Open and scalable IoT platform and its applications for real time access line monitoring and alarm correlation

Abstract

We present an open intelligent communication platform that can be used to support various usage scenarios related to future internet of things. Its purpose is twofold: to support fusion of large amounts of data, irrespective of their source or structure and to provide users or devices with semantically analysed and enriched data according to their needs and context. Using the platform, users are able to access enriched data, receive warnings and notifications about events recognised by the system. We present applications for the real time access line monitoring and alarm correlation that respond to telecommunications operators' needs in the field of proactive line measurement in enabling the helpdesk and field technical teams to pinpoint the cause of service degradations. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
