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.

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 [...]

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. [...]

It was 1992, the Internet was still an uncertain “dream technology” by scientists, and I was working at SprintLink. My role was the lead systems engineer to set up the network and security management center for SprintLink and Managed Router Network (MRN) team.
We used HP Open View Network Node Manager (NNM) for our core network [...]

It was almost three years ago when I was introduced to the buzzword “complex event processing” by good friends and colleagues at TIBCO Software. At TIBCO (before and during my time there) we always discussed how “real-time event processing” would be a technology to address “the needle in the haystack” detection problems in the big [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
