It's a Streaming World! Reasoning upon Rapidly Changing Information 论文

摘要

Data streams occur in modern applications such as sensor network monitoring, traffic engineering, RFID tags applications, telecom call recording, medical record management, financial applications, and clickstreams. On the Web, many sites distribute and present information in real-time streams. In many of these application areas, the ability to perform complex reasoning tasks that combine streaming data with evolving knowledge would be of great benefit. Stream reasoning—an unexplored, yet high-impact research area—is a new multidisciplinary approach that will build on the Semantic Web and provide the abstractions, foundations, methods, and tools required to integrate data streams and reasoning systems.
