by David Luckham This second article follows on from part 1 on the history of complex event processing CEP is the logical and obvious next step in the development of event processing that was described in our first article. The explosion of event traffic over the past twenty years has created a new set of [...]
by K. Mani Chandy and Michael Olson California Institute of Technology Event-driven applications that are constructed as compositions of Web applications offer significant benefits. Just as mashups compose Web services to create added value, so too can compositions of event-driven applications create added value. This article first reviews concepts about event driven applications, sense & [...]
by David Luckham The demand for processing higher level events, often called business events,has expanded rapidly over the past three or four years. In writing a short history of the development of CEP to meet the demands of these new markets, I have needed to refer often to a set of concepts that forms the [...]
by Tom Lubinski, SL Corporation. Abstract – Business Activity Monitoring Applications are becoming increasingly common and sophisticated. Much can be learned about the analysis and visualization of real-time data from comparisons with previous generations of process monitoring and telemetry systems. While there are similarities, there are also significant differences in the technology involved in the [...]
April 25th 2008: An update to a previous article A previous article described the event processing requirements needed to support “Global Air Traffic Management“. The main theme of a number of articles published on this site is that the underlying event processing requirements for many global monitoring systems such as air traffic control, epidemiology monitoring, [...]
by Philip Howard, Director of Research – Technology, Bloor Research 02-18-2008, Bloor Research © 2008 The complex event processing (CEP) market is evolving. It has got beyond the stage where people are worried about what to call it: should it be called CEP, ESP (event stream processing) or just plain event processing? Indeed EPTS (the [...]

by David Luckham First of two articles on the development of complex event processing Event processing has been going on for more than fifty years. So, you might well ask, what’s new about Complex Event Processing? Well, its different from what was going on fifty or thirty or even fifteen years ago. This article is [...]

Part 2: Requirements for a future epidemic early warning system by David Luckham This is the second of three articles on future event-driven early warning systems for epidemic outbreaks I will ask you to suspend disbelief for a moment. The overall task from a top level point of view is monumental. Your primary reaction will [...]

Part 1 The Present Situation (revised 1-10-2008) by David Luckham This is the first of three articles on event-driven early warning systems for global epidemic outbreaks. Isn’t it about time that monitoring for outbreaks of highly transmittable diseases throughout the world is based on a real time, autonomous, event processing infrastructure? Especially since in this [...]
by David Luckham Do you think you’ll ever live in a world where air traffic is completely managed globally by a system of autonomous processes? The system consists of processes executing on banks of redundant, fail-safe machines and communicating with one another across the Internet of the future. There are processes on the ground and [...]
