Abstract

CEDMOS is the Composite Event detection and Monitoring System developed for DARPA by MCC. CEDMOS recognizes patterns of events called complex events according to userauthorized event specifications. CEDMOS is a general event processing technology that includes: *a core infrastructure for event detection which implements a general, efficient event processing model *a graphical programming environment for the creation and manipulation of composite events; and *agent shells for rapid development of customized agents for event gathering, composite event detection, and dissemination of composite events. This paper gives the theoretical basis for the CEDMOS event procesing model. The model is a restriction of a more general event processing model that takes into consideration a number of practical issues. In addition, issues that arose in the deployment of CEDMOS to some particular domains are discussed. Unlike many other event processing technologies, CEDMOS is not tied to databases or other technologies and can be applied to many different domains.
