Situation Management: Basic Concepts and Approaches

This paper scopes the issues of Situation Management in dynamic systems, defines the basic concepts of Situation Management, and identifies several key enabling technologies. Particular focus of the paper is given to situation modeling. The paper reviews major aspects of situation modeling and discusses associated technologies, including Situation Calculus, Situation Semantics, Situation Control, Situation Awareness and others. In more detail we discuss an approach to situation management based on multi-agent systems, event correlation and case-based reasoning.
