A post on exploiting (in this case for air quality monitoring) the ultimate live sensor grid – the world’s cellphone population – reminded me of some discussions on CEP for social / community uses (as described by Prof Mani Chandy at the recent ISS09) and also some dicussions with TIBCO colleagues on the role of CEP in the cloud (e.g. supporting such large scale sensor nets without particularly low latency needs). The big question with either – who will pay for it – which translates to – who will it make / save money for?
