Abstract
An alarm management system having an escalation strategy which may be applied to each state of an alarm and increase a level of escalation if a required action has not been taken in response to an alarm. This approach is for avoiding an overlooking of any alarms and for assuring closure of alarms as soon as possible. An alarm may be in one of several intermediate states. Each state may have a threshold which if exceeded escalates an alarm's urgency. Alarm notifications may be provided to recipients according to their preferences.
