Industry trends such as Real- plex event processing is an urgent need in today’s distributed Time Enterprise (RTE), Business Activity Management (BAM) service-oriented architectures and Web-based event-driven or Business Performance Management (BPM) and closely related environments. An important problem to be addressed is areas such as Service Level Management (SLM) with monitoring how to correctly and efficiently capture and process the and enforcing Service Level Agreements (SLAs) [13, 15] are busi- event-based behavioral, reactive logic embodied in reaction ness drivers for this renewed interest. Another strong demand rules, and combining this with other conditional decision for event processing functionalities comes from the web commu- logic embodied, e.g., in derivation rules.
