2 The decisive advantage for intelligence services The rising mass of data items from multiple sources and sensors needs a more automated and sophisticated processing chain. It starts with management and the adaptation of the different sources and sensors. The data fusion will be executed with an enhanced complex event processing engine with integrated analysis capabilities. The analysis process can start on a higher level of data quality and data organisation. Multiple tools and views will support the analysts to fulfil their mission to produce and disseminate the required intelligence products. Key advantages ``Highly scalable, extendable platform ``Data collection, processing, analysis and production as also dissemination of relevant intelligence products ``Implemented workflows reduce margin of error ``Enable collaboration for planning and direction as also for communi-cation to agencies and government institutions Additional support processes will enhance the core processing chain. Integrated case and task management to support the internal and external collaboration. Knowledge management for the analyst and the automated processing tasks. Building blocks: Business framework to support the complete intelligence cycle. Technical framework and components for composite client applications with multiple views and level of details. Technical framework and components for a event driven and service oriented system. Multiple scenarios to adapt the system to specific business cases.

4 Basic Concepts The main driver for an intelligence suite is an efficient and flexible data processing. For the complexity and diversity of business cases the system needs to be open for new rules, services, tools, data structures and interfaces. The architecture of SICAS is addresses these requirements. Service oriented architecture (SOA) ``Service orientation helps to organize the business related functionality in a open and reusable way ``Technical building blocks are multiple runtime environments and services in different abstractions `Àn enterprise service bus (ESB) is the backbone for the internal and external communication Event driven architecture (EDA) `Ìn addition to the service orientation an event operates as an additional business trigger `À complex event proccessor handles the multiple data streams and manages the event correlation, the relevance detection and data fusion with customizable rules ``The asynchronous and automated processes handle the mass data so the analysts are able to focus on the analytic tasks Data driven ``With the dynamic data model it is possible to adapt the database to specific needs ``Metadata of the data model and the data representations allow the system to handle dynamic data models in a descriptive way from the database over dynamic views towards presentations on the client Container and Components ``Multiple containers decouple the business logic from the technical infrastructure code ``The components are able to focus on their responsibilities Collaboration ``Collaboration aspects like case management, workflow and task management support tasks along the whole the intelligence cycle ``Collaboration infrastructure and its functionality is also available for other organizational tasks and re-quirements ``Technical platform is based on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server Knowledge Management ``Modelling and access to available knowledge is an other and important support process covered by SICAS ``Knowledge support allows the complex event processor and the analyst to handle the incoming data in an efficient way Integration and Configuration `Àdaptation to the needs of the cus-tomer is supported in different ways ``Component and service oriented architecture allows a smart tailoring to specific organisation and business processes ``Build-in integration capabilities on the client and the server side are covered in SICAS ``Highly scalable, adaptable and ex-pandable architecture allow to fulfil to customers needs Sensors / Data sources Multi stage event processing / Multi sensor data fusion Results ready to use Raw data Observations Intelligence information
