In Orwellian Event Processing the discussion moved away from my original intent, which was primarily to discuss the vendor-state-of-denial regarding the prior art for processing complex events, and gravitated toward a discussion on the “inefficiencies” of rule-based systems. I was surprised learn that there are professionals who believe that there is no basis in fact [...]

Recently we completed the installation and training of an open source Bayesian classifier to replace a rule-based approach to manage forum spam. In a nutshell, we found the rule-based approach was highly prone to both false positives and false negatives; however, a statistical approach using a Bayesian approach has turned out to be far superior. [...]

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 [...]

Lately I have been busy with a web-based geo-targeting project. For those of you not familiar with geo-targeting, the deeper you get into geo-targeting, the more you realize how important and interesting it is. Geo-targeting is used for fraud detection, personalization, ad-targeting, content-delivery, and more. In addition, the same basic concept is used [...]

Take the quiz. Event Processing 101.
The big question is, “Who will copy me and start posting CEP/EP quizzes next?”
Stay tuned for my next CEP/EP quiz, after I return from a 2 week vacation (sometime in August!)

I was doing some research on cyberspace situational awareness and was honored to noticed my prior art was referenced in a 2008 patent application by the Commonwealth of Australia. Here are some notable quotes from this patent application of an “event handling system.”
Section 8 of this part gives a brief overview of the requirement [...]

Here is an excellent Google TechTalk by Dr. Majorie Shapiro (LBL & LHC ATLAS), June 18, 2007, on processing complex events at the LHC called, Supersymmetry, Extra Dimensions and the Origin of Mass: Exploring the Nature of the Universe Using PetaScale Data Analysis.
This is really what I would call “real-time CEP.” Bean collisions at the [...]
