VOSibilities podcast #12: Complex event processing and visual orchestration systems

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

The VOSibilities podcast from Active Endpoints on BPM, BPEL, BPMN  and SOA for service orchestration and Java developers

In this podcast episode, I talk with Active Endpoints’ CEO, Mark Taber, about our company’s vision for how we intend to “democratize” complex event processing (CEP) and stream processing so that everyone can benefit from these technologies in their applications.

Mark describes the concepts and then talks about why we believe these technologies should be part of every visual orchestration system — and previews what we’ll be delivering in ActiveVOS in our upcoming release in August, 2008.

As always, we appreciate your support of our podcast, as demonstrated by the large number of people who are downloading and subscribing to this content, and we welcome all feedback. Just email us at editor@vosibilities.com.

Pssst…wanna have some fun at JavaOne? Join us for our Tiki Bar Party on Wednesday May 7, 2008. Get all the details here.

Why a Tiki Bar Party? Because we’re big, big fans of Tiki Bar TV and we wanted to have some fun ourselves. So, we maxed out on the kitsch and we’ve invited a bunch of people — including you — to join us.

But you have to work for those free cocktails (featuring unforgettable tipples like the BPEL Island Julep and the VOSarita). You gotta get two button at the show and then wear ‘em to the Bamboo Hut to get in. Pictures of these oh-so-cool-you’d-want-’em-anyway buttons are below. Where do you get the buttons? At the Active Endpoints and XAware booths, which are in Startup Row in the Pavilion.

How can you lose? Cool buttons, cooler drinks and fun people. Sounds like a pahhty. We hope to see you there. Remember: check out www.javaoneparty.com, print the invite and get those buttons to join us at the best party at JavaOne this year.

Here’s the Active Endpoints button:
