Aiming to solve the problem, amultiple-pattern complex event matching model based on merge sharing is proposed inthis paper. The achievement of the paper lies in the fact that a multiple-pattern complexevent matching model based on merge sharing is presented to successfully realize thequick matching of related primitive events for multiple complex events from the massiveevent streams. Specifically, in our scheme, we successfully use merge sharing technologyto merge all the same prefixes, suffixes or subpatterns existing in single-pattern matchingmodels into shared ones and to construct a multiple-pattern complex event matchingmodel. As a result, our proposed matching model in this paper can effectively solve theabove problem. The experimental results show that our proposed matching model in thispaper outperforms the existing single-pattern matching models in model constructionand related events matching for massive event streams.展开更多

The potential/stream function is used to analyze the upstream ＂strong signals＂ of the water vapor transport in the Tibetan Plateau （TP）. The studied time period covers from 2000 LST 5 July to 2000 LST 15 July （temporal resolution： 6 hours）. By analyzing the three-dimensional structure of the water vapor flux, vorticity and divergence prior to and during the heavy rainfall event, the upstream ＂strong signals＂ related to this heavy rainfall event are revealed. A strong correlation exists between the heavy rainfall event in the YRB and the convective clouds over the TE The ＂convergence zone＂ of the water vapor transport is also identified, based on correlation analysis of the water vapor flux two days and one day prior to, and on the day of, the heavy rainfall. And this ＂convergence zone＂ coincides with the migration of the maximum rainfall over the YRB. This specific coupled structure actually plays a key role in generating heavy rainfall over the YRB. The eastward movement of the coupled system with a divergence]convergence center of the potential function at the upper/lower level resembles the spatiotemporal evolution of the heavy rainfall event over the YRB. These upstream ＂strong signals＂ are clearly traced in this study through analyzing the three-dimensional structure of the potential/stream function of upstream water vapor transport.展开更多

Diverse networks and ap-plications log their events in many different formats, and this makes it difficult to identify the type of logs being received by the central repository. The way events are logged by IT systems is problematic for developers of host-based intrusion-detection systems （specifically, host-based systems）, develop-ers of security-information systems, and developers of event-management systems. These problems preclude the develop-ment of more accurate, intrusive security solutions that obtain results from data included in the logs being processed. We propose a new method for dynamically normalizing events into a unified super-event that is loosely based on the Common Event Expression standard developed by Mitre Corporation. We explain how our solution can normalize seemingly unrelat-ed events into a single, unified format.展开更多

These streams include many long-lasting events which have certain durations. The temporal relationships among those interval-based events are often complex. Meanwhile, network latencies and machine failures in intelligent manufacturing may cause events to be out-of-order. This topic has rarely been discussed because most existing methods do not consider both interval-based and out-of-order events. In this work, we analyze the preliminaries of event temporal semantics. A tree-plan model of interval-based out-of-order events is proposed. A hybrid solution is correspondingly introduced. Extensive experimental studies demonstrate the efficiency of our approach.展开更多

In this paper, complex event processing(CEP) based RFID-enabled retail store management is studied, particularly focusing on automated shelf replenishment decisions. We define different types of event queries to describe retailer store workflow action over the RFID data streams on multiple tagging levels(e.g., item level and container level). Non-deterministic finite automata(NFA)based evaluation models are used to detect event patterns. To manage pattern match results in the process of event detection, optimization algorithm is applied in the event model to share event detection results. A simulated RFID-enabled retail store is used to verify the effectiveness of the method, experiment results show that the algorithm is effective and could optimize retail store management workflow.展开更多
