In my earlier post today, A Review of Zabbix - Zabbix Rules! (Part 2) I used the term “event precursor.” Afterwords I thought “this is a nice event processing term, I wonder who used it before me?”
So, I did a bit of Googleing around and came up with this excellent paper where the term “event [...]

In A Review of Zabbix - Zabbix Rules! (Part 1) we provided a brief introduction to Zabbix in the context of network and security management. In this post I will discuss Zabbix as an event processing platform.
Zabbix is like most event processing platforms. Zabbix provides both agent-initiated events as well as server-requested events. [...]

It was almost three years ago when I was introduced to the buzzword “complex event processing” by good friends and colleagues at TIBCO Software. At TIBCO (before and during my time there) we always discussed how “real-time event processing” would be a technology to address “the needle in the haystack” detection problems in the big [...]

Here is an amazing video by Pattie Maes from MIT Media Lab, presented at TED. Pattie presents a wearable device cobbled together for around $350 dollars that consists of a camera, a small projector with a mirror, and a device to communicate with a cell phone. I want to thank Perderabo over at The UNIX [...]

When discussing CEP and EP, someone recently blogged:
“There is even one person who declared a full fledged cyber war on anybody who uses the term “complex event processing” not in what he believes to be the original intent of past DARPA project in the area of security and military operational applications.”
Actually, I think that blogger [...]
