Efficiently Detecting Light Events in Astronomical Temporal Data

Mountains have distinct geography and are dynamic in nature compared to the plains. 'Verticality' and 'variation' are two fundamental specificities of the mountain geography. They possess distinct temporal and spatial characteristics in a unique socio-cultural setting. There is an ever increasing need for spatial and temporal data for planning and management activities; and Geo Information (GI) Science (including Geographic Information and Earth Observation Systems). This is being recognized more and more as a common platform for integrating spatial data with social, economic and environmental data and information from different sources. This paper investigates the applicability and challenges of GISscience in the context of mountain geography with ample evidences and observations from the mountain specific publications, empirical research findings and reports. The contextual explanation of mountain geography, mountain specific problems, scientific concerns about the mountain geography, advances in GIScience, the role of GIScience for sustainable development, challenges on application of GIScience in the contexts of mountains are the points of discussion. Finally, conclusion has been made with some specific action oriented recommendations.

Essential Components

Geoinformation technologies are now becoming “end-to-end” technologies of the new digital economy. There is a need for solutions for efficient processing of spatial and spatio-temporal data that could be applied in various sectors of this new economy. Such solutions are necessary, for example, for cyberphysical systems. Essential components of cyberphysical systems are high-performance and easy-scalable data acquisition systems based on smart geosensor networks. This article discusses the problem of choosing a software environment for this kind of systems, provides a review and a comparative analysis of various open source software environments designed for large spatial data and spatial-temporal data streams processing in computer clusters. It is shown that the software framework STARK can be used to process spatial-temporal data streams in spatial-temporal data streams. An extension of the STARK class system based on the type system for spatial-temporal data streams developed by one of the authors of this article is proposed. The models and data representations obtained as a result of the proposed expansion can be used not only for processing spatial-temporal data streams in data acquisition systems based on smart geosensor networks, but also for processing spatial-temporal data streams in various purposes geoinformation systems that use processing data in computer clusters.

Optimization of energy consumption in geosensor networks is a very important factor in ensuring stability, since geosensors used for environmental monitoring have limited possibilities for recharging batteries. The article is a concise presentation of the research results in the area of increasing the energy consumption efficiency for the process of collecting spatio-temporal data with wireless geosensor networks. It is shown that in the currently used configurations of geosensor networks there is a predominant direction of the transmitted traffic, which leads to the fact that through the routing nodes that are close to the sinks, a much more traffic passes than through other network nodes. Thus, an imbalance of energy consumption arises in the network, which leads to a decrease in the autonomous operation time of the entire wireless geosensor networks. It is proposed to use the possible mobility of sinks as an optimization resource. A mathematical model for the analysis of the lifetime of a wireless geosensor network using mobile sinks is proposed. The model is analyzed from the point of view of optimization energy consumption by sensors. The proposed approach allows increasing the lifetime of wireless geosensor networks by optimizing the relocation of mobile sinks.
