TIBCO talks about agents in his post,
CEP and Agents...
At the core, TIBCO’s BusinessEvents is RETE-based rules engine and rules engines are well suited for scheduling problems.* This makes perfect sense, since many of TIBCO’s customers*deploy BusinessEvents*in scheduling-oriented, not detection-oriented,*solutions.
It*begs to be pointed out, however, that scheduling is*only one component of a CEP architecture.*
Normally, the scheduling component of a distributed event processing architecture*manages the*intelligent scheduling of the sharing of data between distributed agents that are running a variety of analytics.
Simply stated, all agents are not rules engines;*however, rules engines*are often*used to schedule the cooperation between analytical agents in a distributed agent-based architecture.
