RT journal article T1 A model-driven approach for facilitating user-friendly design of complex event patterns A1 Boubeta Puig, Juan A1 Ortiz Bellot, Guadalupe A1 Medina Bulo, María Inmaculada A2 Ingeniería Informática K1 complex event processing K1 model-driven development K1 event processing language K1 fast data AB Complex Event Processing (CEP) is an emerging technology which allows us to efficiently process and correlate huge amounts of data in order to discover relevant or critical situations of interest (complex events) for a specific domain. This technology requires domain experts to define complex event patterns, where the conditions to be detected are specified by means of event processing languages. However, these experts face the handicap of defining such patterns with editors which are not user-friendly enough. To solve this problem, a model-driven approach for facilitating user-friendly design of complex event patterns is proposed and developed in this paper. Besides, the proposal has been applied to different domains and several event processing languages have been compared. As a result, we can affirm that the presented approach is independent both of the domain where CEP technology has to be applied to and of the concrete event processing language required for defining event patterns.
