TIBCO Silver v. Amazon EC2: First Impressions
Just coming off a ten day vacation, I was planning to write a few posts on a few “pure” scientific topics like string theory, complexity, and emergence. However, a few folks contacted me and asked me my opinion on TIBCO Silver; so, I thought I would at least blog on my first impressions. TIBCO’s [...]
Read moreIT Infrastructure: Capability as a Service
Our recent post, for example, SOA in Cardiac Arrest, Long Live Services and Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS), combined with many great blog posts I have read in the new year, has got me thinking about IT infrastructure services. Software as a Service (SaaS) is a bit boring to discuss. However, Capability as a [...]

Does Amazon SQS and other “messaging as a service” applications mean that companies can start to think about reducing their ongoing expenses of licensed or hosted messaging systems? According to Amazon, Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) offers a reliable, highly scalable, hosted queue for storing messages as they travel between computers. By using Amazon [...]

Read moreA Blast from the Past: CEP at Stanford,1998-2003
Courtesy of Complex Event Processing at Stanford Complex event processing (CEP) is a new technology. It can be applied to extracting and analyzing information from any kind of distributed message-based system. It is developed from the Rapide concepts of (1) causal event modeling, (2) event patterns and pattern matching, and (3) event pattern maps and [...]
Read moreMore on CEP Maturity: Capability Versus Reliability
Louis Lovas of Progress Apama wrote a complimentary blog entry on the topic at hand, CEP Maturity Models. In his post, Louis says: “What a CEP platform has tracks independently of what it is capable of doing. ….. What CEP does, is likely what Tim is referring to when he states we’re in the Technology Trigger phase.” [...]
Read moreOn the Maturity of CEP
Deciphering the Myths Around Complex Event Processing by Ivy Schmerken stimulated a recent flurry of blog posts about the maturity of CEP, including; Mark Palmer’s CEP Myths: Mature or Not? and Opher Etzion’s On Maturity. I agree with Ivy. CEP is not yet a mature technology by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, I agree with all [...]
