Quintessential Event Processing: Signature Versus Anomaly Detection
Detection experts understand that the optimal detection design and architecture is generally a combination of both signature and anomaly detection engines. In event processing, signature detection involves the real-time pattern matching analysis of events. A core advantage of signature detection is that basic pattern matching models are easy to understand and develop when you [...]

Remember all the fun we had when we carved out race cars for our Pinewood Derby? For those of you are were not apart of this great American Cub Scout culture, the pinewood derby is a racing event for Cub Scouts in the Boy Scouts of America. Cub Scouts, with the help of their parents, [...]
Read moreTwenty Four CEP Public Presentations on SlideShare
For archiving purposes, I have uploaded 24 public CEP presentations that I presented over an 18 month period at various conferences from March 14, 2006 to September 21, 2007. These presentations can be viewed here. For example, my first public CEP presentation: View SlideShare presentation or Upload your own. (tags: event processing) So far, I [...]
Read moreThe Genesis of Complex Event Processing: Asymmetric Capabilities
More often than not, folks working in the field of complex event processing do not truly understand CEP. We often see the same folks try to position and mischaracterize CEP as business process orchestration, business process management, event-driven architecture or even an evolution of service-oriented architecture. Well-intended, this mischaracterization of CEP is often for sales [...]

FUSION 2006 Technical Program, Paper Number: 200, Tuesday, 11 July 2006 Special Session: Situation Management I Paper: Complex Event Processing approach for strategic intelligence Authors: Nicolas Museux, Juliette Mattioli, Claire Laudy and Helene Soubaras Abstract: One of the key issues of strategic intelligence within a crisis situation is to build an early assessment of the [...]
Read moreModelling Air Traffic Control
Today I will discuss a general approach to model air traffic control (ATC) using our CEP/EP reference architecture which is an application of the mature JDL multisensor data fusion model. ATC is an excellent working example of complex event processing. Radar and GPS provide the basic sensory information to accurately track and trace the position of each aircraft [...]
Read moreModelling Shoplifting
The other day I was thinking that I should write about specific situation models and by coincident Marc Adler pens CEP and Shoplifting. In Marc’s post, Marc begins to model shoplifting as if shoplifting is “market data,” with Level 1 to Level 4 shoplifting “quotes” – the natural approach for a brilliant guy from Citi. In [...]
Read moreStreaming SQL Approaches Insist in Ignoring Causality by PatternStorm
The following excellent discussion is reposted from Streaming SQL approaches insist in ignoring causality by PatternStorm. The recent paper “Towards a Streaming SQL Standard” by Oracle and Streambase unifies and generalizes two different execution models of Streaming SQL: Oracle’s and StreamBase’s. While it’s true that the generalization succeeds in overcoming the unability of both execution models [...]
Read moreCEP is Not BPM, BAM, BRE, BRMS or SOA
A post in Technology content of current CEP products? reminds me of why I rarely, if ever, agree with anything that comes out of Aleri’s marketing team. To fair to Jeff, it is not only Aleri but others, who continually misdefine business process management (BPM) as CEP. Jeff uses the example, “Smart Order Routing” as an example [...]
Read moreCEP and Analytics
Peter Lin comments in A Complex Event = Sum (Events) + Situational Knowledge, continuing the discussion by asking ”What is the definition of analytics? Is it purely a calculation, or something else?” A good place to being to look for clues to an answer is Wikipedia, where the opinion of the author there is, ”A simple and practical definition, [...]
