IBM Says Business Event Processing is Not CEP
Sandy Carter, IBM’s vice president of SOA and WebSphere strategies, said something in IBM Buys AptSoft To Boost BPM-SOA Line I completely agree with, relative to most of the technologies folks are calling “CEP” these days: “In the marketplace today, everybody talks about complex event processing,” Carter said. “We actually are trying to rename that [...]
Read moreBAM Solutions for CEP Engine Users
Today I noticed that SL Corporation has revamped their website with a new page, Solutions for CEP Engine Users. The page is well written, reinforcing some of my earlier posts on the value proposition for CEP; so I hope the folks at SL don’t mind if I repost their excellent thoughts on BAM and CEP here. Solutions for CEP Engine [...]
Read moreThe ART of Event Processing: Agility, Reuse, Transparency
The other day I discussed CEP in Layman’s Terms: Reuse and Agility. Today, our topic is CEP and transparency. One of the major benefits of “white box” event processing solutions is transparency, something not readily available or obvious in black-box solutions. Friend and colleague John Bates, Progress Apama, often discusses the benefits of white-box algorithmic [...]
Read moreCEP in Layman’s Terms: Reuse and Agility
We often hear a lot about the core benefits of SOA, which include reuse and agility. This week, I was in a meeting with Manoo Ordeedolchest, Board Member of Software Park, Thailand, Former President of the Software Industry Promotion Agency (SIPA), Former Dean, The School of Technology, Shinawatra University and a Lecturer at Chulalongkorn University, National [...]
Read moreAn Overture to the 2007 CEP Blog Awards
Before announcing the winners of the 2007 CEP Blog Awards I thought it would be helpful to introduce the award categories to our readers. I have given considerable thought to how to structure The CEP Blog Awards. This was not an easy task, as you might imagine, given the confusion in the event processing marketspace. [...]

In The Top Ten Cybersecurity Threats for 2008 I mentioned one of most critical cybersecurity threats of 2008 will be the manipulation and subversion of financial markets. Well, folks in New York have barely finished cleaning the colorful New Years confetti off Wall Street and a vivid example of manipulating the market appears in the news. We have yet to [...]

The Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA) coordinates Department of Transportation’s (DOT) research programs. RITA’s mission is to advance the deployment of multi-disciplinary technologies to improve transportation system in the U.S. Shaw-Pin Miaou, Joon Jin Song and Bani K. Mallick wrote a detailed paper, Roadway Traffic Crash Mapping: A Space-Time Modeling Approach, in RITA’s Journal of Transportation [...]
Read moreMiddleware and Event Processing Expenditures
Paul Vincent of TIBCO Software in his post, Outside CEP: the infrastructure stack, makes a statement that “every $ a CEP vendor spends on middleware integration is a $ less on interesting CEP functionality.” Opher Etzion of IBM, in turn, agrees with Paul in his post, On the envelope for CEP, and discusses how there is much overlap [...]
Read moreComplex Event Processing with Esphion Neural Agents
Detection-oriented technologies generally fall into two broad areas, signature-based detection and anomaly-based detection. Complex event processing (CEP) is also a detection-oriented technology, so we can readily understand that CEP applications must also fall within the same two general areas. Signature-based detection is sometime referred to as static detection because the technology relies on pre-defined rules, filters, and signatures [...]
Read moreEnd Users Should Define the CEP Market.
My friend Opher mistakenly thought I was thinking of him when I related the story of the fish, as he replied, CEP and the Story of the Captured Traveller. I must not have related the fish story very well, because to understood the story of the fish, is to know that we are all like the fish, in certain [...]
