Event Monitoring Based On Web Services for Heterogeneous Event Sources

This article discusses event monitoring options for
heterogeneous event sources as they are given in nowadays
heterogeneous distributed information systems. It follows the central
assumption, that a fully generic event monitoring solution cannot
provide complete support for event monitoring; instead, event source
specific semantics such as certain event types or support for certain
event monitoring techniques have to be taken into account.
Following from this, the core result of the work presented here is
the extension of a configurable event monitoring (Web) service for a
variety of event sources. A service approach allows us to trade
genericity for the exploitation of source specific characteristics. It
thus delivers results for the areas of SOA, Web services, CEP and
EDA.
