The ability to monitor activities during execution and deal with events immediately, before they affect operations. Real-time monitors and triggers can catch emerging problems at the first signs. Execution monitoring can alert operators about unstable or undesirable conditions, which enables rapid resolution long before the event data makes it into your legacy systems. Intelligent systems can also take advantage of advanced reasoning features to predict and take preventive actions before problems occur.

The ability to gather and process data from multiple diverse sources. Most legacy systems cannot reason about the reliability of source data, which makes it impossible to unlock the meaning of data. Intelligent agent-based middleware, on the other hand, know what to do with that data to make it meaningful…to filter and reason about that data in a context that is relevant to your current situation and to the current user, and to update that information continuously as the situation changes.

The ability to build an accurate, integrated picture that gives real time visibility into your enterprise operations to support effective decision-making and eliminates overload of irrelevant data. The key to ‘situation aware’ applications is not just in collecting and disseminating data, but it is actually in getting the right information to the right users at the right time, your business ‘knowledge.’ In your enterprise, various sensors and other data sources collect your data. Translating raw data into information that is relevant to the current situation, that is, domain-specific knowledge, is critical. Semantic concepts and data ontologies are essential to this process because semantics provide an understanding of the overall concept of a situation versus a one-dimensional understanding of individual objects. Semantics make situational software more useful because they consider knowledge of the application domain.

The ability to easily share information and coordinate changes across your enterprise. Our solutions enable secure and selective data sharing with customers, partners, and other sites, which allow you to find new opportunities for improvement and expansion. They also enable easy collaboration, optimized operations, and development of more accurate plans and projections. You and your partners can collaborate and share capabilities to reduce mutual cost, time, and manpower.

The ability to emulate the way humans observe, reason, plan, act, and monitor at computer speeds. Our solutions use a distributed intelligent agent architecture that is based on the human cognitive model of reasoning and planning. This advanced software model captures human behavior and allows you to automate the complex processes humans do everyday more realistically and robustly than other traditional systems.

The ability to handle massive amounts of data across the enterprise while providing more efficient processing. Agent solutions by definition are distributed across a wide global network allowing easily scalable and autonomous components to be accessed through the Web. With an agent-based approach, each agent is itself a Web Server and can gather, fuse and present information to other agents, systems, and users on demand or proactively.
