Event Stream Processing (SE)

Prof. Dr. Matthias Weidlich

 

Content

Sensing of data is a major trend these days. According to ABI Research, by 2020, around 40 billion wireless devices are assumed to be connected to the Internet and many of them are expected to continuously emit events. Data stream processing and complex event processing (here jointly referred to as event stream processing) are technologies that help to make sense of these events, by filtering the data, transforming events, and matching event query patterns against a set of incoming event streams. Systems for event stream processing have been successfully used in various domains: news agencies exploit real-time data from social networks; urban transportation is guided by events emitted by street-level sensors; data from real-time location systems (RTLS) is used to optimise the operation of hospitals; and information on financial transactions is leveraged to identify credit card fraud. Yet, the increasing volume, velocity, variety and distribution of event sources imposes challenges for the design and implementation of event stream processing systems. To cope with these requirements, various competing approaches have been proposed in the literature, each taking particular design decisions, for instance, in terms of the time model (causal vs. absolute vs. interval), the deployment (clustered vs. centralised), the event model (discrete vs. probabilistic) and the interaction with event sources (push vs. pull). In this seminar, basic aspects of event stream processing will be explored by means of recent scientific papers.
