Cognitive modeling system including repeat processing elements and on-demand elements

A system for performing cognitive modeling, comprising:

• an event acquirer configured to acquire an event comprising an associated date and set of data fields;
• an analyzer element comprising a plurality of components repeated for each field in an event received from the event acquirer;
• a periodic set of components configured to operate periodically on demand to analyze and predict based on information received from the analyzer element;
• and
• a plurality of signal managers interfacing with the analyzer element and the periodic set of components, wherein the periodic set of components is configured to exclude signals based on content properties of data transmitted;
• wherein the plurality of components and the periodic set of components are configured to interface with a threat detector.

A cognitive modeling apparatus, comprising:

• an event acquirer;
• an updating and evaluating arrangement comprising hardware configured to apply thresholds, update event related data, predict thresholds and determine outliers from events received from the event acquirer;
• and
• a periodic/on demand apparatus configured to analyze event data on demand;
• and
• a series of signal managers comprising a first signal manager connected to the updating and evaluation arrangement and a second signal manager connected to the periodic/on demand apparatus;
• wherein the series of signal managers are configured to exclude signals based on content properties.
