DEBS’09: EPTS Use Cases overview
Posted by Paul Vincent
This week is the DEBS09 conference (sadly, more bearded academics than dainty debutantes).
Things kicked-off with the “Event Processing Use Cases” tutorial (in reality a report by the Event Processing Technical Society Use Case working group). The group has created a good use case proforma but the 5 use cases presented, although somewhat representative of event processing applications, seemed to be “pre-commercial” research and academic “use cases” rather than real live production applications. This may be less important than it feels, and the wider EP/CEP community (including TIBCO) are of course to blame for not yet contributing customer use cases… but as a consequence it is premature to derive any useful conclusions from this small sample.
Hopefully the EPTS will manage to encourage a more useful, larger library of use cases? Perhaps EPTS contributor and analyst Gartner could announce an “EPTS Use Case Award” every year?
In any TIBCO customer would be happy to work with us to contribute an EPTS Use Case, please drop us a line!

Opher added some comments on his blog - http://epthinking.blogspot.com/2009/07/debs-2009-first-day.html - including the thought that TIBCO should make the use case award. Sounds intriguing but, I suspect, open to criticism of bias?

Hi Paul. I meant that TIBCO will contribute the award, not that they alone will decide on the winner…
cheers,
