Changhai Ke of ILOG: The More Part of CEP over ESP is Far from Mature

2008-07-06 11:58:30 by Tim Bass in The Complex Event Processing Blog
 
...cover more than that. The more part is not well defined, at least it should include the event correlation, and correlation is not just data aggregation The ESP part of CEP could be considered as quite mature. There are so many EPL languages, and tuning has been made on the runtime side. It seems also that some applications based on ESP have...

...cover is sporting the 10Gig Shootout , which highlights the HP ProCurve 3500 stackables. Although, I have to note, on the print cover, the photos arent next to the vendor descriptions.

...cover is a pretty good metric for this. Don't forget that web applications can have inputs other than html forms, etc. Make sure that any/all user input (cookies, http headers, etc.) are covered Broken Access Control Unfortunately this one is a tricky metric to get our hands around.

Quest homes in on Unix password management

2008-04-28 00:00:00 by HASH0x8b58eb0 in Network World on Security
