An Event Service Supporting Autonomic Management of Ubiquitous Systems for e-Health

— Healthcare and economic drivers have increased the desire to deploy systems for continuous monitoring of patients, both in hospital and outpatient settings. Such systems must operate autonomically, and must meet a number of operational constraints. Event systems used in traditional monitoring systems have not been designed with these constraints in mind. We describe the design, implementation, and performance characteristics of an event system targeted at this application domain.
