There is quite a lot is happening in the world of complex event processing. Interestingly enough, the people and the companies advancing processing complex events are not calling what they are doing “CEP the Buzzword” we read about in the press or that a handful of “pioneers” claim make them modern-day CEP “experts”.
The companies processing [...]

Around 10 years ago I worked as Technical Director for SAIC as a member of an elite group of Internet security experts. I was responsible for a number of very large global financial corporations (well, actually two). The leader of our division, called The Center of Information Protection (The CIP), was a very intelligent [...]

Yesterday Amazon announced the public beta of Amazon Elastic MapReduce, a web-based service that enables businesses, researchers, data analysts, and developers to easily and cost-effectively process vast amounts of data. Amazon Elastic MapReduce utilizes a hosted Hadoop framework running on the web-scale infrastructure of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and Amazon Simple Storage [...]

In a short follow-up to CEP Software Saves the Universe!, I thought it would be helpful to post some quotes from Wikipedia on reasoning and complexity.
Cognitive science sees reasoning by the analogy to a data processing, where relations between observed properties of reasoning are used in numerous models leading to evident logically correct conclusions in [...]

Using NIST as computer science reference, an online algorithm is an algorithm that processes data (including events) element-by-element (and event-by-event), serially without having the entire problem space available from the beginning. In contrast, an offline algorithm is provided the entire problem set from the start.
Hence, real-time event processing applications generally involve online processing. Offline processing is useful when creating models [...]

The following is a reprint of Peter Lankford, Founder & Director of STAC comment on CEP, ESP and EPP. This is one of the best comments on CEP, ESP and EPP I have read.
Peter Lankford
Founder & Director, STAC
I’ve read the blog for some time and have been meaning to contribute some thoughts on vocabulary. By [...]

In Streambase Again!!!! Arghhhhh!, Marc Adler concludes,
“This is why organizations like STAC Research are so important to our industry.”
STAC has publicly stated that the stream processing engines they evaluate should not be called “complex event processing” platforms. STAC refers to these this class of software as “event processing platforms” (EPP).
“EPP is a fairly new product [...]

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 [...]
