event patterns and complex event processing…

The first steps: 1. Redesign your business processes for SOA and BPM 2. Make a SOA, identify services, build WSDL-interfaces…3. Precise description of patterns of events4. Detecting patterns in the event cloud5. Abstraction of complex event pattern instances to higher level events
