MIDDLEWARE SYSTEMS RESEARCH GROUP MSRG.ORG © 2010 Hans-Arno Jacobsen What Abstractions Do Not Work? Databases  Great for managing historic data  But what about future data (e.g., events) Data streams  Great for managing structured streams of tuples  But what about un-structured, multi-typed, sporadic, un- ordered events from many sources Rule-based expert systems  Great for inference and reasoning  But what about managing large numbers of fined-grained filters in distributed environments Cum grani salis Service Summer, July 19th, 2010, KIT, Germany

MIDDLEWARE SYSTEMS RESEARCH GROUP MSRG.ORG © 2010 Hans-Arno Jacobsen Service Summer, July 19th, 2010, KIT, Germany What Abstractions Enable BPM? It is our opinion that the afore-mentioned requirements can best be addressed by  The content-based publish/subscribe paradigm  Realized by content-based message routing Events represent state transitions in the environment.  Conveyed as publications to the pub/sub system Event filtering and correlation is based on  Subscriptions managed by the pub/sub system

MIDDLEWARE SYSTEMS RESEARCH GROUP MSRG.ORG © 2010 Hans-Arno Jacobsen Service Summer, July 19th, 2010, KIT, Germany Conclusions Many applications are inherently event-driven. Effective BPM requires capable event processing abstractions. Content-based publish/subscribe is a powerful event processing abstraction and paradigm. PADRES is based on the pub/sub paradigm. PADRES is an ESB targeted at event-based BPM. PADRES enables real-time business analytics and business activity monitoring.
