Twenty 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:

The 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 [...]

Modelling 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 in [...]

The Kum Bai Ya of Event Processing

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 [...]

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 [...]

On CEP as a Discipline

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 [...]

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

For readers interested in complex event processing and a few of the challenges the industry faces, here is a presentation from 28 months back called Processing Patterns for Predictive Business.   This presentation was delivered at the first Workshop on Event Processing - Presentations at IBM Research Labs, Yorktown Heights, March 14-16th 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 [...]
