Event Mining with Event Processing Networks

The underlying infrastructure provides an abstract communication mechanism and thus allows dynamic reconfiguration of the communication topology between agents at run-time and provides transparent, location-independent access to all data.

Abstract

Event Mining discovers information in a stream of data, or events, and delivers knowledge in real-time. Our event processing engine consists of a network of event processing agents (EPAs) running in parallel that interact using a dedicated event processing infrastructure. EPAs can be configured at run-time using a formal pattern language. The underlying infrastructure provides an abstract communication mechanism and thus allows dynamic reconfiguration of the communication topology between agents at run-time and provides transparent, location-independent access to all data. These features support dynamic allocation of EPAs to machines in a local area network at run time.
