“…The stream of tags read by various sensors is stored in a relation SIGHTING(t, tID, aID), which denotes that the RFID tag tID was detected by antenna aID at time t. Since an RFID antenna has only a certain probability of reading a tag within its range, the PEEX system [13] processes the On Probabilistic Models for Uncertain Sequential Pattern Mining 3 SIGHTING relation to output an uncertain higher-level event relation such as MEETING(time, person1, person2, room, prob). An example tuple in MEETING could be (103, 'Alice', 'Bob', 435, 0.4), which means that at time 103, PEEX believes that Alice and Bob are having a meeting (event) with probability 0.4 in room 435 (source) [13]; since antennae are at xed locations, the source is certain but the event is uncertain.…”
