied separately: unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control systems, situational centers, streaming video services, and distributed sensor networks. The proposed model accounts for the stochastic nature of the environment, the dynamic behaviour of data flows, and resource constraints, which are critical factors for real-time systems. The study develops a multi-level multi-agent architecture that includes central, regional, and edge nodes, as well as local agents such as drones, sensors, and client-side video devices. A mathematical formalization of agent interaction and reward functions is proposed to ensure a balance between service quality, latency, packet loss, and energy consumption. The use of multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) algorithms is introduced to support adaptive decision-making in real time, along with the development of a digital twin of the environment for predicting future system states using deep and generative models. The results demonstrate that the integration of edge computing, hierarchical decision-making, and local agent autonomy significantly enhances system resilience, provides stable performance under external disturbances, and enables effective infrastructure scaling. The findings form a scientific foundation for designing adaptive, robust, and self-learning next-generation digital ecosystems capable of intelligent processing of large data streams in real time

Real-time big data processing is a crucial need of meteorology today. As a matter of fact, the weather is a determining factor in decision making in different areas such as air or sea transport, so acquiring knowledge of the environment in real time is a consequential question. A promising approach for big data treatment in real time is based on the concept of complex events processing CEP). The CEP aims to identify significant events in a cloud of simple and individually detectable events in real time. The meteorological variables, constituting simple event's spaces, offer significant flow of data to be processed using CEP technologies. This real-time data processing is done by phase of their integration with weather systems. This paper discusses the big data's meteorological aspects, and shows the architectural model for integration of weather data and its processing in real time.

In the digital era, data is one of the most important assets since it conceals valuable information. Developers of data-intensive systems have new challenges at each level of streaming, storing, and processing large quantities of data in a variety of forms and speeds. Obtaining useful information at the proper time and place is also crucial. Since the value of information is inversely proportional to time, real-time data processing and analytics are receiving more attention. Due to the importance of real-time data processing and analytics, this study focuses on real-time data processing concepts and terminology, popular technologies used in real-time data processing and analytics, popular NoSQL storage technologies used in real-time data processing, and real-time data processing application areas. The purpose of this paper is to provide researchers of real-time analysis and developers of data-intensive systems with a comparative perspective on real-time data processing by highlighting the key characteristics of real-time data processing technologies, NoSQL storage technologies, their application domains, and selected examples from previous studies.

With the increasing availability and scale of data from Web 2.0, the ability to efficiently and timely analyze huge amounts of data is important for industry success. A number of real-time stream processing platforms have been developed, such as Storm, S4, and Flume. A fundamental problem of these large scale decentralized stream processing systems is how to deploy the workload to each node so as to fully utilize the available resources and optimize the overall system performance. In this paper, we present StroMAX, a graph-partitioning based approach of workload scheduling for real-time stream processing systems. StroMAX uses two advanced generic schedulers to improve the performance of stream processing systems by reducing the inter-node communication cost while keeping the workload of nodes below a certain computational load threshold. The first scheduler analyzes the workload structure when a job is committed and uses the graph-partitioning result to determine the deployment of tasks. The second scheduler analyzes the statistical information of physical nodes, and dynamically reassigns the tasks during runtime to improve the overall performance. Besides, StroMAXcan be deployed to many other state-of-the-art real-time stream processing systems easily. We implemented StroMAX on Storm, a representative real-time stream processing system. Extensive experiments conducted with real-world workloads and datasets demonstrate the superiority of our approaches against the existing solutions.

This exploration aims to transfer, process and store multimedia information timely, accurately and comprehensively through computer comprehensive technology processing, and organically combine various elements under the background of big data analysis, so as to form a complete intelligent platform design for multimedia information processing and application. In this exploration, the intelligent vehicle monitoring system is taken as an example. Data acquisition, data transmission, real-time data processing, data storage and data application are realized through the real-time data stream processing framework of [Formula: see text] of big data technology. Data interaction is realized through Spring, Spring MVC, VUE front-end framework, and Ajax asynchronous communication local update technology. Data storage is achieved through Red is cache database, and intelligent vehicle operation supervision system is achieved through multimedia information technology processing. Its purpose is to manage the vehicle information, real-time monitor the running state of the vehicle and give an alarm when there are some problems. The basic functions of vehicle operation monitoring and management system based on big data analysis are realized. The research on the design of vehicle operation monitoring and management system based on big data analysis shows that big data technology can be applied to the design of computer multimedia intelligent platform, and provides a reference case for the development of computer multimedia intelligent platform based on big data analysis.

Recent rapid development of wireless communication, mobile computing, global navigational satellite systems (GNSS), and spatially enabled sensors is leading to an exponential growth of available spatio-temporal data produced continuously at hight speed. Spatio-temporal data streams, i.e. real-time, transient, time-varying sequences of spatiotemporal data items, demonstrates at least two Big Data core features: volume and velocity. To handle the volumes of data and computation they involve, these applications need to be distributed over clusters. However, despite substantial work on cluster programming models for batch computation, there are few similarly high-level tools for stream processing. Obviously, there is a clear need for highly scalable spatio-temporal stream computing framework that can operate at high data rates and process massive amounts of big spatio-temporal data streams. In this chapter we present our approach and framework for an integrated big spatio-temporal data stream processing. The key concept here is that streaming data and persistent data are not intrinsically different - the persistent spatio-temporal data is simply streaming data that has been entered into the persistent structures.

