Volume of data is increasing rapidly

Today, 11% of data is machine generated. By 2020,

that figure will rise to 40%, with a total of 20 billion
devices.

Complex Event Processing - CEP

! Method of tracking and analyzing

Event Stream
Fine-grained simple events from
sensors and edge devices

data combined from multiple streams

to infer events or patterns that
suggest more complicated
circumstances.
! Goal is to identify business meaning

of events (such as opportunities or

threats) and respond to them as
quickly as possible.

Event Patterns

Complex Events
Machine module nonfunctional, power outage,
device tampering, etc.
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_event_processing

Complex Event Processing

Event Patterns

Filtering
New stream filtered for specific
criteria, e.g. temperature > 200 F
Correlation & Aggregation
Scrolling, time-based window
metrics, e.g. average heart pulse
rate in the last 3 days
Pattern Matching
Notification of detected event
patterns, e.g. machine events A,
B and C occurred within 15
minute window
Geospatial, Predictive Modeling
and beyond
Immediate recognition of
geographical movement patterns,
apply historical business
intelligence models using data
mining algorithms

Continuous Query Language - CQL

CQL is based on standard SQL with extensions for streaming data
CQL queries support filtering, partitioning, aggregation, correlation
(joins across streams), and pattern matching on streaming and
relational data
Extends standard SQL by adding notion of Stream, operators for
mapping between relations and streams, and extensions for pattern
matching
Window operator (e.g. RANGE 1 MINUTE) transforms stream into
a relation
Example:
SELECT AVG(temperature) AS avgTemp, tempSensorId
FROM temperatureInputStream [RANGE 1 MINUTE]
GROUP BY tempSensorId
