RFID-based logistics monitoring with semantics-driven event processing
Mikko Rinne, Monika Solanki, Esko Nuutila · 2016
In this paper a real-life counterfeit and theft detection scenario from pharmaceutical manufacturing is modelled using events encoded as XML and RDF. With Esper and Instans event processing platforms, the second one from the semantic web domain, the same task is configured and an experimental performance evaluation is carried out. Our results show that even though the starting points are very different, the same core task can be accomplished on both platforms. We provide quantitative performance comparisons that corroborate our analysis. For an understanding of what can be expected from each framework outside the core task, the differences between the two tools and their respective domains are qualitatively analysed.
