Information logistics solutions to cope with big data challenges in AAL and telemedicine

The extensive usage of information and communication technologies (ICT) within the area of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) and telemedicine results in a continuously increasing amount of heterogeneous data. Data, on the one hand, isn't tantamount to information on the other. Data has to be transformed into demand fulfilling information to cope with one the biggest problems in information science: data and information overload. The objective of this paper is to introduce technologies like Complex Event Processing (CEP) as well as Data Mining (DM) and Machine Learning (ML) to develop approaches to cope with the problem of information overload in health care according to the principles of Information Logistics (ILOG). We'll present a solutions called Telemedical ILOG Event Engine (TiEE).
