Finally! After months of encouragement, our dear event processing colleague Opher Etzion has started his blog, Event Processing Thinking. I am very pleased about this and look forward to staying in tune with Opher�s thoughts on event processing.
I really enjoyed reading his recent post, EP, CEP, ESP, DSP, SEP, MEP, BPEP and more where Opher does an excellent job of providing a overview of some of the terminology issues and how these issues have impacted vendor marketing.
As Opher points out, it has been very interesting how a number of software vendors in this space originally rejected the term �complex event processing� because they thought this term was too �complex� (and not good for marketing) and preferred a more simple phrase, like �event stream processing�. Now, the software vendor community has complex event processing splashed across their many web pages and marketing announcements.
Opher and I agree on many, if not most. topics; and we have worked together very closely over the past two years. In order to keep things interesting, I�ll continue to do my part to keep the blogobuzz going by commenting on Opher�s posts from time to time.
Opher, Welcome to the Blogosphere!
