Monitoring Continuous Phenomena: Background, Methods and Solutions

Monitoring continuous phenomena by stationary and mobile sensors has become a common due to the improvement in hardware and communication infrastructure and decrease in it’s cost. Sensor data is now available in near real time via web interfaces and in machine-readable form, facilitated by paradigms like the Internet of Things (IoT).

There are still some obstacles in the usability of the data since the positions (in space and time) of observation and the positions of interest usually do not...
