Description

Nasdaq's ® Surveillance Delivery Real-Time (SDR) System Since its inception in 1971 as the world's first electronic stock market, the Nasdaq Stock Market ® has set a precedent for technological trading innovation. It is among the world's best-regulated stock markets, employing the industry's most sophisticated real-time surveillance systems to ensure investor protection and a fair and competitive trading environment. Nasdaq's Surveillance Delivery Real-Time (SDR) application is a mission-critical system used by their MarketWatch (SM) department to facilitate oversight of intraday market activity. SDR monitors the Nasdaq Stock Market to identify unusual market activity and monitor compliance with marketplace rules to ensure market integrity and provide a level playing field for all market participants. The system analyzes quote, trade and news transactions and sends alerts to MarketWatch analysts so they can take appropriate action. The application is designed to handle more than 600 transactions per second, provide alerts within 2 seconds, scale to a 4-billion-share trading day (a billion shares a day is the average today) provide extensive failover capabilities and meet stringent disaster recovery requirements. Key personnel from PulseMetrics LLC, a preferred service vendor for the Nasdaq Stock Market, participated in the successful delivery of this solution by providing their real-time data mining and data analysis expertise. Federal research contract from the Department of Defense (US Navy) The Airborne Laser (ABL) weapon system is one key part of a Department of Defense (DoD) approach to defending against ballistic missiles. The ABL weapon system will operate at altitudes above the clouds where it can acquire and track missiles in boost flight, and then accurately point and fire the laser with such energy that the missile is destroyed before it can do any harm. The ABL is interested in developing technology that will enable better health monitoring and life prediction for its critical components. A prognostic system that is able to provide an accurate picture of faults, component degradation, and predictive indicators of failures will be extremely useful, allowing the operators to take preventive maintenance actions to avoid costly or catastrophic damage on critical parts and to maintain availability and readiness rates for the system. Our objective was to demonstrate the feasibility of addressing these problems using the related past experience and a modular system developed by PulseMetrics as the general framework, and building on the technical expertise of the Principal Investigators (PIs, from PulseMetrics and Carnegie Mellon University) in the areas of dynamical systems analysis, statistical techniques, signal processing and intelligent systems to develop technology that will enable better health monitoring and life prediction for the ABL weapon system's critical components.
