Abstract:
1. A method comprising: storing context information, the context information corresponding to a plurality of different types of source systems, wherein the different types of source systems generate different types of events and correspond to different stored context information, the stored context information comprising information about the source systems and a plurality of triples, each triple comprising a particular source system, a particular associated target system, and an associated constraint, wherein events received from a particular source system are sent to an associated target system if the associated constraint is satisfied; receiving, on at least one computer, a first event from a first source system in the plurality of source systems, the first event including event information comprising information identifying the source of the first event; accessing, by the at least one computer, the context information corresponding to the first event using the event information, wherein the accessed context information comprises the first source system, a first target system, and a first constraint; generating a second event based on at least a portion of the event information and context information using one or more rules; assigning a priority to the second event; and sending the second event to a first target system in a plurality of target systems to perform a particular operation on the first target system if the event information in the first event satisfies the first constraint.
