Artificial Intelligence plays an increasingly important role in many industrial applications as it has great potential for solving complex engineering problems. One of such applications is the optimization of petroleum reservoirs production. It is crucial to produce hydrocarbons efficiently as their geological resources are limited. From an economic point of view, optimization of hydrocarbon well control is an important factor as it affects the whole market. The solution proposed in this paper is based on state-of-the-art artificial intelligence methods, optimal control, and decision tree theory. The proposed idea is to apply a novel temporal clustering algorithm utilizing an autoencoder for temporal dimensionality reduction and a temporal clustering layer for cluster assignment, to cluster wells into groups depending on the production situation that occurs in the vicinity of the well, which allows reacting proactively. Then the optimal control of wells belonging to specific groups is determined using an auto-adaptive decision tree whose parameters are optimized using a novel sequential model-based algorithm configuration method. Optimization of petroleum reservoirs production translates directly into several economic benefits: reduction in operation costs, increase in the production effectiveness and increase in overall income without any extra expenditure as only control is changed.

<p>The identification of distinct seismic regions and the extraction of features of theirs in relation to known underground fault mappings could provide most valuable information towards understanding the seismic clustering phenomenon, i.e. whether an earthquake occurring in a particular area can trigger another earthquake in the vicinity. This research paper works towards that direction and unveils the potential presence and extent of distinct seismic regions in the area of the Southern Hellenic Seismic Arc. To achieve that, a spatio-temporal clustering algorithm has been developed based on expert knowledge regarding the spatial and timely influence of an earthquake  in its nearby vicinity using seismic data provided by the Geodynamics Institute of Athens, and is further supported by geological observations of underground faults’ mappings beneath the addressed potentially distinct seismic regions. This is made possible thanks to advances in deep learning and graphics processing units’ 3D technology that encompass parallel processing architectures, which comprise of blocks of multiple cores with parallel threads providing the necessary foundation in terms of hardware for accelerated processing for parallel seismic big data analysis. Seismic data are normally stored in massive continuously expanding matrices, as wide areas seismic covering is thickening, due to the establishment of denser recording networks, and decades of data are being stacked together. This research work embodies that technology for the development and implementation of a Cuda parallel processing agglomerative spatio-temporal clustering algorithm that enables the import of expert knowledge for the investigation of the potential presence of distinct seismic regions in the vicinity under investigation. The overall spatio temporal clustering results are also in accordance with empirical observations reported in the literature throughout the vicinity of the Hellenic Seismic Arc.</p><p>Indexing terms: parallel processing, heterogeneous parallel programming, Cuda, distinct seismic regions, seismic clustering, spatio-temporal clustering</p><p>References</p><p>Axaridou A., I.

Cyber physical systems have grown exponentially and have been attracting a lot of attention over the last few years. To retrieve and mine the useful information from massive amounts of sensor data streams with spatial, temporal, and other multidimensional information has become an active research area. Moreover, recent research has shown that clusters of streams change with a comprehensive spatial-temporal viewpoint in real applications. In this paper, we propose a spatial-temporal clustering algorithm (STClu) based on nonnegative matrix trifactorization by utilizing time-series observational data streams and geospatial relationship for clustering multiple sensor data streams. Instead of directly clustering multiple data streams periodically, STClu incorporates the spatial relationship between two sensors in proximity and integrates the historical information into consideration. Furthermore, we develop an iterative updating optimization algorithm STClu. The effectiveness and efficiency of the algorithm STClu are both demonstrated in experiments on real and synthetic data sets. The results show that the proposed STClu algorithm outperforms existing methods for clustering sensor data streams.

The clustering has provided data analysis in many contexts of Computer Science. It is widely applied in Ambient Intelligence and Ubiquitous Computing for information processing, with geolocation data prominently. In this paper, we introduce a dynamic fuzzy temporal clustering algorithm (DFTC) to detect stays of users in urban environments based on locations from imprecise sensors. Our approach includes fuzzy evaluation of temporal and probabilistic data providing analysis in real time. As results, we have developed a mobile application which integrates the DFTC and detects satisfactorily user stays related to urban commerces from a real environment.

Cluster techniques are used in hotspot spatial analysis to detect hotspots as areas on the map; an extension of the Fuzzy C-means that the clustering algorithm has been applied to locate hotspots on the map as circular areas; it represents a good trade-off between the accuracy in the detection of the hotspot shape and the computational complexity. However, this method does not measure the reliability of the detected hotspots and therefore does not allow us to evaluate how reliable the identification of a hotspot of a circular area corresponding to the detected cluster is; a measure of the reliability of hotspots is crucial for the decision maker to assess the need for action on the area circumscribed by the hotspots. We propose a method based on the use of De Luca and Termini’s Fuzzy Entropy that uses this extension of the Fuzzy C-means algorithm and measures the reliability of detected hotspots. We test our method in a disease analysis problem in which hotspots corresponding to areas where most oto-laryngo-pharyngeal patients reside, within a geographical area constituted by the province of Naples, Italy, are detected as circular areas. The results show a dependency between the reliability and fluctuation of the values of the degrees of belonging to the hotspots.

The study is aimed at developing a text summarizer using clustering and anomalies detection with SVM classification. A text summarization approach is proposed which uses the SVM clustering algorithm. The proposed project can be used to summarize articles from fields as diverse as politics, sports, current affairs, finance and any other explanatory document. However, it does cause a trade-off between domain independence and a knowledge-based summary which would provide data in a form more easily understandable to the user. A bundle of libraries and software’s was utilized for proper text summary of alphanumeric entering.

In this paper, we address the issues of the trade-off between QoS and QoE with an analytical analysis based on mathematical modeling under a unified normalization measurement. We model through computation the awareness of QoS and QoE with a strategy of quality-aware QoE-QoS coordination. A balanced coordination is proposed using modeling correlations between user experience and service performance. The main contributions of this paper include three main parts. First, a comprehensive mapping is modeled in a close form to illustrate the analytic correlations between QoS, QoE, and data communication. Second, an analytical method to analyze and coordinate the nonlinear trade-off between QoE and QoS is proposed based on the theoretical proof with discussions on necessary-sufficient conditions. Third, an algorithmic framework is provided to perform QoE-QoS coordination based on quality-awareness computing with a test proof. An assessment model for user experience quantification is built with the mean opinion score (MOS) test. Quality-aware QoE and QoS models are built based on the subspace learning strategy. Simulations are given to prove the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method. The results show that the operations with the proposed solution can be obtained analytically with balanced efficiency in both user experience performance and network performance.

In this chapter we propose a framework for collecting, organizing into a database and querying information in social networks by the specification of content-based, geographic and temporal conditions to the aim of detecting periodic and aperiodic events. Our proposal could be a basis for developing context aware services. For example to identify the streets and their rush hours by analyzing the messages in social media periodically sent by queuing drivers and to report these critical spatio-temporal situations to help other drivers to plan alternative routes. Specifically, we rely on a focused crawler to periodically collect messages in social networks related with the contents of interest, and on an original geo-temporal clustering algorithm in order to explore the geo-temporal distribution of the messages. The clustering algorithm can be customized so as to identify aperiodic and periodic events at global or local scale based on the specification of geographic and temporal query conditions.