With the development of various technologies such as high-speed Internet and SNS dissemination, there have been many fields that require processing of big data generated in real time. Accordingly, real-time streaming data processing technology has been developed, and representative platforms include Apache Storm, Apache Spark, and Hadoop. These processing technologies provide scalability to configure distributed systems using multiple servers because they vary in performance, such as throughput and processing speed, depending on the server environment, but the more the number of servers, the more difficult it is to manage. To solve this problem, a problem can be solved by using a docker, a kind of virtualization system that provides ease of expansion. However, there is a place to maintain a native environment without using Docker due to the problem that performance may be reduced, which is a disadvantage of all virtualization systems. In this paper, we build Apache Storm and Apache Spark, which are real-time data processing systems in Docker and Native environments and conduct performance measurements through experiments processing JSON-format data to verify how much performance decreases in Docker environments.

As deep learning, virtual reality, and other technologies become mature, real-time data processing applications running on intelligent terminals are emerging endlessly; meanwhile, edge computing has developed rapidly and has become a popular research direction in the field of distributed computing. Edge computing network is a network computing environment composed of multi-edge computing nodes and data centers. First, the edge computing framework and key technologies are analyzed to improve the performance of real-time data processing applications. In the system scenario where the collaborative deployment tasks of multi-edge nodes and data centers are considered, the stream processing task deployment process is formally described, and an efficient multi-edge node-computing center collaborative task deployment algorithm is proposed, which solves the problem of copy-free task deployment in the task deployment problem. Furthermore, a heterogeneous edge collaborative storage mechanism with tight coupling of computing and data is proposed, which solves the contradiction between the limited computing and storage capabilities of data and intelligent terminals, thereby improving the performance of data processing applications. Here, a Feasible Solution (FS) algorithm is designed to solve the problem of placing copy-free data processing tasks in the system. The FS algorithm has excellent results once considering the overall coordination. Under light load, the V value is reduced by 73% compared to the Only Data Center-available (ODC) algorithm and 41% compared to the Hash algorithm. Under heavy load, the V value is reduced by 66% compared to the ODC algorithm and 35% compared to the Hash algorithm. The algorithm has achieved good results after considering the overall coordination and cooperation and can more effectively use the bandwidth of edge nodes to transmit and process data stream, so that more tasks can be deployed in edge computing nodes, thereby saving time for data transmission to the data centers. The end-to-end collaborative real-time data processing task scheduling mechanism proposed here can effectively avoid the disadvantages of long waiting times and unable to obtain the required data, which significantly improves the success rate of the task and thus ensures the performance of real-time data processing.

© 2019 Association for Computing Machinery.Number of connected devices is steadily increasing and these devices continuously generate data streams. These data streams are often high dimensional and contain concept drift. Real-time processing of data streams is arousing interest despite many challenges. Clustering is a method that does not need labeled instances (it is unsupervised) and it can be applied with less prior information about the data. These properties make clustering one of the most suitable methods for real-time data stream processing. Moreover, data embedding is a process that may simplify clustering and makes visualization of high dimensional data possible. There exist several data stream clustering algorithms in the literature, however no data stream embedding method exists. UMAP is a data embedding algorithm that is suitable to be applied on data streams, but it cannot adopt concept drift. In this study, we have developed a new method to apply UMAP on data streams, adopt concept drift and cluster embedded data instances using any distance based clustering algorithms.

Real-time monitoring microblog data can find sensitive information in time and provide help for public sentiment management and control. However, it needs processing large-scale data stream. MapReduce is a framework of processing large-scale data in batch mode, its purpose is to increase throughput, but its real-time performance is limited. Aiming at the real-time performance limitation of MapReduce, RT-SSP Real-Time Staged Stream Processing, a hybrid staged real-time stream processing scheme both for batch and real-time processing was proposed. By this method large-scale high-speed data stream is locally processed in stages, the communication cost is reduced by storing intermediate results to local node, and key technologies such as cache optimization are used to realize high concurrent read and write. Experiments show that RT-SSP scheme can improve the real-time performance of processing large-scale microblog data stream and achieve speed-up ratio of about 2.3.

In light of the prevailing approach in which data from side-scan sonar (SSS) from Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are primarily processed and visualized post mission, failing to meet the requirements in terms of timeliness for on-the-fly image acquisition, this paper introduces a novel method for real-time processing and superior imaging of navigation strip data from SSS aboard AUVs. Initially, a comprehensive description of the real-time processing sequence is provided, encompassing the integration of multi-source navigation data using Kalman filtering, and high-pass filtering of attitude and heading data to exclude anomalies, as well as the use of bidirectional filtering techniques within and between pings, ensuring real-time quality control of raw data. In addition, this study adopts the semantic segmentation Unet network for automatic real-time tracking of seafloor lines, devises a real-time correction strategy for radial distortion based on historical echo data, and utilizes the alternating direction multiplier method for real-time noise reduction in strip images. With the combined application of these four pivotal techniques, we adeptly address the primary challenges in real-time navigation data processing. In conclusion, marine tests conducted in Bohai Bay substantiate the efficacy of the methodologies delineated in this research, offering a fresh paradigm for real-time processing and superior visualization of SSS navigation strip data on AUVs.
