Ironically, our favorite software vendors have decided, in a nutshell, to redefine Dr. David Luckham’s definition of “event cloud” to match the lack-of-capabilities in their products.
This is really funny, if you think about it.
The definition of “event cloud” was coordinated over a long (over two year) period with the leading vendors in the event processing community and is based on the [...]

The blog post, On Event Processing Agents, reminds me of a presentation back in March 2006, where TIBCO’s ex-CEP evangelist Tim Bass (now busy working for a conservative business advisory company in Asia and off the blogosphere, as we all know) presented his keynote, Processing Patterns for Predictive Business, at the first event processing symposium.
In that presentation, Tim [...]

I don’t Twitter.
But….
Then all the Twitter jokes on Geek and Poke got my attention.
Then, again, I started thinking ….
What if we could process all those Twitter events, all the millions of answers to the little Twitter question:
What are you doing now?
What if your entire sales force Twittered?
Maybe a slick Twitter alliance with SalesForce.com?
Then, we process [...]

In order to help folks further understand the differences between CEP and SEP, prompted by Marc’s reply in the blogosphere, More Cloudy Thoughts, here is the scoop.
In the early days of spam filtering, let’s go back around 10 years, detecting spam was performed with rule-based systems. In fact, here is a link to one of the first papers [...]

Reducing complex problems sets to simple problem sets is an interesting, and sometimes valid, approach to complex event processing. Transformations can be useful, especially when well defined.
For example, CEP was envisioned as a new technology to debug relatively large distributed systems, discover hidden causal relationships in seemingly disconnected event space. This “discovery” requires backwards chaining with uncertainty, [...]

In his post, Cloudy Thinking, Marc Adler asks how to implement the event cloud.
As a reminder, we process event clouds; we don’t implement them. Event clouds simply exist, independent of our desire to process and extract meaningful information from the event cloud.
For example, there are many voices in a crowded stadium. These voices make up the “sound [...]

Our readers might recall that this post by Tim Bass, The Top Ten Cybersecurity Threats for 2008. One of the top ten threats to cybersecurity in 2008, according to this post, was:
— Subversion of democratic political processes.
Interestingly enough, Electoral-Vote.com, a site maintained by Dr. Andrew Tanenbaum, Professor of Computer Science at the Vrige University in Amsterdam, reports (a [...]

We were surprised to learn that IBM has decided to use the name “Business Events” for their event processing server after TIBCO has been using “BusinessEvents” for the same general software category for nearly three years. Is it a safe bet that TIBCO’s legal team is reviewing their options at this point in time?
