More on The Value of (Production) Rules

Paul Vincent of TIBCO wrote an outstanding post, The Value of (Production) Rules … Paul correctly notes:
In summary, of course,  event-processing rules, event-driven rules, and rules for business decisions can all overlap, depending on the application.
By coincidence, I was reading an excellent paper recently, Reactive Rules on the Web. In this Springer-Verlag paper, the distinguished [...]

Should We Simply Rename CEP BRMS?

Seemingly inundated with blog posts about CEP and BRMS, it seems we should simply rename the current CEP space, BRMS.  All of the current self-described CEP products on the market today are rules-engines, this includes the continuous query stream processors and the RETE engines.  Furthermore, a quick review of Wikipedia says BRMS is, as follows [...]

One of the many effects of the credit crisis is that Wall Street firms have found a new focus for their complex event processing projects. Although they’re not abandoning CEP-based algorithmic trading, new CEP initiatives are focused on measuring and managing risk.
With its ability to watch and apply business [...]

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 Low Latency Messaging, EAI or ESB

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.
I agree with Mark that SOR is important [...]

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 [...]

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