Synchronization for context-aware complex event processing

摘要

A complex event processing system comprises one or more rule engines configured to receive information from a source system via a message broker. Multiple rule engines may be used in parallel, with the same/different rules deployed. According to an embodiment, a rule engine may include a manager component, a proxy component, a reasoner component, and a working memory. The manager and proxy serve as interfaces with the message broker to allow asynchronous communication with a provider storing state information. The reasoner is configured to execute rules based upon occurrence of events in the source system. Embodiments may be particularly suited to implementing a gamification platform including a business entity provider, with an existing business source system (e.g. CRM, ERP).

主权项

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
providing a first rule engine implemented in a computer system, the first rule engine including,
a manager component,a working memory component,a reasoner component, anda proxy component; the manager component inserting a first event into the working memory component, the first event dispatched from a first source system via a message broker; the manager component sending a request to the reasoner component to trigger a first rule appropriate to the first event; the reasoner component issuing a first call to the proxy component to implement a first interface with a first provider; the proxy component issuing an update operation to the first provider storing first context information relevant to the first event; and updating the working memory component with the first context information.
