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 [...]

Our Call for Public CEP Reference Clients for 2008 and on-line research has revealed some expected less-than-encouraging CEP news for 2008. In a year of downwardly falling capital markets, a continued recession in real-estate markets, unending war and global uncertainty, we find there are myriad CEP partnership and OEM annoucements, quite a few mysterious “secret tribe of elders” awards and a lot of marketing releases [...]

Catching up on the blogs, I couldn’t help but comment on, Is CEP Mature? Or a Curious Case of Information Asymmetry by Mark Tsimelzon, President & CTO, Coral8. Mark says,
“I know for a fact that every major CEP vendor has several dozen paying customers.”
Somehow Mark, I don’t find a dozen paying customers by the top [...]

In Waters Rankings 2008, Waters stirs the mud and confusion in the CEP/EP community by having their constituents vote on both an ESP solution and an CEP solution set, but giving both awards to vendors with stream processing (ESP) engines.
The two CEP/ESP related Waters’ categories were, Best Streaming Data Management Solution and Best Complex Event Processing [...]

In Coral8 is Our Choice or “How the Hell Did We Get Here?”, Marc Adler does his normal (and now expected) fantastic job of cutting past the CEP marketing hype and getting to the meat of the issues, from an actual user’s perspective. Marc is spot on in his evaluation of the various so-called CEP vendors. [...]

Mark Tsimelzon, President & CTO, Coral8 replies to CEP Product Complexity at Coral8 with More on CEP and Complexity.
In Mark’s reply he gently reminds us that the Coral8 Engine is a developer’s tool, not a business users tool. Mark also tacitly reminds us that his customers are a bit smarter than our development team at Techrotech. Perhaps that is why we can [...]

In What makes a Coral8 Expert?, Coral8 CTO Mark Tsimelzon outlines nearly 60 subject areas that a customer must master to become a Coral8 expert.
While this complexity is impressive, it tends to demonstrate why CEP is, today, more hype than reality.
I can hear the team at Techrotech in my mind, “Yea! Greg purchased Coral8 for our CEP solutions [...]

Sandy Carter, IBM’s vice president of SOA and WebSphere strategies, said something in IBM Buys AptSoft To Boost BPM-SOA Line I completely agree with, relative to most of the technologies folks are calling “CEP” these days:
“In the marketplace today, everybody talks about complex event processing,” Carter said. “We actually are trying to rename [...]

Today I noticed that SL Corporation has revamped their website with a new page, Solutions for CEP Engine Users. The page is well written, reinforcing some of my earlier posts on the value proposition for CEP; so I hope the folks at SL don’t mind if I repost their excellent thoughts on BAM and CEP here.
Solutions for CEP Engine Users [...]

Not quite ready for prime-time, we have been testing our home-grown UNIX domain socket adapter using Coral8 Java APIs. We are using this adapter to evaluate and demonstrate stream processing with intrusion detection systems (IDS) using event stream processing to reduce false alarms, detect derived situations from the raw intrusion event data, and feed a security management visualization dashboard.
You [...]
