Controlling the Event Streams to Become More Autonomous

Autonomous systems should deal with many and various data coming from the environment. In order to be able to process efficient and quick on-line and real-time analysis, it is necessary to have the capability of control on the input event streams in order to focus the processing mainly on the relevant data. The protocol introduced in this paper is devoted to give control and focus capabilities to the analysis module, depending on its current needs. The reduction of the flow rate induced by this allows more efficient and less resource consuming processing.
