Complex Event Processing (CEP) is een begrip binnen de industriële digitalisering en event streaming, messaging & integratie.

Definitie

Complex Event Processing (CEP) is een software technologie die real-time analysis van multiple event streams uitvoert om patronen, correlaties en complexe gebeurtenissen te identificeren. Het verwerkt grote volumes van simple events om meaningful business insights te genereren en automatische responses te triggeren op basis van voorgedefinieerde rules.

Kenmerken

  • Real-time processing: Instant event analysis zonder data persistency delays
  • Pattern recognition: Complex event patterns gedefinieerd via rules engines
  • Event correlation: Combining multiple simple events into complex events
  • Temporal reasoning: Time-based event relationships en sequence analysis
  • Sliding windows: Time-bounded event analysis voor continuous processing
  • Event filtering: Selective processing van relevant events only
  • Rule-based logic: Configurable business rules voor event interpretation
  • Low latency: Sub-second response times voor time-critical applications
  • Scalable architecture: Horizontal scaling voor high-volume event processing
