Event detection over continuous data stream for the sustainable growth in agriculture context

The coordination failure is a concept that explains the failure of people to coordinate and act on a real-world problem properly. The failure of coordination among human communities can lead to social problems in many domains including in transportation, health care, disaster management, agriculture etc. and ultimately affects the sustainable growth of a country as a whole. The recent advancements in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have introduced a new trend called Collaborative Consumption - the peer-to-peer based coordination and sharing of information through online by human communities has been expected to solve these social problems identified in the above domains. The tremendous adaptation of people towards ICTs ultimately resulted in huge, fast-moving and heterogeneous data contributed by people in a collaborative manner. In here, most of these data describe real-time events associated with the people based on their context. The way of coordinating user communities to contribute data, detecting events from it and effective delivery of required information to needful parties would be a possible solution to overcome the coordination problem. In this paper, the result of a systematic literature review is performed to understand the current state of the event detection methods used in information systems. Furthermore, we have proposed a user centered mobile based information system that assists the detection of pest outbreak events in agriculture domain for an effective and timely delivery of actionable information to farmers.
