A complex system is defined as a system composed of related components that as a whole exhibit one or more properties not obvious from the easily observed properties of the individual parts. This is certainly true of the CEP notion of the “event cloud” in network systems. A modern energy or telecommunications network is [...]

Opher Etzion responds to the onging confusion with On basic classification of terms. First of all, there has been confusion in the CEP/EP community since the term “CEP” was coined, so the confusion is nothing new. Second, one of the main sources of confusion is the Event Processing Technical Society (EPTS), chaired by Opher. The [...]

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 [...]

Folks are worried about the future of CEP.
Vendors have spun so much misinformation around the term “CEP” that this three letter acronym (TLA) has begun to have little meaning other than to reflect a confusing web of solutions overhyped around a few relatively simple stream processing engines, used primarily in financial services. Frankly speaking, in [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

In his Followup to “Do you need a Commercial CEP System?” Marc calls out Progress Apama and their great work in financial services. I have always liked Apama’s product and what they are doing; however, we should be clear on the difference between marketing and technology.
Progress Apama was the company who, when the buzzword “CEP” [...]

Sometimes I think Marc Adler is reading my mind, and I wonder how he does it. I have been thinking for weeks about writing a detailed post about why Algorithmic Trading is not Complex Event Processing; but then Marc pens the thoughtful, Do You Really Need a Commercial CEP Engine?
In his post, Marc [...]

I recently purchased a Holux M-231 GPS Logger and have been having some fun geoblogging, for example, see my new microblog, What’s On Chiang Mai, a mashup blog with WordPress and GeoPress. As many of you Geotaggers already know, it is really amazing that you can spend less than $100 USD on a geologger that [...]
