Event filtering framework: key criteria and design trade-offs
Ehab S. Al-Shaer · 2002
Event filtering is an essential service to classify and disseminate events in a distributed systems environment. This paper describes the key design criteria and challenges of developing high-performance event filtering for dynamic distributed applications such as automated monitoring in distributed systems. We also classify existing event filtering mechanisms according to the key criteria. In addition, we discuss the trade-offs of designing efficient and flexible event filtering mechanisms.
