Title
Pattern-based event detection in sensor networks
Abstract
Many applications of wireless sensor networks monitor the physical world and report events of interest. To facilitate event detection in these applications, in this paper we propose a pattern-based event detection approach and integrate the approach into an in-network sensor query processing framework. Different from existing threshold-based event detection, we abstract events into patterns in sensory data and convert the problem of event detection into a pattern matching problem. We focus on applying single-node temporal patterns, and define the general patterns as well as five types of basic patterns for event specification. Considering the limited storage on sensor nodes, we design an on-node cache manager to maintain the historical data required for pattern matching and develop event-driven processing techniques for queries in our framework. We have conducted experiments using patterns for events that are extracted from real-world datasets. The results demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of our approach.
