AbstractWith the ability to obtain simultaneous photometry of many objects, CCD time-series photometry is a potentially powerful method for obtaining data, even under non-photometric conditions. In particular, the ability to utilize one or more comparison stars on the same frame without the need to move the telescope to a different field makes for a higher duty cycle than conventional photoelectric photometry. In addition, the ability to determine the local sky in a variety of ways plus the ability to use more complex analysis techniques such as profile fitting and curves of growth permits a variety of analysis options. Some of the advantages of utilizing CCDs and the techniques used in time-series photometry of compact objects are discussed. With the flexibility of modern CCD control systems, possibilities for real-time or near real-time data analysis using readily available computer technology are stressed. Brief discussions of periodicity analysis considerations and other aspects of the data acquisition are presented.

In this work we describe a novel approach to monitor the operation of distributed computing services. Current monitoring tools are dominated by the use of time-series histograms showing the evolution of various metrics. These can quickly overwhelm or confuse the viewer due to the large number of similar looking graphs. We propose a supplementary approach through the sonification of real-time data streamed directly from a variety of distributed computing services. The real-time nature of this method allows operations staff to quickly detect problems and identify that a problem is still ongoing, avoiding the case of investigating an issue a-priori when it may already have been resolved. In this paper we present details of the system architecture and provide a recipe for deployment suitable for both site and experiment teams.

Nowadays, web traffic forecasting is a major problem as this can cause setbacks to the workings of major websites. Time-series forecasting has been a hot topic for research. Predicting future time series values is one of the most difficult problems in the industry. The time series field encompasses many different issues, ranging from inference and analysis to forecasting and classification. Forecasting the network traffic and displaying it in a dashboard that updates in real-time would be the most efficient way to convey the information. Creating a Dashboard would help in monitoring and analyzing real-time data. In this day and age, we are too dependent on Google server but if we want to host a server for large users we could have predicted the number of users from previous years to avoid server breakdown. Time Series forecasting is crucial to multiple domains. ARIMA; LSTM RNN; web traffic; prediction;time series;

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a data prediction framework for scenarios which require forecasting demand for large-scale data sources, e.g., sensor networks, securities exchange, electric power secondary system, etc. Concretely, the proposed framework should handle several difficult requirements including the management of gigantic data sources, the need for a fast self-adaptive algorithm, the relatively accurate prediction of multiple time series, and the real-time demand. Design/methodology/approach First, the autoregressive integrated moving average-based prediction algorithm is introduced. Second, the processing framework is designed, which includes a time-series data storage model based on the HBase, and a real-time distributed prediction platform based on Storm. Then, the work principle of this platform is described. Finally, a proof-of-concept testbed is illustrated to verify the proposed framework. Findings Several tests based on Power Grid monitoring data are provided for the proposed framework. The experimental results indicate that prediction data are basically consistent with actual data, processing efficiency is relatively high, and resources consumption is reasonable. Originality/value This paper provides a distributed real-time data prediction framework for large-scale time-series data, which can exactly achieve the requirement of the effective management, prediction efficiency, accuracy, and high concurrency for massive data sources.

A substantial amount of data about the COVID-19 pandemic is generated every day. Yet, data streaming, while considerably visualized, is not accompanied with modelling techniques to provide real-time insights. This study introduces a unified platform, COVIDSpread, which integrates visualization capabilities with advanced statistical methods for predicting the virus spread in the short run, using real-time data. The platform uses time series models to capture any possible non-linearity in the data. COVIDSpread enables lay users, and experts, to examine the data and develop several customized models with different restrictions such as models developed for a specific time window of the data. COVIDSpread is available here: http://vafaeelab.com/COVID19TS.html.

AbstractSubstantial amount of data about the COVID-19 pandemic is generated every day. Yet, data streaming, while considerably visualized, is not accompanied with advanced modelling techniques to provide real-time insights. This study introduces a unified platform which integrates visualization capabilities with advanced statistical methods for predicting the virus spread in the short run, using real-time data. The platform is backed up by advanced time series models to capture any possible non-linearity in the data which is enhanced by the capability of measuring the expected impact of preventive interventions such as social distancing and lockdowns. The platform enables lay users, and experts, to examine the data and develop several customized models with different restriction such as models developed for specific time window of the data. Our policy assessment of the case of Australia, shows that social distancing and travel ban restriction significantly affect the reduction of number of cases, as an effective policy.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has penetrating all things and objects around us giving them the ability to interact with the Internet, i.e., things become Smart Things (SThs). As a result, SThs produce massive real-time data (i.e., big IoT data). Smartness of IoT applications bases mainly on services such as automatic control, events handling, and decision making. Consumers of the IoT services are not only human users, but also SThs. Consequently, the potential of IoT applications relies on supporting services such as searching, retrieving, mining, analyzing, and sharing real-time data. For enhancing search service in the IoT, our previous work presents a promising solution, called Cluster Representative (ClRe), for indexing similar SThs in IoT applications. ClRe algorithms could reduce similar indexing by O(K − 1), where K is number of Time Series (TS) in a cluster. Multiple extensions for ClRe algorithms were presented in another work for enhancing accuracy of indexed data. In this theme, this paper studies performance analysis of ClRe algorithms, proposes two novel execution methods: (a) Linear execution (LE) and (b) Pair-merge execution (PME), and studies sorting impact on TS execution for enhancing similarity rate for some ClRe extensions. The proposed execution methods are evaluated with real examples and proved using Szeged-weather dataset on ClRe 3.0 and its extensions; where they produce representatives with higher similarities compared to the other extensions. Evaluation results indicate that PME could improve performance of ClRe 3.0 by = 20.5%, ClRe 3.1 by = 17.7%, and ClRe 3.2 by = 6.4% in average.

Whenever a feedback system comes into mind, it’s always a demand of the e-commerce organizations to get the customer feedbacks in real time and to build some strong dashboards on top of these feedbacks/ratings. So that they can easily know the performance of any product at any point of time as well as they could able to take a decision, on what to do with the products those are getting very poor feedbacks. Which will result in a minimum impact on the tangible and intangible assets of the organizations. For achieving the above goal it is very necessary for these organizations to adopt the right tool and implement the required environment which can deal with the real time big data ingestion, enrichment, indexing and have the power to perform simple as well as complex analysis algorithm on the stored data. In this paper, we have collected Amazon Product Ratings for doing analysis and used Apache NiFi for ingesting real-time data into Apache Solr and have taken help of Banana Dashboard to show the real time analysis results in the form of attractive and user-friendly dashboards.
