I have received a few private messages about Charles Young and his form v. function rules debate. Folks have sent me references and articles to counter his debate points, however, I am impassive about this topic.
It is common sense to objective systems engineers (and well documented) that trying to manage large sets of [...]

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. [...]

Paul Vincent of TIBCO wrote an outstanding post, The Value of (Production) Rules … Paul correctly notes:
In summary, of course, event-processing rules, event-driven rules, and rules for business decisions can all overlap, depending on the application.
By coincidence, I was reading an excellent paper recently, Reactive Rules on the Web. In this Springer-Verlag paper, the distinguished [...]

Seemingly inundated with blog posts about CEP and BRMS, it seems we should simply rename the current CEP space, BRMS. All of the current self-described CEP products on the market today are rules-engines, this includes the continuous query stream processors and the RETE engines. Furthermore, a quick review of Wikipedia says BRMS is, as follows [...]

For archiving purposes, I have uploaded 24 public CEP presentations that I presented over an 18 month period at various conferences from March 14, 2006 to September 21, 2007. These presentations can be viewed here. For example, my first public CEP presentation:

One of the many effects of the credit crisis is that Wall Street firms have found a new focus for their complex event processing projects. Although they’re not abandoning CEP-based algorithmic trading, new CEP initiatives are focused on measuring and managing risk.
With its ability to watch and apply business [...]
