Suppose a quantum leap in commercially available CEP technology were to happen. What would it consist of?  I would guess that one of the new components would be something that we haven’t seen offered up till now,  tools to help users make greater use of abstraction than they do at present.

The purpose of this series of articles is to identify if all of the different approaches to handling events are part of a single market or whether they should be treated as separate.

Complex event processing, business event processing, security event management, log management, data retention systems, event-driven architecture, event warehousing: are these topics and other related ones all subsets of what is essentially a single market or are they distinct markets? In this and the following series of articles I will attempt to [...]

Future Applications of CEP

Now here’s a question. How would you characterize the current generation of CEP applications?
Well, let’s consider what we have. There are applications in markets such as algorithmic trading and financial services, patient flow monitoring in hospitals, routing and crew scheduling in transportation, monitoring service level agreements in call centers, consumer [...]

The financial markets are accelerating: transaction volumes are up, latencies are down, complex cross asset trading up, revenue margins down. Recently markets have seen sudden spikes in volumes, and nervous volatility when the old rules of thumb broke down. Technology and [...]

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 demands. [...]
