FSOLAP: A Fuzzy Logic-based Spatial OLAP Framework for Spatial-Temporal Analytics and Querying

2023-1-3
Keskin, Sinan
Nowadays, with the rise in sensor technology, the amount of spatial and temporal data increases day by day. Fast, effective, and accurate analysis and prediction of collected data have become more essential than ever. Spatial Online Analytical Processing (SOLAP) emerged to perform data mining on spatial and temporal data that naturally contains the hierarchical structure used in many complex applications. In addition, uncertainty and fuzziness are inherently essential elements of data in many complex data applications, particularly in spatial-temporal database applications. Also, there is always a need to support flexible queries and analyses on uncertain and fuzzy data, due to the nature of the data in these complex spatiotemporal applications. In this study, FSOLAP is proposed as a new fuzzy SOLAP-based framework to compose the benefits of fuzzy logic and SOLAP concepts and is extended with inference capability to the framework to support predictive analytics and spatiotemporal predictive querying. Additionally, while FSOLAP primarily includes historical data and associated queries and analyses, we also describe how to handle predictive fuzzy spatiotemporal queries, which typically require an inference mechanism. The predictive accuracy and resource utilization performance of FSOLAP are compared using real data with some well-known machine learning techniques such as Support Vector Machine, Random Forest, and Fuzzy Random Forest. The extensive experimental results show that the FSOLAP framework for the predictive analysis of various spatiotemporal events using a big meteorological dataset is considerably more accurate and scalable than conventional machine learning techniques.

Association rule mining using fuzzy spatial data cubes
Isik, Narin; Yazıcı, Adnan (2006-07-01)
The popularity of spatial databases increases since the amount of the spatial data that need to be handled has increased by the use of digital maps, images from satellites, video cameras, medical equipment, sensor networks, etc. Spatial data are difficult to examine and extract interesting knowledge; hence, applications that assist decision-making about spatial data like weather forecasting, traffic supervision, mobile communication, etc. have been introduced. In this thesis, more natural and precise knowle...
MOFCA: Multi-objective fuzzy clustering algorithm for wireless sensor networks
SERT, SEYYİT ALPER; Bagci, Hakan; Yazıcı, Adnan (2015-05-01)
This study introduces a new clustering approach which is not only energy-efficient but also distribution-independent for wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Clustering is used as a means of efficient data gathering technique in terms of energy consumption. In clustered networks, each node transmits acquired data to a cluster-head which the nodes belong to. After a cluster-head collects all the data from all member nodes, it transmits the data to the base station (sink) either in a compressed or uncompressed ma...
