As we have seen, one of the best ways to predict global events is by placing the possible event outcomes in the community (marketplace). Here is a (free) Event Prediction Marketplace where technical folks in a community can place their virtual (not cash) bets on technology, science and technology M&A events (or non-events) such [...]

The Amazon Elastic MapReduce team has a sample application, CloudFront LogAnalyzer, designed to analyze Amazon CloudFront access logs. This tool provided users with the power of Amazon Elastic MapReduce to quickly turn access log data into actionable intelligence.
Access logs are activity records about all requests delivered through Amazon CloudFront and contains a valuable set [...]

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 Review of Zabbix - Zabbix Rules! (Part 1) we provided a brief introduction to Zabbix in the context of network and security management. In this post I will discuss Zabbix as an event processing platform.
Zabbix is like most event processing platforms. Zabbix provides both agent-initiated events as well as server-requested events. [...]

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 [...]

I often wonder why there is tension in the world of CEP about the complexity of the events and the required processing to identify complex events. Then, about a month ago, I was helping a friend with her masters degree thesis. She is about to graduate with her masters degree in international business and is [...]

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, [...]

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 [...]
