Project Topics in a Nutshell: �Distributed Data Sources: � Databases & Visualization: �Scalable Visual High-Dim. �EVE : Data Warehousing over Data Exploration Distributed Data � Data and Visual Quality �TOTAL-ETL : Distributed Support in XMDV Extract Transform Load [NSF’ 97, NSF 01, NSF 05] [NSF’ 96, NSF 02, NSF 05? ] �XML/Web Data Systems: �RAINBOW : XML to Relational Databases �MASS : Native XQuery Processing System [Verizon, IBM, NSF 05] � Stream Monitoring System: � Scalable Query Engine for Data Streams �Fire Prediction and Monitoring Appl. [NSF 05]

CAPE : Engine for Querying and Monitoring Streaming Data Example of Stream Data Applications: • Market Analysis –Streams of Stock Exchange Data get rich • Critical Care –Streams of Vital Sign Measurements – save lives • Physical Plant Monitoring –Streams of Environmental Readings – protect env

Continuous Queries on Data Streams Online Stream Monitoring

�A driving application: FIRE

Sensors in Rooms

Futuristic Monitoring Queries … �Track a smoke cloud (moving cluster) in terms of its speed and severity ? �Find the scope and direction of fire spreads ? �Match given sensors readings of fire with a fire stream simulation to determine similarity ? �Is this a prank (outlier), or an actual fire ? �What path should people be leaving this building ? �Any sensor readings are faulty, can be ignored?

Fire. Engine : Fire Stream Processing

• Possible MQP Projects � Fire Spread Monitoring Query Engine � Real-time GUI for Monitoring � Fire Pattern Mining (Patterns/Simulation) � Performance via Distributed Processing (WPI 20 node cluster) � Sensor and Stream Management
