- leave anything related to transport, communication to other layers- use this revised CEP to express and execute event-relevant logic, the purpose of which is to translate the ambient events into relevant business events- have these business events trigger business processes (however lightweight you want to make them)- have these business processes invoke decision services implemented through decision management to decide what they should be doing at every step- have the business processes invoke action services to execute the actions decided by the decision services- all the while generating business events or ambient events- etc.
A common task in many event processing systems is to detect patterns of events.
If combined, these patterns will eventually form a situation consisting of multiple patterns over time.
So basically a detected instance of a situation is a specific sequence of events.
