Quintessential Event Processing: Signature Versus Anomaly Detection

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 [...]

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:

So far, I have placed [...]

The Motivation Behind Adaptive Analytics and CEP

This is a continuation of The Genesis of Complex Event Processing: Asymmetric Capabilities and CEP, Event Noise and Asymmetric Event Processing where I have been discussing the motivation behind CEP and adaptive analytics in cyberspace.
Around the same time that Professor Luckham and his team was working on CEP applications in network management and security management, [...]

CEP, Event Noise and Asymmetric Event Processing

In The Genesis of Complex Event Processing: Asymmetric Capabilities I introduced the abstract concept of “asymmetric processing capabilities” to describe the foundations of complex event processing.   If you take a few moments to review the first CEP projects from Stanford University, you will see that the application of CEP was toward  solving myriad asymmetric event [...]

Probabilistic Complex Event Triggering

Reference:
Probabilistic Complex Event Triggering by Daisy Zhe Wang, Eirinaios Michelakis, and Liviu Tancau, Computer Science Division, University of California at Berkeley, Berkeley CA 94720, USA.
Abstract. Recently, wireless sensor devices have been widely deployed in various application settings (including environmental research, control systems, etc.). Because of the inherent unreliability of sensor readings, any kind of reasoning [...]

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 [...]

Modelling Shoplifting

The other day I was thinking that I should write about specific situation models and by coincident Marc Adler pens CEP and Shoplifting.  In Marc’s post, Marc begins to model shoplifting as if shoplifting is “market data,” with Level 1 to Level 4 shoplifting “quotes” - the natural approach for a brilliant guy from Citi.   In [...]

More on Why Routing is Not Complex Event Processing

Interestingly, CEP is Not BPM, BAM, BRE, BRMS or SOA stimulated many great comments and the rebuttal Smart Order Routing and CEP - Made for Each Other.  James Taylor responded with Business rules, decisions and events.   I followed up with CEP is Not Low Latency Messaging, EAI or ESB and James replied in turn with Still More on Event Processing.  It’s [...]

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 [...]

A Complex Event = Sum (Events) + Situational Knowledge

Sometimes we read some opinions about CEP where folks opine that ”complex event processing” is really about processing “complex events” and not about “complex” “event processing”.   The truth be told, processing “complex events” requires “complex” “event processing” so there is really no difference between the two ways of expressing CEP.
You can not process complex events in some [...]
