  • Publication number: 20060265397
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for extensible, profile- and context-based information correlation, routing, and distribution are disclosed. According to one system, source plug-ins receive output from a plurality of different sensors. A content manager merges data from individual sensors together with metadata that is representative of a context and aggregates the sensor data and the context metadata into knowledge items. A scenario engine achieves sensor fusion by comparing the sensor data and its context metadata against a defined set of policies and/or rules and provides for performance of an action when a rule or policy is satisfied.
