Implementation of a Complex Event Engine for the Web

One of the key aspects in the implementation of reactive behaviour in the web and, most importantly, in the semantic web is the development of event detection engines. An event engine detects events occurring in a system and notifies their occurrences to its clients. Although primitive events are useful for modelling a good number applications, certain other applications require the combination of primitive events in order to support reactive behaviour. This paper presents the implementation of an event detection engine that detects composite events specified by expressions of an illustrative sublanguage of the SNOOP event algebra.
