I remember when I was first introduced to Linux, circa 1993. There was no Linux marketing. Linux was simply a great operating system and I could use it as a mail server, a file server, a name server, a web server, a database platform, a development platform, a sniffer, a firewall, and more. I introduced [...]

It is not common knowledge, but we began discussing the need for a cyber command in the mid-1990s; but it was the Langley Cyber Attack in 1997 that started the momentum toward making a future cyber command a reality. I don’t want to rehash well-documented historical events in this post. Instead, I will focus [...]

As someone who, as a consultant, proposed a Cyber Command for the USAF over a decade ago, it is good to see the DOD moving in that direction with the proposed US Cyber Command. Cyberspace is a critical operational dimension. I first referred to this in a 1997 MILCOM paper co-authored with Lt. Col. [...]

Back in the days when I was happily spending time on the operations floor in computing centers, we always observed that the greatest security threats to our systems were well-intended operators who make simple mistakes. No hacker or criminal ever brought down a network like the bored network guy on the late shift who decided [...]

I think the following is a very good Google Adsense ad by Apama. I see this ad running on a number of sites:
Stream Processing Engine
Now you can monitor, analyze and act on streaming event data.

The ad above is accurate and does not confuse complex event processing with stream processing.
Great job Apama! Thanks for [...]

Following up on our Date with the CloudFront Operations Manager we have just released our public test results using a small 1.6kb object (a small gif file). The results of the tests can be found here, Amazon CloudFront / S3 Small Object Test Results
In a nutshell, we found a fairly significant performance improvement using [...]

I thought we had seen the last of the darkest days of folly, falsehoods and hype around “complex event processing” and then I read Why does ‘complex event processing’ have to be so complex? by Joe McKendrick. Here is some of the marketing nonsense:
I recently had the opportunity to join David, along with Brenda Michelson, [...]

Here is an excellent Google TechTalk by Dr. Majorie Shapiro (LBL & LHC ATLAS), June 18, 2007, on processing complex events at the LHC called, Supersymmetry, Extra Dimensions and the Origin of Mass: Exploring the Nature of the Universe Using PetaScale Data Analysis.
This is really what I would call “real-time CEP.” Bean collisions at the [...]
