EVENT PROCESSING IN THE CLOUD ENVIRONMENT WITH WELL DEFINED SEMANTICS

The paper presents the OM4SPACE project, which aims to provide an integration of active functionality into cloud environments to enable applications to further benefit from the agility of this new environment. In particular, we propose an activity service that incorporates well defined interfaces and the clear semantic of Active Database Management System (Active DBMS) style event processing combined with the concepts of modern Event Driven Architectures and the approach of Complex Event Processing. This gives the potential to provide active functionality across the boundaries of one Cloud and to decouple the usage of active functionality from the concrete cloud provider. In this paper we present our initial prototypic implementation of this activity service.
