An integrated information lifecycle management framework for exploiting social network data to identify dynamic large crowd concentration events in smart cities applications

“…Citizen-centric approaches should be the main target of the respective applications ( [25], [26]), in order to aid in the individualization of services, while multiple sources of social network data can be used together with analytics services for a variety of scenarios [27]. The ability to use social network data as a source of crowd concentration in order to guide tourism services (or in general smart platform services) has been reviewed with success in [40], while critical challenges of data ingestion, spatial analysis and visualization are included in [41].…”
