Computer World Errors in CEP Report
James Kobielus (Network World) has written an August 17th article on CEP, Complex event processing: still on the launch pad, When will CEP take off? The article does not do a very good job representing the current state of CEP or the CEP customer base. In fact, in one particular quote from the article, James [...]
Read moreHow to Contribute to the CEP Community – Use Cases
There are a number of folks interested in CEP and many of them unsure where to get started. We discussed this recently in the Yahoo! CEP-Interest eGroup before we got sidetracked with the standard data stream processing obstructionism by our colleagues at Aleri Labs, who continue to try to redefine CEP in their view of [...]

IBM has integrated Coral8 into its WebSphere RFID Information Center product; and Coral8 is providing a free deployment license to all IBM customers using the new version of WebSphere RFID Information Center. In a similar strategy that Esper and BEA are following, Coral8 believes that a “give away” strategy will help boost their sales and [...]

Speaking of BEA, I really enjoyed this short BEA screencast showing how to change event stream processing rules and deploy the changes on-the-fly, in the their Eclipse design-time environment. This screencast shows an impressive Eclipse administrative interface to hot deploy their event server applications. Impressive. Great job David Reed of BEA!
Read moreBEA Event Server Screencast: Airport Lost Baggage Use Case
BEA has a nice screencast that demonstrates event processing in airport operations. Their screencast illustrates how WebLogic Event Server can be configured to detect missing events, a requirement often discussed in many CEP and ESP applications (not unique to BEA). The demo uses SL’s RTV, also used by TIBCO and Progress Apama, as a business [...]

We have been discussing standard data sets for CEP on CEP-Interest lately and have introduced the topic of “event cloud generation” here. For those interested in applying CEP to intrusion detection, there is an evaluation dataset available from MIT. “These evaluations measured probability of detection and probability of false-alarm for each system under test. These [...]
