This was certainly the case in military systems, although many of the referenced papers in those times were primarily academic. [Systems I worked on in that era used a single-process memory model, though, for performance purposes]. Nonetheless, as per Tim's repeated references to the JDL Data Fusion Model blackboard model, CEP has much in common with such earlier work. Side note: Tim mentions "TIBCO’s BusinessEvents software is an excellent scheduling component in a blackboard systems architecture" - which one can interpret as: a rule-driven event processing agent makes for a good blackboard control agent. I would also argue that rule-driven event processing agents are also pretty useful for the other levels of event processing on the blackboard, co-operating with, of course, any other agent types (query, dashboard, etc).
