An Early Warning System is a warning system that provides advance notification of potential problems.
- AKA: Alert System, Warning System, Advance Warning System, EWS.
- Context:
- It can typically detect Anomaly Patterns through signal analysis.
- It can typically generate Warning Signals before system failure.
- It can often trigger Preventive Actions via alert mechanisms.
- It can often support Risk Management Processes with early detection.
- It can range from being a Simple Early Warning System to being a Complex Early Warning System, depending on its sophistication level.
- It can range from being a Threshold-Based Early Warning System to being a Pattern-Based Early Warning System, depending on its detection method.
- It can range from being a Single-Signal Early Warning System to being a Multi-Signal Early Warning System, depending on its input sources.
- It can range from being a Local Early Warning System to being a Global Early Warning System, depending on its coverage scope.

- Examples:
- Natural Disaster Early Warning Systems, such as:
- System Failure Early Warning Systems, such as:
- Exemplar Canary Mechanism as a quality-focused warning system.

- Counter-Examples:
- Post-Incident Detection System, which identifies problems after occurrence.
- Real-Time Monitor, which lacks predictive capability.
- Historical Analysis System, which examines past events.
