SMART: A Service-Oriented Statistical Analysis Framework on Spatio-Temporal Big Data (Short Paper)

Abstract

Spatio-temporal data is one of the most important assets in the context of smart cities. Spatio-temporal big data comes from a variety of sensor devices, implies the state of urban operation, insight into the development trend. Due to the multidimensional characteristics and diverse analysis needs of spatial-temporal data, data analysis based on spatial-temporal data must take into account the large capacity, diversity and frequent changes of data. This makes spatial and temporal data analysis more difficult. In order to simplify the analysis of spatio-temporal data, a service-oriented intelligent framework is proposed. Firstly, the concept of spatio-temporal data service is introduced into the framework, and several common spatio-temporal data service models are defined. Then, a configurable scripting language was proposed to define the analytic application. We also developed a prototype tool to implement spatio-temporal data services on Hadoop. In order to prove the applicability of our method, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our work through a practical application-based study.
