An event-driven architecture for spatio-temporal surveillance of business activities

Abstract

The SECAIR project provides an event-driven architecture for critical environments. It deals with context awareness issues and surveillance of moving objects in real-time. The proposed architecture adopts a data fusion process to handle with location based data. It is therefore well-suited for business activity monitoring, supporting managers at analysing and processing complex event streams in real-time. A prototype applied to the surveillance of situation awareness for airport environments is presented. The main goal is to monitor for events in very congested areas for indoor and outdoor areas. The SECAIR system provides a collaborative environment for a better management of ground handling operations, in compliance with existing business rules. An advanced Graphical-User Interface with geographical and analytical capabilities is also presented. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
