Event Stream Processing with Multiple Threads
Current runtime verification tools seldom make use of multi-threading to
speed up the evaluation of a property on a large event trace. In this paper, we
present an extension to the BeepBeep 3 event stream engine that allows the use
of multiple threads during the evaluation of a query. Various parallelization
strategies are presented and described on simple examples. The implementation
of these strategies is then evaluated empirically on a sample of problems.
Compared to the previous, single-threaded version of the BeepBeep engine, the
allocation of just a few threads to specific portions of a query provides
dramatic improvement in terms of running time

A framework for feeding Linked Data to Complex Event Processing engines
A huge volume of Linked Data has been published on the Web, yet is not processable by Complex Event Processing (CEP) or Event Stream Processing (ESP) engines. This paper presents a frame-work to bridge this gap, under which Linked Data are first translated into events conforming to a lightweight ontology, and then fed to CEP engines. The event processing results will also be published back onto the Web of Data. In this way, CEP engines are connected to the Web of Data, and the ontological reasoning is integrated with event processing. Finally, the implementation method and a case study of the framework are presented
Analysing Temporal Relations – Beyond Windows, Frames and Predicates
This article proposes an approach to rely on the standard
operators of relational algebra (including grouping and ag-
gregation) for processing complex event without requiring
window specifications. In this way the approach can pro-
cess complex event queries of the kind encountered in appli-
cations such as emergency management in metro networks.
This article presents Temporal Stream Algebra (TSA) which
combines the operators of relational algebra with an analy-
sis of temporal relations at compile time. This analysis de-
termines which relational algebra queries can be evaluated
against data streams, i. e. the analysis is able to distinguish
valid from invalid stream queries. Furthermore the analysis
derives functions similar to the pass, propagation and keep
invariants in Tucker's et al. \Exploiting Punctuation Seman-
tics in Continuous Data Streams". These functions enable
the incremental evaluation of TSA queries, the propagation
of punctuations, and garbage collection. The evaluation of
TSA queries combines bulk-wise and out-of-order processing
which makes it tolerant to workload bursts as they typically
occur in emergency management. The approach has been
conceived for efficiently processing complex event queries on
top of a relational database system. It has been deployed
and tested on MonetDB
Robust Complex Event Pattern Detection over Streams
Event stream processing (ESP) has become increasingly important in modern applications. In this dissertation, I focus on providing a robust ESP solution by meeting three major research challenges regarding the robustness of ESP systems: (1) while event constraint of the input stream is available, applying such semantic information in the event processing; (2) handling event streams with out-of-order data arrival and (3) handling event streams with interval-based temporal semantics. The following are the three corresponding research tasks completed by the dissertation: Task I - Constraint-Aware Complex Event Pattern Detection over Streams. In this task, a framework for constraint-aware pattern detection over event streams is designed, which on the fly checks the query satisfiability / unsatisfiability using a lightweight reasoning mechanism and adjusts the processing strategy dynamically by producing early feedback, releasing unnecessary system resources and terminating corresponding pattern monitor. Task II - Complex Event Pattern Detection over Streams with Out-of-Order Data Arrival. In this task, a mechanism to address the problem of processing event queries specified over streams that may contain out-of-order data is studied, which provides new physical implementation strategies for the core stream algebra operators such as sequence scan, pattern construction and negation filtering. Task III - Complex Event Pattern Detection over Streams with Interval-Based Temporal Semantics. In this task, an expressive language to represent the required temporal patterns among streaming interval events is introduced and the corresponding temporal operator ISEQ is designed
