EDA Visualized
Below is a graphic I put together for my September Gartner presentation, Getting Started in CEP: How to Build an Event Processing Application, called “EDA Visualized.” In this graphical representation of EDA, we show the sense-and-respond model around the functional CEP/EP reference architecture. I have slightly modified the traditional view of “Sense – Analyze – [...]

Wait a few moments for the file to download and see what Neo-Architects have to say about CEP…. I know you’re out there. I can feel you now. I know that you’re afraid… you’re afraid of CEP. You’re afraid of change. I don’t know the future. I didn’t come here to tell you how this [...]

Read moreCEP Myopia
Those with myopia see nearby objects clearly but distant objects appear blurred. Nearsightedness tends to run in families and usually appears in the early stages of life. It is a vision problem experienced by up to about one-third of the population. Nearsighted people have difficulty seeing the full picture, but can see up-close applications. Myopia [...]
Read moreBEA’s Event Server and Eclipse
Speaking of BEA, I really enjoyed this short BEA screencast showing how to change event stream processing rules and deploy the changes on-the-fly, in the their Eclipse design-time environment. This screencast shows an impressive Eclipse administrative interface to hot deploy their event server applications. Impressive. Great job David Reed of BEA!
Read moreBEA Event Server Screencast: Airport Lost Baggage Use Case
BEA has a nice screencast that demonstrates event processing in airport operations. Their screencast illustrates how WebLogic Event Server can be configured to detect missing events, a requirement often discussed in many CEP and ESP applications (not unique to BEA). The demo uses SL’s RTV, also used by TIBCO and Progress Apama, as a business [...]
Read moreMaking the Complex Simple with CEP
Many agree that the one of the most important aspects of complex event processing is making the power and flexibility of CEP analytics readily accessible to non-programmers. This important cornerstone of CEP is discussed in this excellent GCN article, Stream of Consciousness, mentioning StreamBase, Coral8, Progress Apama, and a new vendor in the CEP field, Truviso. [...]
Read moreCEP Opportunities at InformationSecurityAsia2007
Today is the first day here at InformationSecurityAsia2007. Interestingly, we heard from today’s keynote speakers about the emerging market for vulnerability auctions, eBay-like auction houses for buying and selling information security vulnerabilities to the highest bidder. Clearly, experts in Asia are focused on the same topics as experts worldwide. At the first break, I had [...]
