Dynamic asset monitoring and management using a continuous event processing platform

A realtime event processing method, performed by a computer system executing machine-readable instructions, the method comprising acts of:

• receiving realtime event data associated with an asset type from heterogeneous event data sources;
• synchronizing the realtime event data and static event data associated with the asset type in time as obtained from the heterogeneous event data sources;
• merging the synchronized realtime event data and static event data into a realtime event stream using one or more operators, to thereby define the synchronized realtime event data and static event data into assets queriable as a single event type;
• applying a query to the realtime event stream for continuous event processing of the event data to output a result stream returning multiple related asset items;
• and
• converting the result stream into a format for consumption by a consumer application.

A computer-readable hardware storage comprising instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform acts comprising:

• receiving realtime event data associated with an asset type from heterogeneous event data sources;
• synchronizing the realtime event data and static event data associated with the asset type in time as obtained from the heterogeneous event data sources;
• merging the synchronized realtime event data and static event data into a realtime event stream through one or more operators, to define the synchronized realtime event data and static event data into assets queriable as a single event type;
• applying a query on the realtime event stream for continuous event processing of the event data to output a result stream returning multiple related asset items;
• and
• converting the result stream into a format for consumption by a consumer application.
