Paper: Complex Event Processing approach for strategic intelligence

Authors: Nicolas Museux, Juliette Mattioli, Claire Laudy and Helene Soubaras

Abstract: One of the key issues of strategic intelligence within a crisis situation is to build an early assessment of the situation, based on a context sensitive information interpretation and through a well constructed situation representation. Our proposal is based on the conjunction of a conceptual modelling to represent situations out of document analysis and a reactive rule-based modelling to analyse them according to a domain knowledge and a goal. This paper focuses on this Situation Analysis process. But we present our global approach and sum-up the Situation Representation and its objectives. We introduce the Complex Event Processing formalism used for the analysis and dynamic recognition of such situations. We illustrate our approach through a case study taken from what happened during the energy crisis in California in 2001.

Presenter Biography: Dr. Nicolas Museux is a research scientist in the PLATON lab, at THALES Research and Technology. He had his engineering diploma in computer science in 1998. Then he started his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics, Computer Science Systems and Control at the Computer Science Center of e’Ecole des Mines de Paris, and THALES Research and Technology. His Ph.D. focused on the application of constraint programming in distributing low-level digital signal processing programs onto multiprocessors architectures, to optimize data management and computing duration. After he obtained his Ph.D. in 2001, he worked until the end of 2004 on several projects in the PLATON lab linked with combinatorial optimization. Since 2005, Dr. Nicolas MUSEUX works on the Situation understanding research program. Its objectives are to identify, to specify and to design tools for situation model based reasoning in order to address situation analysis, risk assessment and situation projection.
