CEP

Complex Event Processing is a way of analyzing events in real time. In an SOA environment there can be many event streams typically in xml format, which requires further processing in order to infer some special situations. Therefore this article describes how WSO2 Complex Event Processing server can be used for such scenarios with a description of its abstract model. Further this describes the underlying CEP architecture to elaborate the extensibility of the framework.

Complex Event Processing (CEP) systems and Business rule management systems (BRMS) are identified as playing major role in sophisticated systems today and in the future. It will be very useful, if we can use them together when making business decisions. The utmost pattern to integrate these heterogeneous systems is to use Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). This article is describing how it can integrate business rules, complex event processing services and data services together and how to use them effectively with SOA to develop a transaction validation system. You can use this as the sample for your transaction validation system and make it to production level easily.
