Real Men do Event Processing…
Posted by Paul Vincent
… apparently, judging by the all-male attendance at this week’s CEP Summer School near Oslo, Norway. That must mean a lot of quiche left for those still consumed by mere static data processing…
This morning saw the Introduction by co-host Prof Jacobsen (Univ of Toronto) and Smart (event-driven) Systems by Prof Chandy (CalTech). I see Mani Chandy has a new blog, covering smart, community-based sense-and-respond systems of the ilk he described this morning: community measurements of earthquake seismic data via cheap USB sensors exploiting everyone-has-internet access. This is a somewhat more believable version of “community CEP” than the “lets do CEP on Twitter events” mantra that recently did the rounds on CEP discussion boards - although of course the latter is fine as one of many news-gathering-sensors for those organizations needing to monitor, er, real-time news.

Looks like a need for semantic event processing
