The document discusses leveraging big data and the Internet of Things (IoT) to enhance soccer game analysis and team performance through real-time analytics and various use cases like running analysis, ball possession tracking, and heatmap generation. It highlights the importance of a feedback loop and spatial-temporal processing in creating a bridge between gameplay and IoT, utilizing technologies such as complex event processing and stream processing. Additionally, it outlines an architecture for real-time data analytics, emphasizing the potential improvements in monitoring player performance, health, and overall game strategy.

Physical and Virtual
Worlds
๏ Sensors, actuators everywhere
๏ Internet connectivity
Improvement = IoT, Apps, and APIs
๏ Visualization Apps
๏ Control APIs

5. DEBS Challenge
• Bridge game play to Internet of Things
• Sensors in shoes, ball, goalie hands
• Analyze Soccer Game
• Spatial and Temporal Processing

Temporal Tracking
Spatial Tracking
• Each event includes the
location (x,y,z), time stamp,
velocity and acceleration
• Throughput 15,000 events per
second

12. Realizing Real-time Analytics
๏ Processing Data on the fly, while
storing a minimal amount of
information and responding fast
(from <1 ms to few seconds)
๏ Idea of Event streams
๏ A series of events in time
๏ Enabling technologies
๏ Stream Processing (Storm)
๏ Complex Event processing
(Siddhi)

13. Complex Event Processing

15. Complex Event
Processing
Stream Processing
•SQL like language
•Supports powerful
temporal operators
(e.g. windows, event
patterns)
•Focus on speed
•Harder to scale
•e.g. WSO2 CEP,
Streambase, Esper
•Operators connected
in a network, but you
have to write the logic
•Distributed by design
•Focus on reliability (do
not loose messages),
has transactions
•e.g. Storm, S4

16. Complex Event Processing Operators
๏ Filters or transformations (process a single event)
๏ from Ball[v>10] select .. insert into ..
๏ Windows + aggregation (track window of events: time, length)
๏ from Ball#window.time(30s) select avg(v) ..
๏ Joins (join two event streams to one)
๏ from Ball#window.time(30s) as b join Players as p on p.v
< b.v
๏ Patterns (state machine implementation)
๏ from Ball[v>10], Ball[v<10]*,Ball[v>10] select ..
๏ Event tables (map a database as an event stream)
๏ Define table HitV (v double) using .. db info ..

17. Usecase 1: Running Analysis
๏ Detect when speed crosses threshold limits
define partition player by Players .id;
from s = Players [v <= 1 or v > 11] ,
t = Players [v > 1 and v <= 11]+ ,
e = Players [v <= 1 or v > 11]
select s.ts as tsStart , e.ts as tsStop ,s.id as
playerId ,
‘‘trot" as intensity , t [0].v as instantSpeed
,
(e.ts - s.ts )/1000000000 as unitPeriod
insert into RunningStats partition by player;

18. Usecase 2: Ball possession
๏ Ball possession
๏ Defined as possessing the ball from time you hit it until someone else hit it or ball
leaves the ground)

19. Usecase 3: Heatmap of Activity
๏ Show where actions happened (via cells defined by a grid of
64X100 etc.), need updates once every second
๏ Can solved via cell change boundaries, but does not work if one player stays more than
1 sec in the same cell. So need to join with a timer.

20. Usecase 4: Detect kicks on goal
๏ Main Idea: Detect kicks on
the ball, calculate direction
after 1m, and keep giving
updates as long as it is in
right direction

29. Siddhi Storm Bolt (next Major Release)
๏ We have written a Siddhi bolt that would let users run
distributed Siddhi Queries using Storm
SiddhiBolt siddhiBolt1 = new SiddhiBolt( .. siddhi queries .. );
SiddhiBolt siddhiBolt2 = new SiddhiBolt( .. siddhi queries .. );
TopologyBuilder builder = new TopologyBuilder();
builder.setSpout("source", new PlayStream(), 1);
builder.setBolt("node1", siddhiBolt1, 1)
.shuffleGrouping("source", "PlayStream1");
..
builder.setBolt("LeafEacho", new EchoBolt(), 1)
.shuffleGrouping("node1", "LongAdvanceStream");
..
cluster.submitTopology("word-count", conf, builder.createTopology());
