Webinar: BAM: The Killer App for CEP

Just recently found out that the folks at SL have confirmed an eBiz webinar where I’ll be speaking with colleague Ted Wilson about BAM: The Killer App for CEP.

Key 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 to [...]

The Amazing Alpine Golf Club, Bangkok - Thank You Starwood!

Wow!    Sometimes we are reminded why they say “Amazing Thailand!”
Today I was a guest of Starwood Hotels and Resorts  to play in a special Starwood golf event at the Alpine Golf and Sports Club just outside of Bangkok.   Thank you Starwood and the General Manager of the Royal Orchid Sheraton, Mr. Charles Jack, who was very kind to [...]

Events are the Heart of the COSO ERM Framework

COSO was originally formed in 1985 to sponsor the National Commission on Fraudulent Financial Reporting, an independent private sector initiative which studied the cause-and-effects that can lead to fraudulent financial reporting.

At the [...]

BEP is BEP, CEP is CEP

Joe McKendrick, in Taking the ‘complex’ out of complex event processing, makes a case for renaming CEP, BEP.
Joe references IBM’s Sandy Carter, as I did in my post earlier today, IBM Says Business Event Processing is Not CEP.
Joe wants to change the world “complex” to “business” in CEP because he believes the word [...]

IBM Says Business Event Processing is Not CEP

Sandy Carter, IBM’s vice president of SOA and WebSphere strategies, said something in IBM Buys AptSoft To Boost BPM-SOA Line I completely agree with, relative to most of the technologies folks are calling “CEP” these days:
“In the marketplace today, everybody talks about complex event processing,” Carter said. “We actually are trying to rename [...]

IBM Will Acquire AptSoft

I was wondering when IBM would actually jump into the event processing market.  
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.  This was a smart move by IBM.
Oracle is acquiring BEA which uses Esper under the hood, another stream processing [...]

BAM Solutions for CEP Engine Users

Today I noticed that SL Corporation has revamped their website with a new page, Solutions for CEP Engine Users.    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 Users [...]

Orthogonal 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 also [...]
