Soon I will publish my The Top Ten Cybersecurity Threats for 2009. However, before doing so, let’s take a look at some interesting aspects of The Top Ten Cybersecurity Threats for 2008. In my cybersecurity threat list for 2008, I mentioned:
— Criminal manipulation and subversion of financial markets.
What we observed in 2008 was much [...]

Following up to my earlier posts on Event Processing Technical Society (EPTS) related topics, I am proposing a draft reorganization of the EPTS Steering Committee. The current EPTS Steering Committee was structured as follows:

It is great to relax and just enjoy the good life in Northern Thailand. As I read so many blog posts and technology articles by people who just don’t have a clue about what they are talking about, I am reminded of a passage by one of the world’s great writers Umberto Eco.
Foucault’s Pendulum was [...]

Paul Vincent posts The Eight Fallacies of Distributed Computing where he and his colleagues state that “essentially everyone” makes these assumptions when designing a distributed computing application.
Essentially everyone, when they first build a distributed application, makes the following eight assumptions. All prove to be false in the long run and all cause big trouble and [...]

In August of this year, we issued the challenge, The Bot Hunter: An Event Processing Challenge (Bot or Not). Not surprisingly, none of the “self-described CEP vendors” with grand claims of CEP greatness, responded. Real-time detection of threats and opportunities, the core premise of CEP, is very different than algo trading, order routing and process [...]

Continuing with our discussion on Complex Systems and CEP, let’s turn our attention, momentarily, to more scientific, or perhaps philosophical, discussions. Let’s review a bit of chaos theory via the Lorenz effect and talk about the “event soup”, a phrase I shamelessly coined in On the Maturity of CEP.
Edward Lorenz was using a computer model [...]

Professor Luckham wrote about CEP and the future of global Air Traffic Control (ATC) in The Future Event Driven World: Global Air Traffic Management. One of the first commercial applications of complex event processing was in the early 1960s in the field of commercial aviation, for example see the history of Air Traffic Control.
Although experimental [...]
