Professor Luckham wrote about CEP and the future of global Air Traffic Control (ATC) in The Future Event Driven World: Global Air Traffic Management. One of the first commercial applications of complex event processing was in the early 1960s in the field of commercial aviation, for example see the history of Air Traffic Control.
Although experimental [...]

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 [...]

Just as I was starting to worry that complex event processing community has been captured by RDBMS pirates off the coast of Somalia, I rediscovered a new core blackboard architecture component, Hadoop.
Hadoop is a framework for building applications on large commodity clusters while transparently providing applications with both reliability and data motion. Hadoop implements [...]

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 [...]

I read the debate (here, here and here) on how Complex Event Processing (CEP) fits into the wider software architectural themes of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Event Driven Architectures (EDA). More comments and blog posts followed (including this one, and this one). Frankly speaking, I was surprised to see so much misunderstanding on fundamental [...]
