SESSION TITLE

Business Rules and Business Events - Where CEP Helps Decisions

SPEAKER(s):

Paul Vincent CTO, Business Rules and CEP TIBCO

MAIN FOCUS OF PRESENTATION: IT

FAMILIARITY WITH SUBJECT: Some

ABOUT THIS SESSION:

Decision services are well-established as enforcers of decision rules in managed business applications. However, businesses can now use generic, event-driven decision services, both to identify important business events and to make the necessary required decisions. The techniques and tools to provide this are often classified as “Complex Event Processing” or CEP.
CEP is subsequently being used increasingly in financial services, logistics, healthcare, telecommunications, energy, and defense applications. We look at the close relationship between events and business rules, using appropriate case studies. What You Will Learn:

• How managed decisions are as relevant to event-driven systems as they are to batch-oriented or people-oriented systems
• Where events fit in the realm of business rules
• How businesses are event-driven, and how event-driven decisions match many business problems
