Data processing and observation system
First Claim
1. A system for data processing and observation having a data processing architecture comprisingone or more data processing components associated with a logical level such thata data processing component associated with a logical level only accepts input from one or more data processing components in a logically higher or lower logical level or an external source;
- a data processing component associated with a logical level only provides output to one or more data processing components in a logically higher or lower level or an external recipient system;
wherein a data processing component can not accept input or provide output from or to a data processing component in the same logical level; and
a data processing component will only accept an input that conforms to an ontology related to the logical level with which the data processing component is associated; and
an external recipient system for providing a human-observable representation of one or more virtual objects that are mapped from a representation of a real or virtual object to a virtual object in one or more universes comprisingone or more observing subsystems to provide the human-observable representation of said one or more virtual objects and thus respective universes to which said virtual object is mapped, andan interface device configured to receive control information indicating a position from which to represent said virtual objects in a respective universe and based thereon, to control said one or more observing sub-systems.

Abstract
An observation paradigm that works with a collection of the abovementioned elements, to provide a way of observing information infrastructures and data movement in a chosen time frame. The user (human observer) is provided sophisticated controls and interaction mechanisms that will make it easier for them to detect computer network intrusion and critical security management events in real time as well as allow them to better analyze past events. Embodiments may include various combinations of a framework for “intelligent agents”; an event handling system and a high-performance multi-layer observation facility presenting the user with a semantically dense depiction of an information source under consideration, such as a computer network.

11. A system for event processing and observation having an event-handling system that receives from one or more sources one or more events, each event having associated therewith by the issuing source one of an ordered data value and a semantic, wherein said event-handling system makes available one or more events to one or more recipient systems, said event-handling system comprises
one or more event queues having a predetermined semantic wherein events having said predetermined semantic are queued according to their associated data value; -
a means to determine events to be made available to said one or more recipient systems if an event has a data value within one or more defined said data ranges, and an external recipient system for observing one or more human observable virtual objects that are mapped from a representation of a real or virtual object to a virtual object in one or more universes comprising, one or more observing sub-systems configurable to determine which observing sub-system is used to provide the human-observable representation of said one or more virtual objects and thus respective universes to which said virtual object is mapped, and an interface device configured to receive control information indicating a position from which to represent said virtual objects in a respective universe and based thereon, to control said one or more observing sub-systems. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A system for data processing and event handling and observation having a data processing architecture comprising
one or more data processing components including software components and zero or more physical components associated with a logical level such that a data processing component associated with a logical level only accepts input from one or more data processing components in a logically higher or lower logical level or an external source; -
a data processing component associated with a logical level only provides output to one or more data processing components in a logically higher or lower level or an external recipient system, wherein a data processing component can not accept input or provide output from or to a data processing component in the same logical level; and a data processing component will only accept an input that conforms to an ontology related to the logical level with which the data processing component is associated; and a recipient system for event-handling that receives from one or more sources one or more events one at least being said data processing architecture, each event having associated therewith by the issuing source one of an ordered data value and a semantic, wherein said event-handling system makes available one or more events to one or more other recipient systems, said event-handling system comprising; one or more event queues having a predetermined semantic wherein events having said predetermined semantic are queued according to their associated data value; and a means to determine events to be made available to said one or more recipient systems if an event has a data value within one or more defined said data ranges; and said recipient system for observing one or more human observable virtual objects that are mapped from a representation of a real or virtual object to a virtual object in one or more universes that receives at least one or more events from said event handling system, said recipient system comprising, one or more observing sub-systems configurable to determine which observing sub-system is used to provide the human-observable representation of said one or more virtual objects and thus respective universes to which said virtual object is mapped, and an interface device configured to receive control information indicating a position from which to represent said virtual objects in a respective universe and based thereon, to control said one or more observing sub-systems. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 35, 36)
