Event Processing Technical Society (EPTS) Presents

Innovative Event Processing Application Contest

The Event Processing Technical Society in collaboration with the OMG Event Processing Community of Practice is sponsoring an Innovative Event Processing Application case study competition. The competition is open to organizations of all sizes, including government agencies, which have delivered, or are developing, an innovative event processing application.

The goal of the contest is to highlight applications showing significant and innovative use of event processing. To qualify for the competition, the nominated application should have been developed in the past 5 years.

Entries will be judged on the innovative use and potential or realized value from this application.  The nomination form may be downloaded by clicking on this URL: http://www.ep-ts.com/component/option,com_docman/task,doc_download/gid,127/Itemid,84/ and when completed, may be emailed to EPTS_Principles_Award at ep-ts dot com

Integrating Complex Events for Collaborating and Dynamically Changing Business Processes

Abstract: Business processes must become agile, respond to changes in the business environment in a timely manner and quickly adapt themselves to new conditions. Event-Driven Business Process Management (ED-BPM) is an enhancement of Business Process Management (BPM) by concepts of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Complex Event Processing (CEP). The most important enhancement is the integration of services accessible via the Internet that fire events into global event clouds. The events can be processed by event processing platforms for aggregating the information into higher value complex business events. These events can be modeled in a business process execution language within a process driven Business Process Management System (BPMS) to trigger changes in control flow of a process or start other services. A reference model and a reference architecture for ED-BPM are presented, based on the NEXOF Reference Architecture. A taxonomy for classifying changes to process flow is proposed. Enhancements have to be applied to the existing standards in the BPM field, including both the design-time and the runtime. A scenario from the banking domain illustrates the main concepts and principles.
