Webinar: BAM: The Killer App for CEP

Read moreKey Indicators (KIs) Versus Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
SL‘s new web page, Solutions for CEP Engine Users, discusses how CEP is a “technology that is used to help companies detect both opportunities and threats in real-time with minimal coding and reusable key performance indicators (KPIs) and business models.” I agree with SL, but would like to suggest my friends at SL expand the notion of KPIs in CEP [...]

Read moreBEP is BEP, CEP is CEP
Joe McKendrick, in Taking the ‘complex’ out of complex event processing, makes a case for renaming CEP, BEP.

Well, it was announced today that IBM will acquire Aptsoft, adding an event processing platform to the IBM WebSphere porfolio. IBM will also gain AptSoft’s event processing reference customers.

The page is well written, reinforcing some of my earlier posts on the value proposition for CEP; so I hope the folks at SL don’t mind if I repost their excellent thoughts on BAM and CEP here. Solutions for CEP Engine [...]

Read moreOrthogonal Blogging at the SOA Horse Races
Dear friend Opher Etzion responds to my post Betting on the SOA Horse with a discussion on how SOA, EDA and CEP are technically orthogonal, concluding: “Event Processing can have different interactions with SOA, and when IBM’s announcements in this area will be available you’ll realize that there are different entry points. Event processing can [...]
