Event Processing Overview

Every natural and man-made system is becoming instrumented, interconnected and intelligent. Instrumented: We now have the ability to measure, sense and monitor the condition of almost everything. Interconnected: People, systems and objects can communicate and interact with each other in entirely new ways. Intelligent: We can now respond to changes quickly and get better results by predicting and optimising for future events. 2 © 2009 IBM Corporation

Today, more than ever, organisations are under pressure to leverage a wealth of information to make more intelligent choices. Volume of data Velocity of decision-making Data volumes are expected to The market demands that grow tenfold in the next three businesses optimise decisions, years. This is driven by the take action based on good proliferation of end-user devices, information and utilise advanced real-world sensors, lower-cost predictive capabilities - all with technologies and population speed and efficiency. growth. Variety of information Shift in what we analyse With the expansion of Enterprises need a broader, information comes large systems-based approach to the variances in the complexion of information they examine and available data - very noisy with optimise. Stream computing and lots of errors and no opportunity event processing capabilities are to cleanse it in a world of real- enabling the analysis of massive time decision-making. volumes. 3 © 2009 IBM Corporation

Event processing concepts. An Event Simple Event Processing (SEP) Any signal indicating that a change Simple event processing is not a of state (of the business, real- new concept. SEP provides world or other domain) has functions to detect and respond occurred or contemplated as reactively to a single source, or having occurred. homogeneous event type. Business Event Processing Complex Event Processing (BEP) (CEP) Extends CEP and provides a Detect and respond reactively to graphical, non-programmatic user patterns among like or related interface that allows business events, missing events and users to manage event processing aggregate events. CEP supports logic themselves. Supports high high volumes of homogenous volumes of heterogenous business events within a predictable time events and complex patterns that and order. occur in no particular time or order. 4 © 2009 IBM Corporation

How does event processing fit into SOA?  SOA is an approach to modelling your business, SOA Request/Response and hence IT, as a set of reusable activities or Service services. B Service  Services are then orchestrated or composed into A coarser services, processes or application. Service  SOA communication is typically implemented as C request/response pattern.  Event processing adds an asynchronous pattern to SOA components and services. These patterns are BEP/SOA Pattern Service complementary. BEP Runtime Environment B  Services can emit events and consume events.  The event processing itself is performed as an Service Service extended capability of an ESB. A C  Another name for BEP is Event Driven Architecture (EDA). Dash-  SOA and BEP form together SOA 2.0 (Gartner, board 2006) or Event-based SOA. 9 © 2009 IBM Corporation

The first Forrester CEP Wave - summary  Key Highlights –Focus on Business Event Processing confirmed: “IBM WebSphere Business Events [had the] top score for business end- user tools…” –WBE outranked key competitors like Coral8 and Oracle. –Excellent beginning for a new IBM offering as both Progress Apama and Aleri are pure plays that have been in market since 1999. –This Wave was focused on Complex Event Processing whereas IBM goes to market with Business Event Processing (BEP). BEP is a superset of CEP –IBM’s offering integrates into the rest of the Websphere platform, including the ESB. 11 © 2009 IBM Corporation
