Should We Simply Rename CEP BRMS?
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 [...]
Read moreUpdate on the CEP Users Group on LinkedIn
The CEP Users Group I started on LinkedIn now has nearly 700 members. This group was created to be a users group, not a vendor product marketing group or a group for headhunters to post their job searches. For that reason, and to keep the group from future marketing spam, to be fair to all, [...]
Read moreA Bit of History on CEP and ESP Marketing
In his Followup to “Do you need a Commercial CEP System?” Marc calls out Progress Apama and their great work in financial services. I have always liked Apama’s product and what they are doing; however, we should be clear on the difference between marketing and technology. Progress Apama was the company who, when the buzzword [...]
Read moreWill Commercial CEP Engines Replace Algorithmic Trading Platforms?
Sometimes I think Marc Adler is reading my mind, and I wonder how he does it. I have been thinking for weeks about writing a detailed post about why Algorithmic Trading is not Complex Event Processing; but then Marc pens the thoughtful, Do You Really Need a Commercial CEP Engine? In his post, Marc provides [...]

Read moreWhat Defines Complexity in Rule Processing?
In GPS, GeoLogging and CEP I was really impressed with the movement toward multisensor data fusion and situation detection as commented by Alex and Marco. Both Alex and Marco realize that basic track-and-trace tends to be a supporting role in many CEP applications; and that one core functionality that “graduates” an application to a “CEP [...]
Read moreWhat is SOA, Really…. A Sacred Omnipotent Acronym
Having been around the block many times, I enjoyed reading about SOA sinking into trough of disillusionment. Let me tell you what is SOA, really…. SOA, in hardware terms, is the concept that if you take a perfectly good running computer, life, including your precious ROI, will be better if you: Share the motherboard as [...]

I recently purchased a Holux M-231 GPS Logger and have been having some fun geoblogging, for example, see my new microblog, What’s On Chiang Mai, a mashup blog with WordPress and GeoPress. As many of you Geotaggers already know, it is really amazing that you can spend less than $100 USD on a geologger that [...]

Read moreCEP is Not a Just a Technology and Not Just a Tool
I read the debate (here, here and here) on how Complex Event Processing (CEP) fits into the wider software architectural themes of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Event Driven Architectures (EDA). More comments and blog posts followed (including this one, and this one). Frankly speaking, I was surprised to see so much misunderstanding on fundamental [...]
