Event processing (EP)—the ability to collect, analyze, and react to real-time events—is a key component of twenty-first-century business information systems. Presenting a comprehensive overview of the history, status, and future of this continuously evolving field, \u003ci\u003eEvent Processing for Business\u003c\/i\u003e explores the many different ways you can apply event processing in your business operations to enable decision-making right now, as events are happening, and maintain the competitiveness of your organization in an increasingly real-time world.  \u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eEvent Processing for Business\u003c\/i\u003e, author David Luckham shares his decades of IT research and consulting to show you how to use the events in your business and in the world around you to create new, groundbreaking ways of doing business. You’ll discover how to: detect and analyze patterns of events to create a higher level of business operations; maximize the information you extract from the events that are available to you; choose the right event processing technology to suit your specific business needs; and keep technology adoption costs down. Luckham also provides practical guidance on how EP is best integrated into an overall IT strategy and how its architectural styles differ from more conventional approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEmphasizing EP examples used in a diverse range of business, including financial trading, banking, fraud detection, IT security, transportation, energy, customer relations management, and healthcare, \u003ci\u003eEvent Processing for Business\u003c\/i\u003e explores:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eWhat event processing is\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eReasons to invest in event processing\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eHow and why four modern event processing technologies developed\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eBasic concepts of event processing and complex event processing (CEP)\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eEvent streams and event clouds\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eThe growing marketplace for commercial event processing products\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eWhich businesses are using event processing and CEP today\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eThe kinds of business problems to which event processing is being applied\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eFundamental strategies for event processing in business: filtering, prioritization, and goal-specific methods\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eMore event processing concepts: event patterns, timing, causality, abstraction, and computable event hierarchies\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eAbstract events and high-level views that allow you to instantly understand your competitive business situation\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eOrganizing abstract events for different role players in the enterprise\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cdiv\u003eThe future of complex event processing in the Information Society\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eEvent-enabled business models and systems are everywhere, and they’re here to stay.
