System and method for protocol adherence

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium including instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to at least:

• instantiate a reasoning engine by a request from a workflow, the reasoning engine to determine protocol compliance;
• subscribe, via the reasoning engine, to messages published by an information broker from an augmented state transition network encoding a protocol as a plurality of states corresponding to tasks and transitions between the tasks, the state transitions based on a probability distribution associated with at least one of a location or a trajectory of at least one of a monitored person or a monitored object in an area being monitored, wherein the probability distribution is to be converted into a likelihood of a deviation for the protocol to be monitored based on the states encoding the protocol;
• determine, by the reasoning engine using the messages and an ordered ontology for a domain, a protocol state formed from the messages using the ordered ontology based on i) a first state associated with an agent to perform an action, ii) a second state associated with an object that is a recipient of the action, and iii) a third state associated with an event that associates the action with the object and the agent, the ordered ontology enabling a processing of the protocol state and a comparison of the protocol state to identify a deviation from the protocol state based on an illegal state transition, the illegal state transition between states in the augmented transition network based on the likelihood of deviation and a spatiotemporal relationship between the protocol state and a second state of the augmented transition network.
• determine, via the reasoning engine, a protocol task violation based on the deviation from the protocol state calculated using the messages and the ordered ontology;
• and
• triggering an alarm to report the deviation.
