DEBS11 Tutorial Program published

The ACM Distributed Event Based Systems conference this year has just published its Tutorial Program, I see. DEBS2011 is being generously hosted by IBM at its famous T J Watson Research Labs in Yorktown Heights.

One of the tutorials is by the EPTS Reference Architecture team – comprising TIBCO, Oracle, IBM and Univ of Berlin – covering “Architectural and Functional Design Patterns for Event Processing”. This is really a preview of the cross-product design pattern work we are engaged in via EPTS forum, mapping common CEP functions to different Event Processing language styles and systems. Earlier DEBS tutorials on similar topics, and available on SlideShare, were on the Reference Architecture (2010) and Architecture and Patterns (2008).

For the Tutorial this year we will not be covering *all* design patterns, but a select few to give an indication of the differences / similarities in implementations, and development considerations involved. We are also planning to produce a book covering these patterns and examples later on.
