What is Complex Event Processing? (Part 7)

Posted by Tim Bass
In What is Complex Event Processing? (Part 6), we discussed impact assessment in event processing applications. Today, we introduce process refinement - the feedback loop, resource management and work flow components of event processing architectures. Business process management (BPM) also is a part of process refinement, depicted in slide 13 of my [...]

Event Streams and Event Clouds Revisited
