Event Processing for Maritime Situational Awareness

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Numerous illegal and dangerous activities take place at sea, including violations of ship emission rules, illegal fishing, illegal discharges of oil and garbage, smuggling, piracy and more. We present our efforts to combine two stream reasoning technologies for detecting such activities in real time: a formal, computational framework for composite maritime event recognition, based on the Event Calculus, and an industry-strong maritime anomaly detection service, capable of processing daily real-world data volumes.
