Project Introduction
Objectives
•
Evaluate the use of ESRI’s GeoEvent Processor as a means
for monitoring assets and to develop an effective weather
alert system that provides targeted advanced warning of
severe weather conditions to the organization.
•
Examine two potential use cases
-
Static
-
Predictive

Project Introduction
GeoEvent Processor
•
Extension for ArcGIS Server
•
A GeoEvent1 contains information about things that
happened and where they happened.
•
GeoEvent Services1 continually analyze GeoEvents and
route the results to the appropriate outputs

Project Introduction
GeoEvent Processor – Process Data
•
Filters1 check GeoEvents to see if they meet specified
criteria
•
Processors1 perform actions against GeoEvents
•
•
Calculate new fields: GeoTagger, Field Calculator
•
Modify a GeoEvent: Field Enricher, Field Reducer
•
Derive a new GeoEvent: Field Mapper, Incident Detector
A GeoFence1 is a virtual boundary used to define areas of
GeoEvent Processor
interest
