In Orwellian Event Processing the discussion moved away from my original intent, which was primarily to discuss the vendor-state-of-denial regarding the prior art for processing complex events, and gravitated toward a discussion on the “inefficiencies” of rule-based systems. I was surprised learn that there are professionals who believe that there is no basis in fact [...]

Recently we completed the installation and training of an open source Bayesian classifier to replace a rule-based approach to manage forum spam. In a nutshell, we found the rule-based approach was highly prone to both false positives and false negatives; however, a statistical approach using a Bayesian approach has turned out to be far superior. [...]

Yesterday Amazon announced the public beta of Amazon Elastic MapReduce, a web-based service that enables businesses, researchers, data analysts, and developers to easily and cost-effectively process vast amounts of data. Amazon Elastic MapReduce utilizes a hosted Hadoop framework running on the web-scale infrastructure of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and Amazon Simple Storage [...]

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 [...]

Following up on Real-Time Predictive Analytics for Web Servers I thought we should “move up a level” and look at various open network monitoring platforms with trend prediction capabilities.
Our web server management team picked Zabbix to monitor a busy production server and then we started to look into adding predictive analytics afterwards. Alberto recommended we [...]

In a short follow-up to CEP Software Saves the Universe!, I thought it would be helpful to post some quotes from Wikipedia on reasoning and complexity.
Cognitive science sees reasoning by the analogy to a data processing, where relations between observed properties of reasoning are used in numerous models leading to evident logically correct conclusions in [...]

Situational awareness is a complex concept that cannot be accomplished by any of the “CEP” software on the market today. In his post, Human CEP: the gut feeling?, Paul Vincent of TIBCO says,
[A] firefighter avoiding death by analyzing his situation …. is provided by event-driven CEP systems.
The fact of the matter is that the current [...]

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, [...]
