The interaction between language and perception networks in the brain can hold the key to the biological bases of language evolution. In language, every sentence is built around a verb, which describes an event. During perception, humans constantly and automatically segment reality into individualized event (verb) units. The cognitive connection between the perceptual segmentation of events and...

Ontology Design Patterns show promise in enabling simpler, faster, more correct Ontology Engineering by laymen and experts alike. Evaluation of such patterns has typically been performed in experiments set up with artificial scenarios and measured by quantitative metrics and surveys. This paper presents an observational case study of content pattern usage in configuration of an event processing...

The Smart Grid will largely increase the amount of measurement data that needs to be processed on distribution grid level in order to fulfill the promised smart behavior. Many modern information systems are capable of handling the produced data amounts quite well. However they are usually highly specialized systems that are costly to change or limited to very basic analytical tasks. We aim to o...

The FERARI project aims to develop a highly scalable distributed streaming architecture supporting complex event processing in a communication-efficient manner. Two key requirements for our system are that its architecture is not tied to the underlying streaming platform used in its implementation and that it allows the easy definition of communication-efficient methods for monitoring a global ...

This abstract describes an approach for stratified implementation of event processing network; the abstract explains the motivation, outlines the reasoning behind this approach and provides initial experimentation. General Terms Performance, Design, Experimentation.

Event Processing is an emerging area in the IT industry, evident by the burst of products, and attention given by analysts, venture capitals and enterprises. One of the notable characteristics of event processing is its close relation to temporal aspects. One can view event processing as getting a decision that is based on looking at the history of transitions in the domain of discourse. This g...

The challenge for public health officials is to detect an emerging foodborne disease outbreak from a large set of simple and isolated, domainspecific events. These events can be extracted from a large number of distinct information systems such as surveillance and laboratory reporting systems from health care providers, real-time complaint hotlines from consumers, and inspection reporting syste...

In this paper we present a demo for efficient detecting of visitor’s attention in museum environment based on the application of intelligent complex event processing and semantic technologies. The detection takes advantage of semantics: (i) in design time for the correlation of sensors’ data via modeling of the interesting situations and annotation of artworks and their parts and (ii) in real-t...

The increasing complexity of spatio-temporal applications has caused the underlying queries to be more sophisticated and usually carry complex semantics. As a result, the traditional spatio-temporal query types, e.g., range, kNN, and aggregation queries, have become just building blocks in more complex query plans. In this paper, we present the STEPQ system, which is an extensible spatio-tempor...

The operation ‘·’, often called fusion is distributive over join. In finite residuated lattices, fusion and join determine residuation uniquely, although residuation cannot be defined equationally from other operations. The class R of residuated lattices is a variety. It is arithmetical, has CEP, and is generated by its finite members (cf. [7]). It is also congruence 1-regular, i.e., for any co...
