Talk Title: Flexible Management of Event Processing Applications for the (Industrial) Internet of Things

Series: AI Seminar

Abstract: Gathering and processing events from cyber-physical systems provides users with the opportunity to continuously be aware of current performance indicators and potentially upcoming issues as well as to optimize production and maintenance processes. In this context, Event Processing has become an established technology to process high-frequency event streams in real-time while providing capabilities to detect event patterns based on spatial, temporal or causal relationships.
However, although event processing applications are often highly dynamic in regard to oftentimes changing requirements of observed situations as well as frequent syntactic and semantic changes of incoming sensor data, current technologies still suffer from high technical complexity making the development of real-time applications a time-consuming task due to slow development cycles.
In this talk, we discuss methods and tools supporting the management of event processing applications. We present a lightweight, semantics-based model to describe event sources such as sensors, event processing agents and consumers and an approach that enables application specialists to define and execute event processing pipelines in a self-service manner. The approach is illustrated based on two IoT scenarios: integrated monitoring of manufacturing processes and disruption management in supply chains. In the beginning, selected research activities at Institutes AIFB and KSRI at KIT as well as at FZI will be outlined.
