On November 8th 2007, after compiling a list of CEP/EP reference customers from the open literature and public press releases, I issued a call for CEP reference customers in the Yahoo! CEP-Interest Group and on the professional networking site LinkedIn. During the past 7 weeks I provided an opportunity for all concerned [...]

Enjoying visualizing a better world, world peace and global cooling in my meditative serene holiday at Divana Nurture Spa, I could not help but transcend into thoughts about a recent post, Visualizations Update.
In his thoughtful post above, Marc Adler briefly mentions heatmaps and visualization in the context of event processing adapters, analytics, and the ecosystem in general.
In an earlier post, [...]

Marc Adler shows why his musings are rapidly becoming one of my “must read” blogs in his post, CEP Vendors and the Ecosystem.
We have been making similar points in the event processing blogosphere, namely the important of adapters and analytics. Today, event processing vendors are surprisingly weak in both areas.
For one thing, there was way much emphasis on rules-based analytics in 2007. [...]

Paul Vincent of TIBCO Software in his post, Outside CEP: the infrastructure stack, makes a statement that “every $ a CEP vendor spends on middleware integration is a $ less on interesting CEP functionality.”
Opher Etzion of IBM, in turn, agrees with Paul in his post, On the envelope for CEP, and discusses how there is much overlap between [...]

In the mist of event processing debates, evaluations, meetings, complexity and evangelism, sometimes we should just pause and take a break.
See how the trees, flowers and grass grow in silence.
See the stars, the moon, and the sun move in silence.
Slow the world down with a simple kind of pleasure.
And so I did today, by visting Divana [...]
