Method and system for capturing streaming data by an actionable information engine

An information analysis system for processing and analyzing streaming data comprising:

• an engine processor having a plurality of inputs, a plurality of separate outputs, and a plurality of separate bi-directional input/output terminals, said engine processor operative to process data according to stored information, a rules storage module coupled to one input of said engine processor and operative to store a set of stored rules in defining engine operation,
• an input events module coupled to another input of said engine processor and operative for receiving events and for providing a plurality of events from at least one received event, wherein said engine processes said events according to said stored rules for generating at a first output a series of valid results when predetermined input events occur according to said rules as processed by said engine,
• a first state storage unit coupled to a bi-directional input/output terminal of said engine and operative to store a state of a rule that said engine has matched to an input event but which has not yet produced a valid result, said state of a rule as stored enabling said engine to provide a valid result output upon a future reception of an input event necessary to complete said rule,
• transaction log module coupled to an output of said engine and operative to monitor the operation of said engine for specified time period necessary to complete rules.
