to establish a cep cloud with processing capabilities to scale as required by the business application or applications leveraging the cep cloud included is a method of establishing a network of cep engines that work in concert with each other so to provide cep services to deliver the service level agreements of function latency and throughput as required by the application cep services interact with each other via a series of event streams transported by an ipc protocol between one or multiple cep services cep services have no theoretical limit to the number of cep engines that compose said services the result is a distributed system of cep services hosted by a cep cloud where the cep cloud is composed of a network of cep engines connected by an ipc protocol this unique combination forms is a cep cloud without bound to its processing limit application_number US 15030508 A description a cep cloud 16 is a virtualization of a cep engine employed in defining a cep cloud 16 are common computer design patterns and terms such as services interposes communication ipc protocols and distributed computing techniques sometimes referred to as a cluster grid or compute utility etc fig1 is a view of the cep cloud 16 shown are the functional components of the cep cloud 16 and their interactions these components include cep cloud 16 a distributed system of interconnected cep engines that forms the foundation to support and provide cep services event streams 28 an infinite set of discrete events discrete events of the scope of this invention fall into two basic categories native events 12 and derived.
