complex event processing
event-driven architecture — (EDA) is a software architecture pattern promoting the production, detection, consumption of, and reaction to events.
SEDA - staged event-driven architecture decomposes complex, event-driven architectures into stages
Event Processing Technical Society — (EPTS) is an event processing community of interest
Event stream processing — (ESP) is a related technology that focuses on processing streams of related data.
Kinetic Rule Language — (KRL) is an event-condition-action rule language with an embedded complex event expression language.
operational intelligence — Both CEP and ESP are technologies that underpin operational intelligence.
Real-time business intelligence — Business Intelligence is the application of knowledge derived from CEP systems
Real-time computing — CEP systems are typically real-time systems
