One of the themes(/TLAs) mentioned at the Gartner Event Processing Symposium a few weeks back was eXtreme Transaction Processing (XTP) - processing very large amounts of information in a single system / process, instead of a variety of (sometimes mis- or under-) managed stovepipe systems.Interestingly, this approach has a lot of overlap with CEP:<span style="font-size: 12pt">- read all relevant events into the system (customer transactions,RFID �events�)
<span style="font-size: 12pt">- manage all process updates for all main entities �in parallel�*
<span style="font-size: 12pt">[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]- manage inter- and intra-transaction relationships (such as views by customer, product, department, geography, time, etc)*

  • provide enterprise-level scaleability and performance, probably in a distributed (multi-geo) environment.[/SIZE][/FONT]
    According to our friends at Gartner, �The platform must deal with heterogeneous environments, programmatic and multichannel user access, based on SOA and EDA concepts, integration and process automation, and more.�<span style="font-size: 12pt" /><span style="font-size: 12pt" />
    Well, isn�t this what (some) CEP systems can do?*** I see why.** What do you think?**** <font face="Times New Roman" size="3">[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]*
