Complex Event Processing approach for Strategic Intelligence

One of the key issues of strategic intelligence within a crisis situation is to build an early assessment of the situation, based on a context sensitive information interpretation and through a well constructed situation representation. Our proposal is based on the conjunction of a conceptual modelling to represent situations out of document analysis and a reactive rule-based modelling to analyze them according to a domain knowledge and a goal. This paper focuses on this situation analysis process. But we present our global approach and sum-up the situation representation and its objectives. We introduce the complex event processing formalism used for the analysis and dynamic recognition of such situations. We illustrate our approach through a case study taken from what happened during the energy crisis in California in 2001
