What is Real-time?
 Is a property:
 Guaranteed
deterministic completion of an operation
 Is not necessarily:
 Fast
 But
(low latency)
often appears in conjunction with latency requirements.
 The key is recognizing that the deadline is guaranteed.
 And
if not achieved, requires some other action be taken, some
exception be raised
EDA Symposium 14-16 March 2006
Value of Using RT Event Processing
 In specific Domain Spaces i.e. DoD can not meet 2010 Mission Requirements
without RT CEP
 Address the latency Gap
 Become more proactive to predict future events
 Modelling based on historical data and current understanding of event cloud to
predict near term outcomes with updating for continuous learning
 Real-time is relative term depending on required predicted outcome
 Extract to higher levels of abstraction for inference

Inability to manage Latency and Determinism
Lack of tools
Large Data ingest
High message traffic
Large Legacy Domain
Lack of temporal interlock
Complexity or perception
Ability to abstract
Domains for determinism is a relative term
Reactive versus proactive
Take RT Event and compare against massive amount of history
Simple patterns
Making incremental change based on incremental pieces of data
Must think of the problem at different levels of the stack (Vertical
versus Horizontal)
