Abstract

Nowadays many applications must process events at a very high rate. These events are processed on the fly, without being stored. Complex Event Processing technology (CEP) is used to implement such applications. Some of the CEP systems, like Apache Storm the most popular CEPs, lack a query language and operators to program queries as done in traditional relational databases. This paper presents PaaS-CEP, a CEP language that provides a SQL-like language to program queries for CEP and its integration with data stores (database or key-value store). Our current implementation is done on top of Apache Storm however, the CEP language can be used with any CEP. The paper describes the architecture of the PaaS-CEP, its query language and the algebraic operators. The paper also details the integration of the CEP with traditional data stores that allows the correlation of live streaming data with the stored data.
