Last year The CEP Blog conducted a survey of all public CEP/EP use cases by customers, based on a simple criteria.    We asked the various CEP vendors to on various CEP discussion forums, social networking sites like LinkedIn, and mailing lists to review both the criteria and the list, comment and update.   We published the results in CEP/EP Reference Customers 2005-2007.

Now that we are beyond the halfway point in 2008 we are going start the process all over again.   So please feel free to comment  as I start compiling the list again, using the same criteria as last year (However, I reserve the right to slightly modify the criteria if necessary).  Basically, the criteria looks like this:

- Must be a (CEP/EP) software vendor.

- Must be an end user / customer.

- Must NOT be a partnership or OEM announcement.

- Must mention complex event processing (CEP) or event processing (EP) in the public statement.

- Must be available on the Internet and in English.

In a nutshell, just as we did last year, we will compile all the CEP/EP public reference clients that mention CEP, the software and the customer.   Your are encouraged to post links to your 2008 reference clients in the comment section  here.   Please include the URL, Date, Source, Software Vendor, Customer Application (Use Case), as in the 2007 worksheet.
