CEP engine and method for processing CEP queries

摘要

The present invention concerns a complex event processing (CEP) engine (1) for processing CEP queries (10) over data streams, wherein the CEP engine (1) comprises: a. a parser (100), adapted for parsing a received CEP query (10) into a logical query graph (20); and b. a translator (300), adapted for translating the logical query graph (20) into a physical query plan (30) in accordance with one of a plurality of data stream representations; wherein c. the logical query graph (20) is independent of the plurality of data stream representations.
