Event Recognition and Resource Management
Event Recognition and Resource Management
PRONTO emphasizes the role of event recognition in intelligent resource management. The project proposes a methodology for fusing data from various sources, analysing it to extract useful information in the form of events. The resulting knowledge will be delivered for decision making, through a user-friendly intelligent resource management (IRM) service including a digital map interface (MAP).
PRONTO derives its motivation from the fact that today's organizations are able to collect data in various structured and unstructured digital formats, but they do not have the capability to fully utilize these data to support and improve their resource management process. It is evident that the analysis and interpretation of the collected data needs to be automated and transformed into operational knowledge.
Events are particularly important pieces of knowledge, as they represent the temporal nature of the processes taking place in an organisation. Therefore, the recognition of events is of outmost importance in resource management.
In order to achieve its objectives, PRONTO draws methods and expertise from the fields of data fusion, information extraction, temporal representation and reasoning, machine learning, and knowledge management systems.

Therefore, it is evident that the analysis and interpretation of the collected data needs to be automated and transformed into operational knowledge. Events are particularly important pieces of knowledge for resource management. PRONTO proposes the aforementioned synergy of techniques to facilitate the recognition of events from the collected raw data, that remain underutilized with current technologies. The PRONTO methodology to IRM comprises five main steps: (a) Aggregation of data from various sensors and communication between actors, e.g. fire-brigade officers. (b) Analysis of the data and extraction of 'low-level' events. (c) Recognition of 'high-level' events, using Dynamic fine-tuning of event models, using machine learning. The novelty of PRONTO lies in the difficult task of real-time, accurate recognition of complex events given multiple sources of information, including various types of sensor and modes of actor interaction. The usability and acceptance of the derived methods and tools in real-world environments will signal the success of the project. Progress will be measured by real end-users, participating actively, as consortium partners, in all stages of the development of the project.
