Generating activity streams from events occurring in company-internal IT infrastructures

In the current era of technology, the Internet and web technologies become the center source of information. Due to the huge amount of contents, one of the main challenges of modern information technology is aimed at how to reduce and manage information in a structured way with mobilizing users to the similar kind of relevant information. So, any intelligent system should be able to understand people´s interest about a particular type of information and automatically mobilize him to the similar kind of available information sources. The idea of high level Activity Streams along with its standardized format can play a vital role to solve this problem in the broader context. This paper introduces a novel system called CoASGen (Consolidation and Activity Streams Generator) which is able to automatically generate high level Activity Streams after aggregating and consolidating from different independent systems (e.g. in a software company context: version management system, wikis, bug trackers etc.). It retrieves life time information as heterogeneous web feed by sensing user activities from those independent systems and then it transforms several similar types of atomic activities into high level Activity Streams using semantic technologies along with its specific standardized format. Finally, it shows these high level Activity Streams to the user interface which is able to automatically motivate users to find relevant information easily without either missing any data or losing valuable time. This system solves the problem “data silos” by reducing and managing information in a structured way.
