Structured Processing for Complex Events
Multi-level inference in a distributed event-decision architectures
Level 5 – User Interface
Human visualization, interaction and situation management
Level 4 – Process Refinement
Decide on control feedback, for example resource allocation, sensor management, parametric and algorithm adjustment
Level 3 – Impact Assessment
Impact threat assessment, i.e. assess intent on the basis of situation development, recognition and prediction
Level 2 – Situation Refinement
Identify situations based on sets of complex events
Level 1 – Event Refinement
Identify events & make initial decisions based on association and correlation
Level 0 – Event Preprocessing
Cleansing of event-stream to produce semantically understandable data
Level of Inference Low Med High
