Patent number: 10372473Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for virtualizing physical sensors and providing sensor data to a requestor using the virtualized physical sensors. The mechanisms obtain sensor data from a plurality of physical sensors and storing the sensor data in a virtual sensor storage system of the data processing system in at least one standardized format. A request from a requestor for a first type of sensor data is received which does not specify a particular physical sensor. A portion of the sensor data stored in the virtual sensor storage system is retrieved in response to receiving the request, the portion of sensor data corresponding to the type of sensor data requested in the request from the requestor. The retrieved portion of the sensor data is returned to the requestor in a format corresponding to a physical sensor configured to provide the requested type of sensor data.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2016Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Marion L.

Patent number: 7613808Abstract: A system and method for enhancing event correlation with exploitation of external data is presented. A correlation engine receives events and selects a correlation rule that corresponds to the events. The correlation rule includes an event selection, a trigger condition, and a correlation conclusion. The correlation engine uses the event selection to access external data and select events based upon the external data. In turn, the correlation engine monitors the selected events and checks whether they meet the correlation rule's trigger condition. When the events meet the correlation rule's trigger condition, the correlation engine performs an action based upon the correlation rule's correlation condition.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2005Date of Patent: November 3, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Carlos Cesar Ferreira Araujo, Ana Claudia Biazetti, Anthony Bussani, John E.

Publication number: 20080256395Abstract: A method, system and computer program product for analyzing a state changing event are disclosed. According to an embodiment, a method for analyzing a state changing event comprises: detecting a state changing event of a first resource; tracing a dependence link beginning at the first resource to a resource that the first resource depends on until finding a second resource having a state changing event that is not dependent on any resource with a state changing event; and identifying the state changing event of the second resource as a root cause incident for analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2007Publication date: October 16, 2008Inventors: Carlos C.
