Research at ISDB Transfer of ENS concepts

• A-medias Adaptive Integrating ENS
• Integration interacting events from different
  sources, e.g., composite events combined from
  different sources
• Adaptation to various source semantics, changing
  sources, changing applications, changing workload
• Examples notify
• ... about air conditioning failure
• ... if a sensor did not send for more than 30 min
• about a broken window and subsequent presence
  detector signal
