Smart
Systems and
Sense-and-Respond Behavior:
The Time for Event
Processing is Now
W.
Roy Schulte, Vice President
and Distinguished Analyst,
Gartner
The need for
situation awareness and
sense-and-respond behavior
is no longer limited to
niche applications.
Virtually every large new
system in business, defense,
and government is becoming
event-driven in some aspects
of its operation. This
overview session will
introduce the fundamentals
of event processing, and
explain where it is used and
why it is a fundamental part
of smart devices and smart
applications of all kinds.
- How does continuous
monitoring enable
situation awareness and
provide earlier
detection of threats and
opportunities?
- What design patterns
form the basis of smart
devices and event-driven
processes?
- Which technologies and
product categories are
applied to different
event processing usage
scenarios?

Case
Study: Event Distribution
Architecture at Sabre
Airline Solutions
Christopher
Bird, Chief Architect at
Sabre Airline Solutions
Christopher Bird will
present the event
distribution architecture in
use within Sabre Airline
Solutions. This event
distribution architecture is
used as the backbone for
delivering events and
content through the high
volume, reliably network
within Sabre.
Of special interest is
overcoming the following
issues:
- Large payload delivery
- Validation in the
delivery network
- Situational awareness
- Management of control
structures
- Message redelivery and
failure semantics
- Use of the event
network for test data
distribution

Event
Processing - Seven Years
from Now
Opher
Etzion, IBM Senior Technical
Staff Member and chair of
the Event Processing
Technical Society
While event processing is
considered as an emerging
technology in enterprise
computing, it has barely
scratched the surface of its
potential. This talk will
illustrate a world in which
event processing is
everywhere, consumed by
everybody, and used for
enterprises as well as
consumers.
First, we survey six
trends:
- Going from narrow to
wide coverage
- Going from monolithic
to diversified
architectures
- Going from propriety
to standards in various
areas
- Going from
programmer-dependent
application development
to user independence in
application development
- Going from event
processing as
stand-alone technology
to event processing as
pervasively embeddable
technology
- Going from using event
processing reactively to
using event processing
also proactively
For each of these trends
a roadmap will be described
as well as the target goals.
In addition there will be a
discussion on four areas
which require development
beyond the current state of
the art in order to realize
the "event processing
anywhere" vision: event
processing virtualization,
event processing software
engineering, event
processing scalability and
intelligent event
processing, in each of these
topics we discuss the
challenges and directions,
and the way they play in the
bigger picture.

Events,
Rules and Processes -
Exploiting CEP for "the
2-second Advantage"
Paul
Vincent, Chief Technology
Officer, Business Rules and
CEP, TIBCO Software
Complex Event Processing
technologies are normally
associated with higher
performance investment
banking decisions -
providing a trader with an
edge over the competition.
However, the advantages of
the simplicity and
performance of the
"event processing"
ideal has also attracted the
attention of other
businesses requiring
processes and services with
very high throughput yet
handling multiple scenarios
and policies.
Many of the ideas present
in the BPM and SOA state of
the art are also present in
CEP systems: event bus,
rules engine for decisions,
model-driven development and
such. Additionally, CEP adds
a focus on
"event",
"time", and their
associated pattern-based
processes - which possibly
better reflects the
cognitive processes we
undertake ourselves.
In this session, we
explore some of the design
patterns and case studies
that exploit CEP
technologies to provide
adaptive event-driven
processes and services. As
well, we discuss why the
architects deviated from the
safe road of "the
orchestration diagram and
BPEL" to the more rare
declarative rules and the
other models associated with
event pattern detection -
for SOME of their processes
and services!

Analyze,
Sense, and Respond:
Identifying Threats &
Opportunities in Social
Networks
Colin
Clark, Chief Technology
Officer, Cloud Event
Processing, Inc.
Colin Clark will
demonstrate the use of
streaming map/reduce and
complex event processing to
identify threats and
opportunities using Twitter.
This session will identify
specific technologies, how
they're inter-related, and
how the DarkStar and
Telescope products from
Cloud Event Processing can
be used to do this quickly
and efficiently utilizing
elastic resources.
- What are short lived
trends in Twitter and
how can they be taken
advantage of?
- What are people
saying about your
company on Twitter and
is it positive or
negative?
- How do Twitter usage
patterns differ
geographically and what
opportunities does this
present?
