Back in March of 2006 during my enjoyable times at TIBCO Software, I presented a keynote at the first event processing symposium, Processing Patterns for Predictive Business. In that presentation, I introduced a functional event processing reference architecture and highlighted the importance of mapping the business requirements for event processing to appropriate processing analytics and patterns. The figure below [...]

In an earlier post, BAM: The Cherry on Top of the CEP Pie?, we touched on the importance of visualization at every level of the function reference architecture for event processing.
I thought this might be a good time to take a closer look at the SL RTView visualization platform used by many CEP software vendors and their CEP partners, including Apama, BEA, [...]

XASAX has put together a virtual machine CEP hosting solution, at the source of the majority of stock exchanges in the US, using VMWare and clustered hardware. They have implemented a 5 POP financial backbone of market data with proximity hosting / co-location at each exchange throughout the country, which they claim, encompasses 95% of [...]

I read an excellent post by Paul Vincent, CEP vs. “Business Rules” where Paul does a super job summarizing the role of rules and rule-based systems for CEP. Paul mentioned his posts were motivated, in part, by Opher Etzion’s musings on rules.
In Bending CEP for Rules we discussed the same topic and there were some [...]

Gerald Beuchelt ridicules my post on SOA security in his reply, Where is the problem? In particular, Gerald takes aim at my statement that SAML, and other SOA security standards, are immature, stating that SAML has been around since 2001.
I agree with Gerald that, if you measure maturity by time (as he does in his [...]

If you read the posts on the net on CEP and BAM you might start to think that the main purpose of visualization in event processing is a BAM dashboard. This is quite a narrow view of both CEP and visualization; so kindly permit me to “debunk the marketing myths” that BAM is [...]

There have been a number of posts recently about Complex Event Processing (CEP), Business Intelligence (BI) and Business Activity Monitoring (BAM).
For example, James Taylor, in Complex Event Processing is Not about BI, responds to John Trigg’s The Opportunity for Business Intelligence: Is it Evolution or Revolution? who was motivated by Larry Goldman, Customer Intelligence: Event-Processing Alphabet [...]

My apologies for dropping off the blogosphere! We just landed at the Sheraton Royal Orchid in Bangkok after weeks of packing, moving, plus time with friends and family.
Eventually, I plan to get to the topic of event processing in SOA security and blog about how CEP can help reduce the risk in security issues related [...]
