PRONTO

PRONTO emphasizes the role of event recognition in intelligent resource management (IRM) and proposes a methodology for fusing data from various sources, analyzing it to extract useful information in the form of events and delivering the resulting knowledge for decision making, through a user-friendly IRM application. In order to achieve this objective, PRONTO draws methods and expertise from the fields of data fusion, information extraction, temporal representation and reasoning, machine learning, and knowledge management systems.

Noldus' main work focuses on aggregation and processing of sensor and geographical data. The research and development objectives are:

1. to extend The Observer^® XT to make it suitable for detailed analysis of the PRONTO signals and events
2. a tool for detailed analysis of geographical data which can generate spatial events as well
3. a framework for event handling and multi modal data integration and control, i.e. to enable high level event recognition based on reasoning algorithms
