“…The goal of SM is to provide solutions aimed to investigate, control, and predict Situations that are composite entities whose components are other entities, their attributes, and relationships in a time interval [1] [2]. To accomplish such a goal, SM-based solutions offer a global vision of Situations by collecting, correlating, and merging information from multientities, seeking to maximize the user comprehension and, so, supporting the opportune and correct decision making.…”

“…The Situation Management (SM) discipline provides solutions that enable analyzing, correlating, and coordinating interactions among people, information, technologies, and actions intended to overcome situations happening or that might happen in dynamic systems [1] [2]. SM foundations are [3]: (i) a Situation that is modeled as a collection of entities in a domain, their attributes, and relationships in a time interval, (ii) the investigative aspect related to retrospective cause analysis of Situations, (iii) the control aspect devised to change or preserve Situations; and (iv) the predictive aspect aimed to predict Situations.…”

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.

“…SM is considered a synergistic goal-directed process of (a) sensing and information collection, (b) perceiving and recognizing situations, (c) analyzing past situations and predicting future situations, and (d) reasoning, planning and implementing actions so that desired goal situation is reached within some pre-defined constraints [15] (see Fig. 1).…”

The Future Internet vision is tightly linked to the transition from a passive system in which users initiate activities to a proactive environment in which software agents find, organize and display information and services on behalf of users. Such applications must be highly proactive and support real-time contextualizations and dynamic situation sensing, processing and reaction. In this paper we discuss situation management as a framework especially useful in domains in which there is the need to automatically and continuously identify and act on complex, often incomplete and unpredictable, dynamic situations. We focus on applying situation management methods in demand response, an element of the emerging smart power grid. We outline an intelligent situation management approach and present an event-based software architecture for supporting demand response aspects of the smart grid.

“…REVIOUS work in situation management and event correlation by Jakobson, Buford, and Lewis [8][9] [10] identified the requirement for reactive processing incorporating other dimensions in addition to time. In applications such as disaster recovery, homeland security, and network centric warfare, entities of interest have complex properties and inter-relationships whose dimensions include spatial, structural, and domain-specific.…”

Spatial-Temporal Event Correlation

Temporal event correlation deals with removing temporally redundant events to produce synthesized events, simplifying downstream processing. In situation management applications and location-based services, it is necessary to incorporate spatial constraints into the correlation process. This requirement is difficult to meet because the traditional algorithms for spatial processing are not well-suited to spatial dynamics occurring in these applications. In this paper we formalize spatial-temporal event correlation compared to the functionality of temporal correlation, present an architecture for efficient implementation, analytically analyze the architecture's performance relative to two other designs, and describe a system design for efficiently supporting situation management applications and location-based services.
