Event processing (EP) is a data processing technology that conducts online processing of
event information. In this survey, we summarize the latest cutting-edge work done on EP …

Abstract Many Big Data technologies were built to enable the processing of human
generated data, setting aside the enormous amount of data generated from Machine-to …

The concept of event processing is established as a generic computational paradigm in
various application fields. Events report on state changes of a system and its environment …

The requirements of analyzing heterogeneous data streams and detecting complex patterns
in near real-time have raised the prospect of complex event processing (CEP) for many …

Pattern queries are widely used in complex event processing (CEP) systems. Existing
pattern matching techniques, however, can provide only limited performance for expensive …

The need for timely processing large amounts of information, flowing from the peripheral to
the center of a system, is common to different application domains, and it has justified the …

Runtime verification is an area of formal methods that studies the dynamic analysis of
execution traces against formal specifications. Typically, the two main activities in runtime …

In the last few years a new research area, called stream reasoning, emerged to bridge the
gap between reasoning and stream processing. While current reasoning approaches are …

Several application domains involve detecting complex situations and reacting to them. This
asks for a Complex Event Processing (CEP) middleware specifically designed to timely …

Complex Event Processing (CEP) systems aim at processing large flows of events to
discover situations of interest. In CEP, the processing takes place according to user-defined …
