The Genesis of Complex Event Processing: Asymmetric Capabilities
More often than not, folks working in the field of complex event processing do not truly understand CEP.

Read moreCorporate Greed and the Destabilization of Society
In The Audacity of Capital Markets we briefly touched on the culture of arrogance and greed in financial services. It is interesting because if you look at the various software players that are focused on selling to financial services, you will easily see that they have bought into the same “feed the beast” culture that [...]
