One of the themes(/TLAs) mentioned at the Gartner Event Processing Symposium a few weeks back was eXtreme Transaction Processing (XTP) - processing very large amounts of information in a single system / process, instead of a variety of (sometimes mis- or under-) managed stovepipe systems.*Interestingly, this approach has a lot of overlap with CEP:*<span style="font-size: 12pt">- read all relevant events into the system (customer transactions,*RFID “events”)*
<span style="font-size: 12pt">- manage all process updates for all main entities “in parallel”*
<span style="font-size: 12pt">- manage inter- and intra-transaction relationships (such as views by customer, product, department, geography, time, etc)*
- provide enterprise-level scaleability and performance, probably in a distributed (multi-geo) environment.
According to our friends at Gartner, “The platform must deal with heterogeneous environments, programmatic and multichannel user access, based on SOA and EDA concepts, integration and process automation, and more.”<span style="font-size: 12pt" /><span style="font-size: 12pt" />
Well, isn’t this what (some) CEP systems can do?*** I see why.** What do you think?**** <font face="Times New Roman" size="3">
