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 [...]

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 [...]

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:

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, [...]

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 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 [...]

The following quote is from Complex Event Processing – An Emerging Paradigm in Business Intelligence, Security and Monitoring and Control by Evo Eftimov, iSec Consulting Ltd
“Complex Event Processing (CEP) is a technology which has been used for many years in the Aerospace and Defence Industry for Situational Awareness and Data Fusion modules in Command, Control, [...]

We have seen a lot of discussions of cloud computing in the news recently, as a technology to permit “users to access technology-enabled services without knowledge of, expertise with, nor control over the technology infrastructure that supports them.” This sounds great doesn’t it?! Users with little to no IT expertise can log into the cloud and [...]

The admin team at The UNIX Forums have been considering moving the UNIX and Linux Forums to the clouds - the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. Amazon EC2 is one option to scale the forums, which is a LAMP application.
Amazon EC2 allows us to rent dedicated servers (instances) on-demand to run applications, such as the forums. Then we can run 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 [...]
