1. A method for situation monitoring, the method comprising:
- processing information indicative of an occurrence of events to detect an occurrence of at least one situation that belongs to a situation set;
wherein the detections is responsive to a current rule set;
wherein at least one rule sub-set out of the rule set defines at least one relationship between events that should occur within a lifespan;
receiving a request to update a first rule; and
updating the first rule to provide a first updated rule while continuing to detect an occurrence of situations not affected by the update of the first rule.

7. A computer program product comprising a computer useable medium including a computer readable program, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to:
-
process information indicative of an occurrence of events to detect an occurrence of at least one situation that belongs to a situation set;
receive a request to update a situation characteristic of at least a first situation that belongs to the situation set;
wherein the definition of the first situation comprises at least one relationship between multiple events that should occur within a certain lifespan; and
update a current definition of the first situation to provide an updated situation definition while continuing to process information indicative of an occurrence of events to detect an occurrence of a second situation that belongs to the situation set. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A situation monitoring system, the system comprising:
-
at least one input adapted to receive information indicative of an occurrence of events and to receive a request to update a situation characteristic of at least a first situation that belongs to the situation set;
wherein the definition of the first situation comprises at least one relationship between multiple events that should occur within a certain lifespan; and
a processor, adapted to process the received information to detect an occurrence of at least one situation that belongs to a situation set;
to update a current definition of the first situation to provide an updated situation definition while continuing to process information indicative of an occurrence of events to detect an occurrence of a second situation that belongs to the situation set. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
