Logistics: Transport companies can optimise their networks in real time.
IT Services: Complex IT infrastructures can be managed in real time according to the current load and available resources.
Social media: Companies can react in real time to relevant social media dialogues on Twitter etc. and intervene, for example before the situation escalates.
Health care system: Health insurance companies and other health associations can offer their members applications. In addition to the evaluation of data of wearable body sensors, these applications provide external knowledge that is processed in real time by the recording of data of other users. Thus, the health associations and health insurance companies can promote healthy sporting activities.
Of course, we take into consideration the requirements of data protection and security within all of our projects and applications.
At the FZI, we realise real time reactivity through complex event processing (CEP) on data streams with high throughput. Thus, our strength is to consider the life cycle of such systems from a holistic perspective – starting with intuitive, user-friendly modelling of situations that must be recognised in real time due to their criticality, to the automated refinement of event rules and through to the detection of complex situations and events that could not be processed in real time yet. The aim of the integration of semantic technologies into real time processing is to recognise the exact situation that is of interest in the respective context.
In the field of real time capability, we can fall back on varied experiences gained in national and international research projects as well as in industry-related projects with small and medium-sized enterprises and concerns.
It does not make a difference whether the relevant data streams are generated by sensors, the web or business applications. For instance, in the EU project ALERT data was integrated from various collaboration systems such as wikis, message boards and source code managements in order to minimise the coordination effort in software development projects. In the project PLAY a marketplace was created out of the Internet of Things and social media sources in order to link data sources in real time. In another project of the FZI in cooperation with EnBW, a German energy supply company, the focus lied on the application of complex event processing in the context of smart grids.
