CEP The Concept Is Not CEP The Software
Paul Vincent misquotes me in his recent post, Situation Awareness in CEP…. So, keep your eyes on the blog-o-rink because it looks like there may be a lot of sparks flying between bloggers over the next few days or weeks on this topic. The problem with many folks in this dialog is that they do [...]
Read moreA Epilogue to OWASP Thailand
This is an interesting story for folks who work abroad or wish to work in Thailand. In addition, folks who are interested in OWASP might find this post interesting.

Read moreReasoning and Complexity

Read moreComplex Event Processing Users Group on LinkedIn
Here is an update on the Complex Event Processing Users Group on LinkedIn.
