The Cyberwar Against Marketing Hype
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 [...]
Read more(Yawn) Aleri Buys Coral8 – (Wow) Citigroup Stock Falls Below A Buck!
I think Mark over at Citi has been drinking too much of Aleri’s wine over at Columbus Circle. For some reason (must be the wine and marketing hype), Marc thinks that Aleri absorbing Coral8 is “earth-shattering news” ? Obviously, Aleri and Coral8 would like for us to think it was, in Marc’s words “earth-shattering [...]
Read moreCustomer Satisfaction and Customer Expectations in CEP
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 [...]
Read moreTrend Prediction in Network Monitoring Systems
Following up on Real-Time Predictive Analytics for Web Servers I thought we should “move up a level” and look at various open network monitoring platforms with trend prediction capabilities. 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 [...]
Read moreReal-Time Predictive Analytics for Web Servers
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 [...]
Read moreReasoning and Complexity
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 [...]
Read moreOne Small Step for Statistical Classification, One Giant Leap for CEP
Professor Luckham posted a question, Is there a commercial need for quantum leap in CEP products? He then goes on to answer his own question, reminding readers of the original CEP discussion of “event hierarchies,” now an apparent “quantum leap” technology. When folks discuss “event hierarchies” they are actually discussing Classification in Complex Event Processing [...]

I have been blogging about the importance of the Amazon EC2 services model for quite some time, including these posts Computing in the Clouds with AWS CEP as a Service (CEPaaS) with MapReduce on Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3 SOA in Cardiac Arrest, Long Live Services, SOA in Cardiac Arrest, Long Live Services Analytics as [...]
