Abstract
A system (10) for receiving measurement data wherein there is a processing means of the measurement data to create or update at least two models (28) where each model is a representation of a real-world object, event or phenomenon. There is a means for processing the characteristics (32) of the models to establish relationships (34) between the models and to generate alarms (40) when the relationships meet a certain criteria.

36. A method comprising:
-
receiving measurement data; processing the measurement data to be categorised as being related to one or more models of a real-world thing, wherein the one or more related models are associated with a geographical characteristic based on the measurement data, wherein each geographic characteristic comprises an area or volume of relevance and a geographic location of the area or volume of relevance; processing the geographical characteristics associated with the models to determine whether any of the areas or volumes of relevance intersect or are within a specified proximity; and generating an alert when there is an intersection or the volumes of relevance are determined to be within the proximity.

38. A system comprising:
-
an object creator which triggers creation of a plurality of objects, each object being created when input data meets object creation criteria, wherein the created objects are at least two models of a real-world things, at least one new relationship between the models and an alert generator; a processor module for each of the created objects, each processor module receives data, processes the data including applying criteria to the received data, and stores the processed data; and at least one electronic processor configured to execute the processor module for each of the created objects; wherein when the created object is a model object, the received data is measurement data, the criteria is one or more rules that reflect that the measurement data is relevant to a characteristic of the real-world thing represented by the model and the stored data is characteristics of the model based on the measurement data; wherein when the created object is a relationship object, the received data is the model characteristics, the criteria is one or more rules that reflect that the real-world thing of one model has an influence over, relevance to or is related to the real-world thing of another model and the stored data is relationship properties based on the relevant model characteristics, wherein when the created object is an alert generator object, the received data is the relationship properties, the criteria is one or more rules that reflect the relationship between the modelled real world things is significant and the stored data is an alert based on the relationship properties.
