Jim Sinur at Gartner has posted his views on CEP on his blog. Jim comments on “event discovery” (a.k.a. detection?) via rules, patterns (maybe meaning streaming or continuous queries), process (maybe meaning process exceptions or manual detections), algorithms, and “context”. For the latter he proposes a connection between CEP and “Complexity Theory” which according to Wikipedia is either Chaos Theory or maybe Complex Adaptive Systems (“complex, self-similar collection of interacting adaptive agents … focuses on complex, emergent and macroscopic properties of the system”). That one is for the lab, methinks.
