In his post, Cloudy Thinking, Marc Adler asks how to implement the event cloud.
As a reminder, we*process event clouds;*we don’t implement them. * Event clouds simply exist, independent of our desire to process and extract meaningful information from the event cloud.
For example, there are many voices in a crowded*stadium* These voices make up the “sound cloud” (or maybe you prefer the term “voice cloud”), in a manner of speaking.** The “trick” is to have the processing capability to listen to the “sound cloud” and detect opportunities and threats in real-time.** So, in theory, we might call this “complex sound processing”.
Events exists.
The stated*goal of CEP is to*process event clouds in order to detect opportunities and threats in the business world, in real-time.
We don’t “implement” the event cloud because the events exist independent of our capability to process the cloud and extract meaningful and actionable situational knowledge*from the cloud.
However, event clouds are represented as POSETS.* This is directly from the CEP literature.
