Application of Complex Event Processing in the Express Business Automation

Complex Event Processing (CEP) is a promising technology that deals with event stream in a cenralized manner. But in some application scenario such as the express delivery business, business-related data is scattered in the network and must be obtained by request. For the purpose of resolving the difficulty to utilize and process such distributed infomation, the paper comprehensively utilizes various advanced technologies to design an automation Internet of Things (IoT) framework which can provide the rich-semantic complex events to the senior application. Firstly, this paper proposes the framework which can realize the automatic recognition of the parcel and positive request for the associated semantic data. Secondly, a hierarchical modularized ontology is established for the sake of sharing the background knowledge. Finally, we have implemented a prototype system with the proposed object and semantic event model and detection method. Test results from simulation data indicate that the system can operation stably and response quickly to express delivery business.
