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 [...]

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 [...]

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 in [...]

Kindred spirit Marc Adler mentions being a bit ”turned off” by the sniping back-and-forth in the CEP/EP blog-o-sphere. This was exactly how I felt in early 2006 when folks were sniping back and forth about SQL standards and event stream processing (ESP). A group of vendors had created some stream processing engines and all were in “power positioning” mode with the acronyms “ESP” and ”CEP”, hoping to ride [...]

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, however, would [...]

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 [...]

In CEP as a Discipline, David Luckham wrote:
“Actually, it is fair to say that some of CEP can be found in other disciplines. Event processing has been going on in one form or another, for the past 50 years. Simulation, Networking, Active DBs, Middleware.

CEP has only just begun. The foundations are unexplored. Its [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
