WSNs generate a large amount of data in the form of data stream; and mining these streams to extract useful knowledge is a highly challenging task. Existing works proposed in literature use sensor association rules measured in terms of occurrence frequency of patterns. However, these rules often generate a huge number of rules, most of which are non-informative or fail to reflect the true correlation among data objects. Additionally mining associated sensor patterns from sensor stream data, which is vital for real-time applications, has not been addressed yet in literature. In this paper, we address these problems and propose a new type of sensor behavioral pattern called associated sensor patterns which capture simultaneously association-like co-occurrence as well as substantial temporal correlations implied by such co-occurrences in sensor data. We propose a novel tree structure, called associated sensor …
