A Blast from the Past: Processing Patterns for Predictive Business, March 2006
For readers interested in complex event processing and a few of the challenges the industry faces, here is a presentation from 28 months back called Processing Patterns for Predictive Business. This presentation was delivered at the first Workshop on Event Processing – Presentations at IBM Research Labs, Yorktown Heights, March 14-16th 2006. The same key points of [...]

Courtesy of Complex Event Processing at Stanford Complex event processing (CEP) is a new technology. It can be applied to extracting and analyzing information from any kind of distributed message-based system. It is developed from the Rapide concepts of (1) causal event modeling, (2) event patterns and pattern matching, and (3) event pattern maps and [...]

Fellow blogger Opher Etzion, replies to On Elephants and Analytics with On Unicorn, Professor and Infant. Opher is kindly giving us another metaphor to consider, the Infant and the Profession, since we are both big fans of big gentle elephants, babies and our universities. Opher and I agree that Infants are not Professors, and we also agree that CEP is in [...]

Friend and colleague Don Adams, CTO World Wide Public Sector, TIBCO Software, explains how CEP can be used to sense, adapt and respond to complex situations in The “Predictive” Battlespace: Leveraging the Power of Event-Driven Architecture in Defense.

Here is an interesting paper, Probabilistic Complex Event Triggering, Daisy Zhe Wang, Eirinaios Michelakis, and Liviu Tancau, Computer Science Division, University of California at Berkeley, circa 2005. One of the first things I noticed about the paper was the discussion of probability in the content of complex event processing, including Hidden Markov processes, Bayesian Belief [...]
Read moreIs CEP a Service or a Process? Reloaded
In Is CEP a Service or a Process? Paul Vincent of TIBCO blogs that any classification of CEP depends on the application, concluding that CEP is both a process and a service. Well (sorry Paul!), I disagree. CEP is neither a process nor a service; CEP is a concept architecture for processing complex events. (I have advocated a [...]
Read moreOpen Service Event Management
One of the benefits of working in different countries is to get the perspectives of various client’s event processing problems. Of interest to event processing professionals, companies are moving away from expensive software solutions and increasingly moving toward experimenting with economical and open software packages to solve complex problems. Recently, I was talking with a client about their experience with commercial security event [...]
