Embodiments relate to a concept for ordering events of an event stream (204), comprising out-of-order events, for an event detector (210), wherein the events have associated thereto individual event occurrence times (ei.ts) and individual event propagation delays up to a maximum delay of K time units. Event received from the event stream are provided to an event buffer (222; 226). Received events in the event buffer (222; 226) are ordered according their respective occurrence times to obtain ordered events. An ordered event (ei) having an event occurrence time ei.ts is speculatively forwarded from the event buffer (222; 226) to the event detector (210) at an earliest time instant clk, such that ei.ts + a*K = clk, wherein a denotes a speculation quantity with 0 < a < 1. |
