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. [...]

I was doing some research on cyberspace situational awareness and was honored to noticed my prior art was referenced in a 2008 patent application by the Commonwealth of Australia. Here are some notable quotes from this patent application of an “event handling system.”
Section 8 of this part gives a brief overview of the requirement [...]

Great and powerful organizations can be handicapped by their own greatness. The shear magnificence, power and strength of the USAF also can be it’s own weakness at times. This is certainly true in the area of communications, air power and cyberspace.
The communications mission of the Air Force is highly interconnected with it’s core mission [...]

It was 1992, the Internet was still an uncertain “dream technology” by scientists, and I was working at SprintLink. My role was the lead systems engineer to set up the network and security management center for SprintLink and Managed Router Network (MRN) team.
We used HP Open View Network Node Manager (NNM) for our core network [...]

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 [...]

Recently Peter Lin was kind enough to stop by and post this comment to our post, CEP Software Saves the Universe!
Here’s my [Peter Lin's] bias perspective as a user and developer of expert system shell[s]. A business rule engine, expert system shell or CEP engine at best provide[s] a foundation for creating an expert system, [...]

Paul Vincent misquotes me in his recent post, Situation Awareness in CEP…. So, keep your eyes on the blog-o-rink because it looks like there may be a lot of sparks flying between bloggers over the next few days or weeks on this topic. The problem with many folks in this dialog is that they do [...]
