The concept of Complex Event Processing (CEP) promoted by Stanford Professor David Luckham seems to be gaining some good traction. David Cameron has a nice introduction on the subject. What I like about the approach is that it complements the more rigid Business Activity Monitoring (BAM) capabilities that are offered by today’s BPM systems. Adding some CEP capabilities to a BPMS would extend the reach of this type of platform to more dynamic processes, which is very much in line with the original vision. I cannot wait to see some level of standardization taking place in the space in order to connect all the pieces together. Many thanks to Sandy Kemsley at Column 2 for the link.
