The work on the EPTS Functional Reference Architecture reminded me that I should do a functional view of TIBCO BusinessEvents in a similar style, in particular relating the event processing operations with “track and trace“, “sense and respond“, and “situation awareness“, and thence Operational Intelligence.
Note there is no absolute 1-to-1 relationship between technology and function, although this diagram relates some of the most common ones used in TIBCO. For example one could use a decision table (or 2) operation(s) to represent a “sense and respond” function: one decision table to relate events and data to determine state (the “sense”), and another to relate this state to determine some valid action (the “response”).
If there is interest we could document this mappings further (and maybe this would be good input for some of the other EPTS working groups…).
