Information Week has reported that Google Informs Docs Users Of Security Lapse which include this quote: The last such Google Docs security lapse was reported in September, when Tim Bass, posting to the (ISC)² blog, disclosed a caching [...]
Read moreCEP: A Technology Behind The Power Curve
It was almost three years ago when I was introduced to the buzzword “complex event processing” by good friends and colleagues at TIBCO Software. At TIBCO (before and during my time there) we always discussed how “real-time event processing” would be a technology to address “the needle in the haystack” detection problems in the big [...]

Penny Crossman of Wall Street and Technology wrote “Critics Give Aleri-Coral8 Merger High Marks, but CEP Bloodbath Continues” which included a nice interview with Aleri CEO Don DeLoach and Coral8 vice-president of product marketing John Morrel.

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 recently made the decision to move to Zabbix to monitor one of our busy production Apache web servers. One of the things we need to do in the future is try to predict system outages and take corrective actions before the system actually goes down. For example, recently a busy server experenced an outage [...]
Read morePeter Lin on Situational Awareness and CEP
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 [...]
Read moreCEP The Concept Is Not CEP The Software
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 [...]
