The study shows that improvements can be achieved by using optimised threshold and persistence values identified by performing a sensitivity type analysis. The main findings from this study show that, although an overall increase in the true detection rate and decrease in the number of false alarms can be achieved, the high number of false alarms remains an issue. To address this problem a new event detection system based on suitable relations across multiple signals will be developed as part of future work.Keyphrases: confusion matrices, event recognition, online monitoring, water treatment works In: Goffredo La Loggia, Gabriele Freni, Valeria Puleo and Mauro De Marchis (editors).
