Complex Event Processing and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

A new class of event-driven applications is emerging to address business challenges in fraud prevention, risk management, compliance verification, customer service, customer acquisition, cross-sell and more.

These applications involve processes that are typically unpredictably non-linear (their timing and sequence cannot be defined in advance), dynamic (their characteristics change quite frequently), and continuously influenced by outside events (they can quickly mutate in response to real-time external activity).

The combination of business rules and predictive analytic models, sometimes called Enterprise Decision Management, can provide the infrastructure both to handle processes (by automating key decision points within them) and to handle complex events. I agree that there is a role for specialized technology to handle events, just like there is a role for technology to handle data or content, but I think companies need to control how decisions are made against those events the same as they need to control how decisions are made inside processes.
