Original Survey on Event Processing Languages
A few of us have been discussing event processing languages (EPLs) for a number of years, advocating that SQL-like languages are appropriate for certain classes of CEP/EP problems, but not all. Some readers might recall that I published a draft survey on EPLs to the Yahoo! CEP Interest group titled, (DRAFT) A Survey of Event Processing Languages (EPLs), October 15, 2006 (version [...]
Read moreClustered Databases Versus Virtualization for CEP Applications
In my earlier post, A Model For Distributed Event Processing, I promised to address grid computing, distributed object caching and virtualization, and how these technologies relate to complex event processing. Some of my readers might forget my earlier roots in networking if I continue to talk about higher level abstractions! So, in this follow-up post I will discuss virtualization relative to [...]

Here is an interested article by Nathan Conz and Melanie Rodier, Predictive Analytics and Complex Event Processing Technology Move to Cutting Edge of Financial Services Industry. In the article, Aite estimates that revenues for CEP-related products will quadruple in the next two years reaching $460 million by 2010. The broader event processing (EP) category, which [...]

I predict we may experience less debates on the use of the term “event cloud” related to CEP in the future, now that both IBM and Google have made announcements about “cloud computing” and “computing cloud”, IBM Turning Data Centers Into ‘Computing Cloud’ “The initiative also builds on IBM’s announcement with Google last month that they are developing cloud [...]

I have just been invited to speak at a November 2007 Weath Management conference in Asia. My presentation will be, How Information Technology Can Be Used to Detect Opportunities and Threats in Wealth Management, with an abstract as follows: Managing risk and exploiting financial opportunities are converging as complementary business models in today’s Internet dependent world. [...]

In my last post, Analytical Patterns for Complex Event Processing, I provided an overview of a few slides I presented in March of 2006 at first event processing symposium titled Processing Patterns for Predictive Business. In that same presentation (slide 15), I also introduced a generic high level architecture (HLA) for event processing in the illustration below: The figure above is a [...]
Read moreAnalytical Patterns for Complex Event Processing
Back in March of 2006 during my enjoyable times at TIBCO Software, I presented a keynote at the first event processing symposium, Processing Patterns for Predictive Business. In that presentation, I introduced a functional event processing reference architecture and highlighted the importance of mapping the business requirements for event processing to appropriate processing analytics and patterns. The figure below [...]
Read moreBAM: The Cherry on Top of the CEP Pie?
If you read the posts on the net on CEP and BAM you might start to think that the main purpose of visualization in event processing is a BAM dashboard. This is quite a narrow view of both CEP and visualization; so kindly permit me to “debunk the marketing myths” that BAM is simply the [...]
Read moreCrossing the Ocean to “Discover” BAM, BI, BPM, BRE, CEP, EDA, ESP, and SOA
There have been a number of posts recently about Complex Event Processing (CEP), Business Intelligence (BI) and Business Activity Monitoring (BAM). For example, James Taylor, in Complex Event Processing is Not about BI, responds to John Trigg’s The Opportunity for Business Intelligence: Is it Evolution or Revolution? who was motivated by Larry Goldman, Customer Intelligence: Event-Processing [...]
