In addition, the method and system may further provide generating a notification message identifying the non-occurrence; and sending the notification message to an intended recipient via a preferred mode of communication. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A computer implemented method for monitoring objects relating to at least one scheduled event, the method comprising the steps of: using at least one computer processor to receive an event message related to a scheduled event; using the at least one computer processor to filter the event message to identify at least one object associated with the scheduled event; using the at least one computer processor to compare a current status of the at least one object with an expected status for the at least one object; using the at least one computer processor to identify a non-occurrence of the scheduled event based at least in part on the comparison; using the at least one computer processor to generate a notification message identifying the non-occurrence; using the at least one computer processor to send the notification message to an intended recipient via a preferred mode of communication; and using the at least one computer processor to check for new objects. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising the step of: using the at least one computer processor to categorize the non-occurrence based on a scale of importance. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the notification message and mode of communication are based at least in part on the step of categorizing. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The method of claim 2, wherein the preferred mode of communication comprises one or more of a pager, a cell phone, a wireless device, a PDA, an instant message, and an email transmission. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the notification message comprises one of a warning message, an error message and an urgent message. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of: after sending the notification message, using the at least one computer processor to determine whether the current status meets the expected status; and using the at least one computer processor to send an OK message canceling out the notification message. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the steps of generating a notification message identifying the non-occurrence; and sending the notification message to an intended recipient via a preferred mode of communication are performed on a separate platform. ### Claim 8 A system for monitoring objects relating to at least one scheduled event, the system comprising: at least one computer server, the at least one computer server comprising: a module for receiving an event message related to a scheduled event; a filtering module for filtering the event message to identify at least one object associated with the scheduled event; a comparing module for comparing a current status of the at least one object with an expected status for the at least one object; an identification module for identifying a non-occurrence of the scheduled event based at least in part on a comparison of the current status and the expected status; a module for generating a notification message identifying the non-occurrence and sending the notification message to an intended recipient via a preferred mode of communication; and a module for checking for new objects. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the non-occurrence is categorized based on a scale of importance. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the notification message and mode of communication are based at least in part on the step of categorizing. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the preferred mode of communication comprises one or more of a pager, a cell phone, a wireless device, a PDA, an instant message, and an email transmission. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the notification message comprises one of a warning message, an error message and an urgent message. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein after sending the notification message, a determination is made as to whether the current status meets the expected status; and wherein an OK message is sent to cancel out the notification message. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, further comprising: a separate platform for generating a notification message identifying the non-occurrence; and sending the notification message to an intended recipient via a preferred mode of communication. ### Claim 15 A computer implemented method for monitoring objects relating to at least one scheduled event, the method comprising the steps of: using at least one computer processor to receive an event message related to a scheduled event; using the at least one computer processor to filter filtering the event message to identify at least one object associated with the scheduled event; using the at least one computer processor to compare a current status of the at least one object with an expected status for the at least one object; using the at least one computer processor to identify a non-occurrence of the scheduled event based at least in part on the comparison; using the at least one computer processor to categorize the non-occurrence based on a scale of importance; using the at least one computer processor to generate a notification message identifying the non-occurrence; and using the at least one computer processor to send the notification message to an intended recipient via a preferred mode of communication, wherein the notification message and mode of communication are based at least in part on the comparison; wherein the preferred mode of communication comprises one or more of pager, cell phone, wireless device, PDA, instant message, and email transmission; and wherein the notification message comprises one of a warning message, an error message and an urgent message. ### Claim 16 A system for monitoring objects relating to at least one scheduled event, comprising: at least one computer processor; and a computer-readable media comprising code that, when executed by the at least one computer processor, performs the steps of: receiving an event message related to a scheduled event; filtering the event message to identify at least one object associated with the scheduled event; comparing a current status of the at least one object with an expected status for the at least one object; identifying a non-occurrence of the scheduled event based at least in part on the step of comparing; generating a notification message identifying the non-occurrence; sending the notification message to an intended recipient via a preferred mode of communication; and checking for new objects.
