A framework for performance evaluation of complex event processing systems
Marcelo R. N. Mendes, Pedro Bizarro, Paulo Marques · 2008
Several new Complex Event Processing (CEP) engines have been recently released, many of which are intended to be used in performance sensitive scenarios - like fraud detection, traffic control, or health care systems. However, there is no standard means to assess the performance of a CEP engine. This omission is all the more relevant as there are currently many competing products, languages, architectures, data models, and data processing CEP techniques. A performance evaluation framework can help identify good design decisions and assist in improving engines. Here we demonstrate our work in progress: FINCoS, a framework that can be used to benchmark CEP systems. The proposed framework has five relevant characteristics:
