Complex Event Processing has been a growing field for the last ten years. It has seen the development of a number of methods and tools to aid in the processing of event streams and clouds though it has also been troubled by the lack of a cohesive definition. This paper aims to layout the technologies surrounding CEP and to distinguish it from the closely related field of Event Stream Processing. It also aims to explore the work done to apply Data Mining Techniques to both of these fields. An outline of stream processing technologies is laid out including the Data Stream Mining techniques that have been adapted for CEP.

We present the first empirical study of the impact of loss-related errors on TV viewing engagement across disparate platforms, delivery technologies and performance measures. Our dataset comprises anonymised video viewing sessions and data about quality of delivery from a content service provider with a nationwide customer base. We study buffering events on streaming apps, mild and severe packet loss errors on multicastdelivered IPTV to a Set-Top-Box (STB) and signal strength errors on Digital Terrestrial TV. Since these metrics cannot be directly compared to each other, we use engagement as our proxy measure. We first characterise the relationship between each impairment and viewing engagement, investigating confounding factors such as type of content, asset length and connection type. We conclude that the loss of engagement due to poor quality delivery is incurred immediately for on-demand content and in the long-term for live content. We rank impairments across platforms by their impact on engagement.

In order to gain insights into events and issues that may cause alarms in parts of IP networks, intelligent methods that capture and express causal relationships are needed. Methods that are predictive and descriptive are rare and those that do predict are often limited to using a single feature from a vast data set. This paper follows the progression of a Rule Induction Algorithm that produces rules with strong causal links that are both descriptive and predict events ahead of time. The algorithm is based on an information theoretic approach to extract rules comprising of a conjunction of network events that are significant prior to network alarms. An empirical evaluation of the algorithm is provided.

Introduction: Water is one of the important natural sources for all living organisms. It is one of the ecological systems. It's the essential source for human health, food production and economic development. The quality of water is important is an important parameter to be noted. The quality of water is affected by various contaminants. The consumption of contaminated water may cause serious health problems due to the activity of microorganism present in it .Due to the activity of microorganism the quality of water becomes very poor and also causes harmful diseases. Thus in this study we are aimed to test the quality of water from different sources by means of physicochemical studies. Objectives: The objective of the present studies is to provide information on the physicochemical characteristics & detailed ecological studies of Portable water and Lake water (Habitat) in order to discuss it's suitability for human consumption. Physicochemical aspects of the water have been investigated to assess the quality of water. Result: The variations of physicochemical properties and comparative analysis of water different sources were analyzed.

This paper proposes a white box method of predicting critical alarms so they can be mitigated and understood by engineers. Forecasting these alarms will avoid outages and maintain the agreed service level which is beneficial to both the provider of telecommunication services and the consumers. The paper evaluates several item set mining approaches on a set of alarms of the British Telecom (BT) national telecommunication network and proposes a novel transformation of the data to enable the discovery of patterns undetectable by current item set mining approaches. The result is a method for rule induction that predicts alarms with high precision using a wide range of features.
