Internet Exterior Routing Protocol Development: Problems, Issues, and Misconceptions (1997)
In a follow up to a couple of recent posts on routing and why routing is not really CEP, kindly find my 1997 IEEE paper, for historical reference and a bit of background information, on global Internet routing:

The following excellent discussion is reposted from Streaming SQL approaches insist in ignoring causality by PatternStorm. The recent paper “Towards a Streaming SQL Standard” by Oracle and Streambase unifies and generalizes two different execution models of Streaming SQL: Oracle’s and StreamBase’s. While it’s true that the generalization succeeds in overcoming the unability of both execution models [...]

Recently someone asked about business in Thailand. Here is my first post on this challenging topic: First of all, as background information, I learned the Thai alphabet (script with 44 consonants and 32 vowels) nearly 20 years ago, so I have have a pretty decent foundation for the Thai language compared to most foreigners visting or working in [...]
Read moreMore on Why Routing is Not Complex Event Processing
Interestingly, CEP is Not BPM, BAM, BRE, BRMS or SOA stimulated many great comments and the rebuttal Smart Order Routing and CEP – Made for Each Other. James Taylor responded with Business rules, decisions and events. I followed up with CEP is Not Low Latency Messaging, EAI or ESB and James replied in turn with Still More on Event Processing. It’s [...]
Read moreCEP is Not Low Latency Messaging, EAI or ESB
In respose to CEP is Not BPM, BAM, BRE, BRMS or SOA, fellow blogger Mark Palmer posts, Smart Order Routing and CEP – Made for Each Other. Mark does a good job describing his perspective on smart order routing (SOR), yet his counterpoint that SOR is “complex event processing” is quite unconvincing. I agree with Mark that SOR is [...]

A few friends and colleagues have written privately, or blogged, and kindly mentioned how much they will miss not seeing Tomoko at the Event Processing Summit and Symposium this month. She is currently in Japan visiting friends and family. Here is a video I made with Tomoko on the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, set [...]
Read moreThe Kum Bai Ya of Event Processing
Kindred spirit Marc Adler mentions being a bit ”turned off” by the sniping back-and-forth in the CEP/EP blog-o-sphere. This was exactly how I felt in early 2006 when folks were sniping back and forth about SQL standards and event stream processing (ESP). A group of vendors had created some stream processing engines and all were in “power positioning” mode with the acronyms “ESP” and ”CEP”, hoping to ride [...]
