EnviroStream: A Stream Reasoning Benchmark for Climate and Ambient Monitoring

Stream Reasoning (SR) focuses on developing advanced approaches for applying inference to dynamic data streams; it has become increasingly relevant in various application scenarios such as IoT, Smart Cities, Emergency Management, and Healthcare, despite being a relatively new field of research.

The current lack of standardized formalisms and benchmarks has been hindering the comparison between different SR approaches. 
We propose a new benchmark, called EnviroStream, for evaluating SR systems on weather and environmental data from two European cities. 

The benchmark includes queries and datasets of different sizes. We adopt I-DLV-sr, a recently released SR system based on Answer Set Programming, as a baseline experiment. We illustrate how the queries can be modeled via I-DLV-sr input language and report evaluation times. We also assess continuous online reasoning via a web application.
