Forrester’s 4 Elements…
Posted by Paul Vincent

… are, according to Mike Gilpin, events, processes, services and information. How does CEP fit in this? Is it the Fifth Element?

No, but CEP can be described in these terms as…

  • a technology for automated processes
  • for the continuous processing of events
  • made up of 1 or more event-driven event-processing services
  • about providing operational information to enable businesses to make (automated or manual) real-time decisions.

    Opher responds with his thoughtful view on this on his blog.

    Which reminds me that I should really add some new tags in my posts, such as “irreverent”, “humor”, “joke”; and that explanatory tooltips and links don’t show up in some browsers (like my E90). Suffice to say, and just to be clear, CEP is not really “the Fifth Element”… :)
