1. Requirements
These define what the system must achieve and what resources it needs.
Continuous and real-time data collection from multiple sources
(sensors, devices, logs).
High throughput and low latency for timely decision-making.
Scalable architecture to handle varying data loads.
Fault tolerance and data reliability.
Security and privacy of streaming data (especially in healthcare).
Integration with existing databases or control systems.
2. Design
Design focuses on how the system is structured to meet the requirements.
Data Flow Design: Defines how data moves from sources →
processing → output.
Processing Components: Filtering, aggregation, pattern detection,
and prediction using analytics or AI.
Architecture: Uses stream processing frameworks (e.g., Apache
Kafka, Spark Streaming, InfoSphere Streams).
Storage Design: Temporary in-memory storage for fast access;
historical storage for trend analysis.
Scalability: Modular design to easily add or remove data streams.
3. Evaluation
This step checks how well the system performs and meets its goals.
Performance Metrics: Throughput, latency, response time, and
scalability.
Accuracy: Correctness of event detection, prediction, or alerts.
Reliability: Ability to handle data loss, node failures, and recover
quickly.
Efficiency: Optimal use of computing and storage resources.
User Feedback: Validation of usability and usefulness in real
scenarios.
4. User Interface (UI)
The UI provides an interactive platform for users to visualize and control the
analytics system.
Dashboards: Display real-time data trends, alerts, and system status.
Visualization Tools: Graphs, charts, and gauges for monitoring key
parameters.
Alert System: Color codes, pop-ups, or notifications for abnormal
conditions.
Control Panel: Allows manual intervention or configuration (especially
in industrial control systems).
Accessibility: Simple, clear, and responsive design for different users
(operators, doctors, engineers).
