I tend to believe in positive thinking, my previous Blog posting had a somewhat negative tone, since it explained why certain discussions over the blog-landturn me off (I am quoting Giles Nelson from Apama). Sometimes one has to voice a negative tone to make a point, but today I would like to quickly return to positive tone, and say what I do want to see on the blog-land. This is, of course, my own subjective view, as noted in the title, and other people may have other interests.
First - there are both macro-level issues and micro-level issues that worth discussing; macro-level issues relate to the "event processing" discipline in general, while micro-level issues relate to particular topics that are of interest. I'll partition the discussion to -- applications and technology.
Macro issues about event processing applications:- What are the types of event processing applications, what are the motivation/ROI for using event processing?
- What are the conditions for EP COTS to "beat" hand-coded EP
- Business evaluation about trends, markets, industries etc...
- Relationships with other areas - BPM, SOA, XTP, CODA, Cloud computing and more.
- Description of interesting applications
- Experience report of customers - what worked well? What needs improvement.
- Patterns of use and methodologies for best practices.
- Technology trends and Research trends
- Technology challenges and engineering challenges
- Standards
- New functional features (e.g. supporting uncertain events)
- Non-functional requirements (e.g. what is latency?)
- Languages
- Development tools
- Optimizations
