Most Organization rely on the efficient and in most cases synchronized and inter-related execution of business applications. The functioning of these applications are triggered by events or messages. In real-life the number of inter-connected events is far greater than just the 3 shown above and have complex interdependencies. example 1: customer calls support to report a problem and also opens a ticket online. Was there a problem with the 1st channel? Why did the customer use multiple channels? Which one should get higher priority? Example 2: a revolutionary new technology is needed to perform complex analytics on high-speed, high-volume data to enable instantaneous response. That new technology is high-performance Complex Event Processing (CEP) Why do we need CEP? So we can react in real-time as events occur. CEP allows us to manage our business with foresight rather than hindsight
