Increased situational awareness is a key factor for the success of todays business. iGSI conducts research and provides services in the field of geospatial Event Processing and Event Architectures to improve the timeliness, relevance, accuracy and completeness of mission critical information.
Systems that need to respond to unanticipated, exceptional events as soon as possible are candidates for augmentation with Event Processing functionality. iGSI contributes to the standardization and implementation of geospatial Event Processing in the fields of Early Warning, Resource Management and Monitoring. Examples of suitable application domains are Aviation, Meteorology, Water and Energy Management, Emergency Management, Earthquake Warning as well as Building, Traffic and Security Monitoring - to name but a few.
Research and leveraging results on IT architectures in a variety of civil and military sectors, such as emergency management, climate change, or surveillance.
Gathering and combination of data from multiple sources in order to efficiently and accurately infer new information and knowledge.
Identification of meaningful events, analysis of their impact, processing of resulting actions, and dispatching of new events in complex systems.
Development of standards in the geospatial domain to achieve interoperability between systems and to realize efficient systems of systems.
