Events and streams
Sharma Chakravarthy, Raman Adaikkalavan · 2008
One of the purposes of this paper is to demonstrate the ubiquitous nature and relevance of simple and complex events in situation monitoring and other unforeseen applications. This paper retrospectively analyzes the progress of event-based capability and their applicability in various domains. Although research on event-based approaches started in a humble manner with the intention of introducing triggers in database management systems for monitoring application state and to automate applications by reducing/eliminating user intervention, currently it has become a force to reckon with as it finds use in many diverse domains. This is primarily due to the fact that a large number of real-world applications are indeed event-driven and hence the paradigm is apposite.
