Analysis and Visualisation of Geo-Referenced Tweets for Real-Time Information Diffusion
Akhil Puri, Pallavi Arora, Neetu Sardana · Procedia Computer Science · 2018
This paper focuses on techniques that can model information diffusion by the development of a prototype - a web application based on a JavaScript Web-client and a Java Enterprise Edition server. The motive is to use a distributed system, instead of a standalone/monolithic system, to present a new and unique way to visualise the data available through twitter, and analyze it to extract useful information. The prototype processes real-time data in the data stream with corresponding high processing speed and suitable communication patterns, with the use of hashtags to define the type of information to be analysed.
