Predicting Events with Logistic Regression

In earlier post, CEP by Apache Mahout via the Google MapReduce Framework and Apache Mahout: Real-Time Decisioning in the MapReduce Framework, we started to look at the Google MadReduce framework and the planned analytics of the Apache Mahout development team.  In this post, we will look at the first algorithm mentioned by the Mahout team, [...]

Call for a New OWASP Thailand Chapter Leader

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a worldwide free and open community focused on improving the security of application software.  The OWASP mission is to make application security “visible,” so that people and organizations can make informed decisions about application security risks. I founded the Thailand OWASP Chapter in 2008, however, due to [...]

Apache Mahout: Real-Time Decisioning in the MapReduce Framework

Here is a bit of good news for the complex event processing space.  Folks on the Apache Mahout developers mailing list are showing an accelerated interest in topics related to real-time decision-making, starting with a Markov decision process. The Hidden Markov Model (HMM) is listed under “non map-reduce algorithms” on the Mahout wiki.  The developer’s [...]

IT Infrastructure: Capability as a Service

Our recent post, for example, SOA in Cardiac Arrest, Long Live Services and Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS), combined with many great blog posts I have read in the new year, has got me thinking about IT infrastructure services.   Software as a Service (SaaS) is a bit boring to discuss.  However, Capability as a [...]

Economic Fundamentals of IT Initiatives

Of course the blog-fodder is [...]

SOA in Cardiac Arrest, Long Live Services

Blogger Anne Thomas Manes, wrote this excellent post, SOA is Dead; Long Live Services.  This post echos, in a slightly different theme my posts, Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) and also, What is SOA, Really…. A Sacred Omnipotent Acronym.
In the Amazon SQS post, I mentioned that it is possible that software companies selling SOA [...]

Lessons Learned from High Tower’s Demise

In November 2008, Aliso Viejo-based High Tower Software, a venture-backed developer of security, compliance, and log management software, shut down.   Like many of our “CEP/ESP vendors”, High Tower orchestrated numerous “awards” for their security information and event management (SIEM) software, However, these fluffy marketing awards were not enough to keep HT from a nose dive.

CEP Marketing: You Cannot Fool All of the People All of the Time

I was pleasantly surprised when I read Seth Grime’s Complex Event Processing as a Marketing Device. Normally when I read CEP-related posts by Seth I tend to grimace more than just a bit, as Seth tends to write about event stream processing people (the “SQL-ish continuous query folks”) and products versus the large vision of [...]
