“…Jakobson et al [1] described the critical aspects of situation management as "managing and controlling sources of information, processing real-time or near real-time streams of events, representing and integrating lower level events and higher level concepts, multi-source information fusion, information presentation that maximizes human comprehension, and reasoning about what is happening and what is important." They defined a situation a s a "large number of dynamic objects that change state in time and space and engage each other into complex spatio-temporal relationships".…”

Abstract-Situation Management is a rapidly developing science combining new techniques for data collection with advanced methods of data fusion to facilitate the process leading to correct decisions prescribing action. Current research focuses on reducing increasing amounts of diverse data to knowledge used by decision makers and on reducing time between observations, decisions and actions.No new technology is more promising for increasing the diversity and fidelity of observations than sensor networks. However, current research on sensor networks concentrates on a centralized network architecture. We believe this trend will not realize the full potential of situation management.We propose a new architecture modeled after biological ecosystems where motes are autonomous and intelligent, yet cooperate with local neighborhoods. Providing a layered approach, they sense and act independently when possible, and cooperate with neighborhoods when necessary. The combination of their local actions results in global effects.While situation management research is currently dominated by military applications, advances envisioned for industrial and business applications have similar requirements. NASA has requirements for intelligent and autonomous systems in future missions that can benefit from advances in situation management. We describe requirements for the Integrated Vehicle Health Management program where our biology-inspired architecture provides a layered approach and decisions can be made at the proper level to improve safety, reduce costs, and improve efficiency in making diagnostic and prognostic assessments of the structural integrity, aerodynamic characteristics, and operation of aircraft.

-Situation management is a rapidly evolving science where managed sources are processed as realtime streams of events and fused in a way that maximizes comprehension, thus enabling better decisions for action. Sensor networks provide a new technology that promises ubiquitous input and action throughout an environment, which can substantially improve information available to the process. Here we describe a NASA program that requires improvements in sensor networks and situation management. We present an approach for massively deployed sensor networks that does not rely on centralized control but is founded in lessons learned from the way biological ecosystems are organized. In this approach, fully distributed data aggregation and integration can be performed in a scalable fashion where individual motes operate based on local information, making local decisions that achieve globally-meaningful results. This exemplifies the robust, fault-tolerant infrastructure required for successful situation management systems.

The work performed by network administrators to address sudden, dynamic, heterogeneous, and time specific situations that happen in the network management domain is complex. In this paper, we introduce an approach that allows network administrators to overcome the complexity of handling these network management situations (called NMSits). The approach is made up of Mashments that are special mashups used to cope with NMSits, the process to develop and execute Mashments, and the Mashment Maker that supports such model and process. We use IT Service Management metrics to evaluate our approach, measuring the complexity of facing, with and without the Maker, a specific NMSit that occurs in several networks based on the Software Defined Networking paradigm. The evaluation results demonstrate that the complexity decreases when network administrators use our approach to handle NMSits.
