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 [...]

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” [...]

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 [...]

Recently we penned The Attack of the Spiders from the Clouds where we mentioned how cloud computing infrastructures can be used to stage malicous or accidential network attacks.
Today I challenge our CEP/ESP/EP vendors (or SIs) to create the following solution to detect and block rogue bots on Apache web sites. I will install and test [...]

Alan Lundberg wrote, Intelligent Business Process Platform? in response to Bringing Order to Chaos where someone from PWC linked event processing to business intelligence and business process management. In turn, James Taylor penned Using decision management to deliver intelligent business performance where James rightly said that it does not require “heroic efforts” to integrate event processing, BI, BPM and [...]

Professor David Luckham posts a good question in Measuring a Market’s Maturity. Here is a slightly revised reprint of our reply:
A few folks have tried to tie “maturity” to “if the code is robust” or “if the product has certain product features.” The way we have addressed this emerging controversy over at The CEP blog is [...]

Often you will read or hear people talking about CEP and they will define a “complex event” as an event composed of other event-objects. Caution is advised, because a complex event is more than just a simple composite or aggregation of other events.
For example, in my earlier post Modelling Situations for Event Processing, we illustrated [...]

CEP, in a nutshell, is about the real-time detection of business opportunities and threats in cyberspace. Business opportunities and threats are often referred to as situations, so we can simply say that CEP is about the real-time situation detection.
We represent situations in the domain of event processing by building and [...]

After some interesting discussions in the blogosphere, the results of our less-than-scientific Poll: Where is CEP Relative to the Gartner Hype Cycle? are in! Two-thirds of our passionate-about-CEP readers believe that CEP still is in the very early stages of maturity.
Only 6% of the those who responded to the poll, conducted from July 3 thru July 12th, voted that [...]
