On November 8th 2007, after compiling a list of CEP/EP reference customers fromthe open literature and public press releases, I issued a call for CEP reference customers in the Yahoo! CEP-Interest Groupand on the professional networking site LinkedIn.* During the past 7 weeksI provided an opportunity forall concernedto view and respond to*mypublic worksheet.***
