Events provide a fundamental abstraction for representing time-evolving information. Complex event recognition focuses on tracking and analysing streams of events, in order to detect patterns of special significance. The event streams may originate from various types of sensor, such as cameras and GPS sensors. Furthermore, the stream velocity and volume pose significant challenges to event proc...

This paper describes health informatics as a field of research and some of the challenges that are faced when designing a complex event processing middleware gathering input from multiple legacy sources in a hospital environment. The goal of the system is to reduce the need for synchronous communication between medical stakeholders by creating a situational awareness and thereby cause fewer int...

In this paper we present a novel approach for achieving energy efficiency in public buildings (especially sensor-enabled offices) based on the application of intelligent complex event processing and semantic technologies. In the nutshell of the approach is an efficient method for realizing the real-time situational awareness that helps in recognizing the situations where a more efficient energy...
