Probabilistic Complex Event Triggering

2008-09-21 06:17:56 by Tim Bass in The Complex Event Processing Blog
 
...sensor devices have been widely deployed in various application settings (including environmental research, control systems, etc.). Because of the inherent unreliability of sensor readings, any kind of reasoning in sensor environments needs to carefully account for noise. The key goal of pcet is to build an infrastructure that can...

Object Refinement in CEP: Tracking Temperatures

2008-08-07 13:39:29 by Tim Bass in The Complex Event Processing Blog
 
...sensor data fusionfield (and here at The CEP Blog)refer to as event (object)refinement , sometimes called track and trace The reason we call this processing function event (object) refinement is that, in the way the use case was described in the press release, the medical staff are basically tracking body temperature and comparing it to a key...

How we tested Check Point's IPS

2008-08-04 00:00:00 by Joel Snyder in Network World on Security
 
We installed the Check Point IPS-1 Sensor 200C on our production network. The IPS-1 Sensor 200C has four IPS interfaces which are paired into two sets of fail-open (or fail-closed, if you want) Gigabit Ethernet ports

...sensor, 3.6x zoom lens, and 3-inch LCD screen, as well as vibration reduction, and up to an effective 3200 ISO Oddly, Nikon also announced the $500 P6000 with a built-in GPS receiver, 13.5 MP sensor, 4x zoom, and effective 6400 ISO--and a built-in Ethernet jack. Which is a very weird choice. I know Wi-Fi adds cost and reduces battery...

...sensors able to detect even light residues of radioactive material. Because cell phones already contain global positioning locators, the network of phones would serve as a tracking system, said physics professor Ephraim Fischbach. Fischbach is working with Jere Jenkins, director of Purdue's radiation laboratories within the School of Nuclear...
