TIBCO BusinessEvents 3.0

I was pleased to read the Paul Vincent’s post, TIBCO BusinessEvents 3.0.    TIBCO has always had a forward thinking vision for distributed computing and this release of BE 3.0 is another step in the right direction.  TIBCO now has the only commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) event processing platform on the market that supports distributed event processing, multi-agent [...]

CEP 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 of [...]

The Secret Sauce is the Situation Models

Alan Lundberg wrote, Intelligent Business Process Platform? in response to Bringing Order to Chaos where someone from PWC linked event processing to business intelligence and business process management.  In turn, James Taylor penned Using decision management to deliver intelligent business performance where James rightly said that it does not require “heroic efforts” to integrate event processing, BI, BPM and [...]

The Magical ATM Card and SMS Message in Thailand

It was not too long ago that I penned Keyloggers: Why Banks Need Two-Factor Authentication. In that post, I briefly mentioned how a number of banks in Thailand use inexpensive SMS-based two-factor authentication (2FA) with one-time password (OTP) to authenticate transactions.
One of my favorite banks in Thailand is K-Bank. With K-Bank I can simply walk [...]

A Brief Introduction to Blackboard Architectures

A blackboard architecture is a distributed computing architecture where distributed applications, modelled as intelligent agents, share a common data structure called the “blackboard” and a scheduling/control process. The blackboard can be either centeralized or distributed, depending on the requirements and constraints of the application(s).
To solve a complex problem in the blackboard-style, the intelligent [...]

Messaging and Event Processing

In  On Messaging and Events asks, “Is event processing just fancy name to message processing ?”
Most event processing systems would be incomplete without the ability to process events in the form of messages.   Messages can be delivered in either a connection-oriented protocol or a connectionless protocol.   Most enterprise-class messaging systems have both.   Many messaging systems have features [...]

Two-Thirds of Our Readers Say CEP is Still Immature

After some interesting discussions in the blogosphere, the results of our less-than-scientific Poll: Where is CEP Relative to the Gartner Hype Cycle? are in!  Two-thirds of our passionate-about-CEP readers believe that CEP still is in the very early stages of maturity. 
Only 6% of the those who responded to the poll, conducted from July 3 thru July 12th, voted that [...]

A Blast from the Past: Processing Patterns for Predictive Business, March 2006

The same key points of that [...]

Real Time Estimation and Prediction Using Optimistic Simulation and Control Theory Techniques

Jeffrey S. Steinman, Ph.D. WarpIV Technologies, Inc and Timothy Busch, Ph.D., Air Force Research Labs, Rome Labs describe ongoing R&D in a wide variety of use cases that benefit from continuous real-time state estimation to predict future outcomes.
This presentation is an excellent example of the future of complex event processing where the notion of using [...]
