Abstract: Methods and apparatus for providing access in an event detection and tracking system are disclosed, where the event detection and tracking system is adapted for storing data associated with a plurality of detected events. An access request for access to at least a portion of data associated with one of the plurality of detected events is received and access information associated with the access request is obtained. It is then determined from the access information whether to provide access to at least a portion of the data associated with one of the plurality of detected events. When it is determined from the access information that access to at least a portion of the data is to be provided, access is provided in accordance with the access information.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for sending a notification message in accordance with a set of notification preferences. The notification message is sent upon the detection of an event or satisfaction of a condition with respect to a detected event. The set of notification preferences may indicate a desired notification medium via which the notification message is to be sent, a notification addressee to which the notification message is to be sent, and/or a notification timing preference indicating a date and/or time during which the notification is to be sent (or received).

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for implementing a system for monitoring data for detection of events and tracking data associated with detected events are disclosed. A system for monitoring data for detection of events may include a data modification module and an event monitoring module. In one embodiment, the data modification module is adapted for obtaining data including one or more values and flagging at least a portion of the data to identify one or more attributes that together define an event. The event monitoring module is coupled to the data modification module and adapted for monitoring at least a portion of the flagged data produced by the data modification module for detection of one or more events. The system may further include a notification module adapted for sending a notification of a detected event in accordance with a set of notification preferences. Moreover, a collaboration module may be adapted for providing a graphical user interface including data associated with one or more detected events.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for monitoring data for detection of various events. More particularly, an agent is adapted for monitoring data indicating one or more events associated therewith. Through monitoring this data, one or more of a specified set of events are detected within the data. A message indicating that one or more of the specified set of events has been detected is then sent.
