Stream Reasoning Use Case Meeting (Frankfurt, 11-12.4.2011)

Meeting Invitation Letter

As you may know, stream processing has a long lasting history. In the last years, data and text stream processing has been gaining momentum.

As E. Della Valle, S. Ceri. F. Van Harmelen and D. Fensel wrote last year on IEEE Intelligent System, we are living in a streaming world that calls for stream computing solutions.

A small bunch of stream processing high-tech startups (e.g., Streambase by M. Stonebrakers) are gaining information integration market shares. This forced large DB players to add stream processing facilities to their products (e.g., IBM with Infosphere/stream).

While this products are becoming main streams, the need to connect them to decision support system is arising. We claim that the gap between current data and text stream processing solutions and effective decision support system is a new kind of automated reasoning tailored to stream.

We named this little explored yet high-impact research area Stream Reasoning and we defined it as:

"logical reasoning in real time on gigantic and inevitably noisy data streams in order to support the decision process of extremely large numbers of concurrent users."

If we catch your interest and you believe to have a use case that fits the problem space we have just identified, join us in Frankfurt on 11-12.4.2011.
