Cayuga: A General Purpose Event Monitoring System

We describe the design and implementation of the Cornell Cayuga System for scalable event processing. We present a query language based on Cayuga Algebra for naturally expressing complex event patterns. We also describe several novel system design and implementation issues, focusing on Cayuga’s query processor, its indexing approach, how Cayuga handles simultaneous events, and its specialized garbage collector.
