Interesting to see that the Applied Artificial Intelligence Journal is calling for papers for a special issue (November 2011) on what they term “event recognition”. Being academic and about another “field” of computer science, they can’t possibly refer to the term “complex event processing”, but instead talk about:
- …events are particularly important pieces of knowledge, as they represent activities of special significance…
- …consider… the recognition of attacks on nodes of a computer network… the recognition of suspicious trader behaviour… and the recognition of cardiac arrhythmia…
For sure, a “recognised event” is going to (usually) be a “complex event” and (usually) “indicate” (rather than represent) some activity. And I would concur with some people’s opinion that the term “Event Recognition Systems” would appear to be a far more marketable name than “Complex Event Processing” … its maybe a shame the AI folks didn’t push to use that term earlier!
If interested, submissions are due Dec 1, 2010.
