Mark Hapner of Sun Microsystems contributed a very interesting CEP use case to our event processing reference architecture working group (EPRAWG) based on RSS/Atom processing, titled:
RSS and Atom - Event Based Computing for Global Applications

Mark Hapner, Distinguished Engineer - SOA Strategist, Sun Microsystems
The good news is that is should, in theory, be easier to process RSS/Atom events that human speech perception and meaning.
Notes:
As a historical note, one of the first applications of distributed multisensor data fusion processing (circa 1971) was an application called HEARSAY. HEARSAY was an AI application that used a distributed agent-based blackboard architecture for speech recognition and understanding, focused on uncertainty and hypothetical interpretations.
Because of the complexity of this problem, effected by psychology, semantics, rules of discourse, syntax, lexicon, prosodic system, phonemic system, articulatory apparatus, and noise, the HEARSAY (and HEARSAY-II) problem solving model is of interest to may experts in distributed sense-and-respond applications, like CEP and the RSS/Atom use case offered by Mark Hapher at Sun.
