Treffer: ReCEPtor: Sensing Complex Events in Data Streams for Service-Oriented Architectures

data stream, complex event processing, SOA, query plan, EPL Internal Accession Date Only All mission-critical applications read or generate raw data streams and require real-time processing of these streams to collect statistics, control flow and detect abnormal patterns. A trend which has gained strong momentum in different industry sectors is the use of Complex Event Processing (CEP) over streams for all critical business processes, thus pushing its span beyond military and financial applications. A parallel trend has been the re-architecting of existing business processes with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) principals to provide integration and interoperability. This requires use of middleware that incorporates web services, Business Process Management (BPM) systems or an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), and in some cases Business Rule Engines (BRE). There is a
