Gartner Event Processing Summit (and EPTS Meeting), Sept 2008

Many folks have been sending me email, inquiring if I will be attending the Gartner Event Processing Summit, September 15-16 or the 4th Event Processing Symposium, September 17-19, 2008 (the EPTS meeting).    I regret not attending either event this year and will miss getting together with everyone.  In addition, I would like to thank Opher and the EPTS team for [...]

EPTS: Proposed Event Processing Definitions, September 20, 2006

EPTS: An Event Processing Marketing Society (EPMS)

A number of months ago we posted Some Comments on the EPTS Member Agreement where we concluded, in summary:
“I have quite a few other concerns the with EPTS Member Agreement.   Basically, the agreement needs to be written with an eye toward a more flexible, open and inclusive process that puts the future of the EPTS square into [...]

The Fallacy of Self-Fulfilling CEP Use Case Studies

I am back at the glaring computer screen after a day in Lamphun, Northern Thailand, hanging out will my friends who are preparing for a Bonsai tree competition.  I spent the day eating Thai and Chinese food and relaxing in a lounge chair under imported blue palm trees with the sound of exotic birds making background music to [...]

On CEP as a Discipline

In  CEP as a Discipline,  David Luckham wrote: 
“Actually, it is fair to say that some of CEP can be found in other disciplines. Event processing has been going on in one form or another, for the past 50 years. Simulation, Networking, Active DBs, Middleware.
{ …. }
CEP has only just begun. The foundations are unexplored. Its [...]

The Grammar of Complex and Intelligent Events

Folks defining CEP, and now this new term IEP, have been very passionate over the past few years that “Complex Event Processing” means the Processing of “Complex Events” not the “Complex Processing” of Events.   
Grammatically speaking, it follows that Complex is an adjective describing a noun, Event; and Processing is a verb. 
Complex events are defined by the same community as composite [...]

On Elephants and Analytics

In On EP and Analytics, good friend and respected colleague Opher Etzion applies the well known metaphor of the big elephant to describe how, if you are observing certain specific domains of a subject, like fraud detection, then your view of the whole elephant is biased by your lack of perspective of the entire big elephant.
I am pleased that dear Opher continues [...]

Clouding and Confusing the CEP Community

Ironically, our favorite software vendors have decided, in a nutshell, to redefine Dr. David Luckham’s definition of “event cloud” to match the lack-of-capabilities in their products.  
This is really funny, if you think about it. 
The definition of “event cloud” was coordinated over a long (over two year) period with the leading vendors in the event processing community and is based on the [...]
