"Standardizing event management to streamline your on demand operating environment"

According to the introduction:

"Today, IBM Common Event Infrastructure (CEI) — a set of modular event-processing components — delivers the following functions:

• Event transport
• Event bus distribution
• Event persistence
• Event subscription
• Event updates
• Event queries
• Event metadata

"This paper outlines IBM’s strategy for CEI implementation and describes how IBM CEI can help you manage your IT environment effectively. It first offers basic information about CEI and the problems it addresses, and then provides details about the CEI architecture, interfaces, operations and delivery to enable you to plan your system’s architectures around a solution that uses CEI." <pdf> - goto
