CEP conferences and meetings for 2009…
Posted by Paul Vincent
There are a few events already lined up for CEP this year. In chronological order:
- AAAi Intelligent Event Processing 2009: 23-25 March at Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA, USA as a part of AAAi. Sadly this conflicts with the OMG Washington DC Technical Meeting (where the PRR rule modeling standard is expected to be finalized, plus a Semantic Technology information day). Papers include CEP for fraud detection and compliance.
- DEBS 2009: 6-9 July at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, TN, USA - mixed academic and commercial R&D conference. Probably the main conference for CEP this year, and it’s expected that the EPTS meeting for 09 will be co-hosted with this event.
Other events that are expected to include some CEP coverage are:
- OMG real-time / standards in government: 13-15 July in Washington DC is expecting to have some coverage of CEP.
- Business Rules Forum: 1-5 Nov in Las Vegas. Apart from “intelligent decisioning” (where “intelligent behavior” should include “timely response”, and thence obviously includes event-based decisions!), a CEP workshop is planned. Probably there will be academic CEP papers at the co-hosted RuleML conference, too.
-
Gartner’s AADI Summit: 7-9 Dec, also in Vegas, is expected to include the content of the prior Gartner Event Processing Summits.
The schedule looks much the same as last year, in other words. Conference organisers are probably anxious about the effect of the “economic climate” on attendance figures, and sponsors will be watching budgets very carefully - so it will be interesting to see how this lot pans out, and whether any interesting breakthroughs are announced this year!

An interesting breakthrough will be announced this year, but it won’t be at any of thoses conferences. Dr Forgy will announce a successor to the Rete algorithm at ORF2009.

Hi Greg - I think James Owen is still determining the schedule for ORF - we don’t know yet whether it will cover rule-driven CEP. Nor do we know whether Dr Forgy (inventor of the Rete algorithm) is targeting stateful CEP-type rule requirements with his latest algorithm - it might be he is solving some other problem. We’ll see! For sure TIBCO will be shipping some other cool stuff by then too!
Cheers
