Abstract

The processing of geo-spatial events plays an increasingly important role in constructing enterprise applications that can immediately react to business critical events. In this paper we introduce spatial extensions to the event processing model, starting from the introduction of geo-spatial main concepts, and moving through the life-cycle of event processing application development and discuss spatial event representation, spatial contexts and spatial extensions to event processing patterns. The paper also discusses several use cases from various domains that may benefit from the use of spatial extensions of event processing.
