A generic architecture for alert notification and monitoring system based on event processing framework

The early notification systems were designed using request-driven and later using the business process models. In the last ten years, the alert notification systems were developed using event centric modelling, but the design focus of these systems is mainly limited to the event producer or consumer driven approaches. Fewer or none of these models have focused on the event processing framework. Moreover, the existing notification systems have the following limitations: lack of functional separation between the event generation, processing and consuming layers, self-configuration, static computation of operational parameters, and lack of search capabilities of the computed parameters. This paper presents a generic architecture for an alert notification system based on the event processing framework. Further, we explain the detailed working of the system with the aid of the data flow, system, and functional architectural diagrams. The alert notification functionality is outlined with the help of the check algorithm.
