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 [...]

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 [...]

I was pleased to read the Paul Vincent’s post, TIBCO BusinessEvents 3.0. TIBCO has always had a forward thinking vision for distributed computing and this release of BE 3.0 is another step in the right direction. TIBCO now has the only commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) event processing platform on the market that supports distributed event processing, multi-agent [...]

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 [...]

The following excellent discussion is reposted from Streaming SQL approaches insist in ignoring causality by PatternStorm.
The recent paper “Towards a Streaming SQL Standard” by Oracle and Streambase unifies and generalizes two different execution models of Streaming SQL: Oracle’s and StreamBase’s.
While it’s true that the generalization succeeds in overcoming the unability of both execution models of producing [...]

Peter Lin comments in A Complex Event = Sum (Events) + Situational Knowledge, continuing the discussion by asking ”What is the definition of analytics? Is it purely a calculation, or something else?”
A good place to being to look for clues to an answer is Wikipedia, where the opinion of the author there is,
”A simple and practical definition, however, would [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Paul Vincent, ex-colleague at TIBCO, kindly responds to A Brief Introduction to Blackboard Architectures with Blackboards for Complex Event Processing. Paul correctly mentions that TIBCO’s BusinessEvents software is an excellent scheduling component in a blackboard systems architecture.
However, I should briefly clarify Paul’s note that “blackboard systems historically used a single memory model (i.e. [...]
