Abstract

Some physical objects are influenced by business workflows and are observed by sensors. Since both sensor infrastructures and business workflows must deal with imprecise information, the correlation of sensor data and business workflow data related to physical objects might be used a-posteriori to determine the source of the imprecision. In this paper, an information theory based approach is presented to distinguish sensor infrastructure errors from inhomogeneous business workflows. This approach can be applied on detecting imprecisions in the sensor infrastructure, like e.g. sensor errors or changes of the sensor infrastructure deployment.
