Below is a graphic I put together for my September Gartner presentation, Getting Started in CEP: How to Build an Event Processing Application, called �EDA Visualized.�
In this graphly representation of EDA, weshow the sense-and-respondmodel around the functional CEP/EP reference architecture.** I have changedtraditional view of�Sense - Analyze - Respond� to �Sense - Analyze and Visualize - Respond� because visualization tools are critically important.***
Key EDA Concepts
Sense - Detect events across the enterprise in real-time.* Normalize and contextualize.
Analyze & Visualize - Aggregate events across multiple sources; correlate with historical data, refine.
Respond - Manage resources, processes; Invoke actions in real-time.
The Sense - Analyze and Visualize - Respond (decision loop) model illustrates the high level concepts*of*EDA*(the �what�) and the CEP/EP functional reference architecture (adapted*from the JDL model)*represents �the how�, from a high level functional components perspective.
