http://www.thecepblog.com Will CEP Mitigate Global Warming, Cyberattacks, Bioterrorism & Traffic Congestion? Tune In and Find Out. Mon, 08 Sep 2008 13:34:56 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en 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 ... http://www.thecepblog.com/2008/09/08/modelling-air-traffic-control/ 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 ... http://www.thecepblog.com/2008/09/07/modelling-shoplifting/ Interested in content routing and event preprocessing supporting future CEP applications?  Check out Solace Systems.  You can click on the image below for a better picture of the Solace architecture for event processing. Solace provides sophisticated middleware functionality in hardware to monitor, filter, route, transform and secure very large volumes of events in ... http://www.thecepblog.com/2008/09/06/supporting-cep-with-solace-3230-and-solace-3260-content-routers/ For our confused CEO blogger over at StreamBase, who thinks an Internet backbone router is the small $30 device he set up in his home office, here is a photo of a the Cisco 7600 OSR which of course runs CISCO IOS. The Cisco 7600 OSR consists of a 256 Gbps switching fabric and ... http://www.thecepblog.com/2008/09/06/cisco-7600-osr-backbone-router/ In More Towards a Streaming SQL Standard, Marc Adler says, "Despite what I think about Streambase's marketing and sales organization, you must admit that Zdonik and Cherniack are first-class researchers, and have contributed a lot to the field of CEP." I agree that these gentlemen are top notch researchers, witnessed by the ... http://www.thecepblog.com/2008/09/05/towards-a-streaming-sql-standard/ In a follow up to a couple of recent posts on routing and why routing is not really CEP, kindly find my 1997 IEEE paper, for historical reference and a bit of background information, on global Internet routing: http://www.thecepblog.com/2008/09/05/internet-exterior-routing-protocol-development-problems-issues-and-misconceptions-1999/ 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 ... http://www.thecepblog.com/2008/09/05/streaming-sql-approaches-insist-in-ignoring-causality-by-patternstorm/ Recently someone asked about business in Thailand.  Here is my first post on this challenging topic: First of all, as background information, I learned the Thai alphabet (script with 44 consonants and 32 vowels) nearly 20 years ago, so I have have a pretty decent foundation for the Thai language compared to most foreigners ... http://www.thecepblog.com/2008/09/05/business-in-thailand-part-1-the-challenge/ Interestingly, CEP is Not BPM, BAM, BRE, BRMS or SOA stimulated many great comments and the rebuttal Smart Order Routing and CEP - Made for Each Other.  James Taylor responded with Business rules, decisions and events.   I followed up with CEP is Not Low Latency Messaging, EAI or ESB and James replied in turn with Still ... http://www.thecepblog.com/2008/09/04/more-on-why-routing-is-not-complex-event-processing/ In respose to CEP is Not BPM, BAM, BRE, BRMS or SOA, fellow blogger Mark Palmer posts, Smart Order Routing and CEP - Made for Each Other.   Mark does a good job describing his perspective on smart order routing (SOR), yet his counterpoint that SOR is "complex event processing" is quite unconvincing.
