Currently, one of the most critical issues in developing the service support system for various spatio-temporal applications is the discoverying of meaningful knowledge from the large volume of moving object data. This sort of knowledge refers to the spatiotemporal moving pattern. To discovery such knowledge, various relationships between moving objects such as temporal, spatial and spatiotemporal topological relationships needs to be considered in knowledge discovery. In this paper, we proposed an efficient method, MPMine, for discoverying spatiotemporal moving patterns. The method not only has considered both temporal constraint and spatial constrain but also performs the spatial generalization using a spatial topological operation, contain(). Different from the previous temporal pattern methods, the proposed method is able to save the search space by using the location summarization and generalization of the moving object data. Therefore, Efficient discoverying of the useful moving patterns is possible.

With the explosive increase in the generation and utilization of spatiotemporal data sets, many research efforts have been focused on the efficient handling of the large volume of spatiotemporal sets. With the remarkable growth of ubiquitous computing technology, mining from the huge volume of spatiotemporal data sets is regarded as a core technology which can provide real world applications with intelligence. In this paper, we propose a 3-tier knowledge discovery framework for spatiotemporal data mining. This framework provides a foundation model not only to define the problem of spatiotemporal knowledge discovery but also to represent new knowledge and its relationships. Using the proposed knowledge discovery framework, we can easily formalize spatiotemporal data mining problems. The representation model is very useful in modeling the basic elements and the relationships between the objects in spatiotemporal data sets, information and knowledge.

In this paper, we offer a new technique to discover frequent spatiotemporal patterns from a moving object database. Though the search space for spatiotemporal knowledge is extremely challenging, imposing spatial and timing constraints on moving sequences makes the computation feasible. The proposed technique includes two algorithms, AllMOP and MaxMOP, to find all frequent patterns and maximal patterns, respectively. In addition, to support the service provider in sending information to a user in a push-driven manner, we propose a rule-based location prediction technique to predict the future location of the user. The idea is to employ the algorithm AllMOP to discover the frequent movement patterns in the user's historical movements, from which frequent movement rules are generated. These rules are then used to estimate the future location of the user. The performance is assessed with respect to precision and recall. The proposed techniques could be quite efficiently applied in a location-based service (LBS) system in which diverse types of data are integrated to support a variety of LBSs.

Due to the development of information technologies and new businesses related to moving objects, the need for the storage and analysis of moving object data is increasing rapidly. Moving object data have a spatiotemporal nature which is different from typical business data. Therefore, different methods of data storage and analysis are required. This paper proposes a multidimensional data model and data visualization to analyze moving object data efficiently and effectively. We expect that decision makers can understand the movement pattern of moving objects more intuitively through the proposed implementation.

As the development of database technology for managing spatiotemporal data, new types of spatiotemporal application services that need the spatiotemporal knowledge discovery from the large volume of spatiotemporal data are emerging. In this paper, a new 3-layered discovery framework for the development of spatiotemporal knowledge discovery techniques is proposed. The framework supports the foundation model in order not only to define spatiotemporal knowledge discovery problem but also to represent the definition of spatiotemporal knowledge and their relationships. Also the components of spatiotemporal knowledge discovery system and its implementation model are proposed. The discovery framework proposed in this paper satisfies the requirement of the development of new types of spatiotemporal knowledge discovery techniques. The proposed framework can support the representation model of each element and relationships between objects of the spatiotemporal data set, information and knowledge. Hence in designing of the new types of knowledge discovery such as spatiotemporal moving pattern, the proposed framework can not only formalize but also simplify the discovery problems.

The converge of location-aware devices, GIS functionalities and the increasing accuracy and availability of positioning technologies pave the way to a range of new types of location-based services. The field of spatiotemporal data mining where relationships are defined by spatial and temporal aspect of data is encountering big challenges since the increased search space of knowledge. Therefore, we aim to propose algorithms for mining spatiotemporal patterns in mobile environment in this paper. Moving patterns are generated utilizing two algorithms called All_MOP and Max_MOP. The first one mines all frequent patterns and the other discovers only maximal frequent patterns. Our proposed approach is able to reduce consuming time through comparison with DFS_MINE algorithm. In addition, our approach is applicable to location-based services such as tourist service, traffic service, and so on.
