Abstract

This requires them to infer what the value of such data is for the business in question through data analysis as well as acting promptly for critical or relevant situations. Complex Event Processing (CEP) is a technology that helps tackle this issue by detecting event patterns in real time. However, this technology forces domain experts to define these patterns indicating such situations and the appropriate actions to be executed in their information systems, generally based on Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs). In particular, these users face the incommodity of implementing these patterns manually or by using editors which are not user-friendly enough. To deal with this problem, a model-driven solution for real-time decision making in event-driven SOAs is proposed and conducted in this paper. This approach allows the integration of CEP with this architecture type as well as defining CEP domain and event pattern through a graphical and intuitive editor, which also permits automatic code generation. Moreover, the solution is evaluated and its benefits are discussed. As a result, we can assert this is a novel solution for bringing CEP technology closer to any user, positively impacting on business decision making processes.

A middleware approach for reliable resource selection on Internet‐of‐Things

“…A decision‐making solution as a model‐driven for service‐oriented architecture, SOAs, is proposed that allows the integration of complex event processing (CEP) with SOA 2.0. It faces limitation for recommending event patterns and its dynamic generation in a semi‐automatic way . An unprecedented collaborative context‐aware service‐oriented architecture for the IoT is developed that performs intelligent decision making.…”

“…It faces limitation for recommending event patterns and its dynamic generation in a semi-automatic way. 13 An unprecedented collaborative context-aware service-oriented architecture for the IoT is developed that performs intelligent decision making. It facilitates real-time context spreading among the resources and provides real-time processing and delivery of information to the interested parties.…”

Facilitating the Quantitative Analysis of Complex Events through a Computational Intelligence Model-Driven Tool

“…Companies have normally domain experts and computer science experts, but these skills usually do not fall on the same person and the definition of patterns in the language provided by CEP engines is not trivial. For this reason, in the past, we proposed MEdit4CEP [3].…”

“…As previously explained, this tool was introduced in [6] as an extension of MEdit4CEP [3] to deal with the semantic validation of the modeled patterns.…”

“…e event patterns to be detected for a particular application domain are implemented by using event-processing languages (EPLs) [2]. e MEdit4CEP approach [3] was proposed to help domain experts with this implementation. is framework provides an editor with graphical modeling capabilities for easily specifying the CEP domain, event patterns and action definitions.…”
