Abstract

In this chapter a relational framework able to model and analyse the data observed by nodes involved in a sensor network is presented. In particular, we propose a powerful and expressive description language able to represent the spatio-temporal relations appearing in sensor network data along with the environmental information. Furthermore, a general purpose system able to elicit hidden frequent temporal correlations between sensor nodes is presented. The framework has been extended in order to take into account interval-based temporal data by introducing some operators based on a temporal interval logic. A preliminary abstraction step with the aim of segmenting and labelling the real-valued time series into similar subsequences is performed exploiting a kernel density estimation approach. The prposed framework has been evaluated on real world data collected from a wireless sensor network.
