Unlike traditional information systems which work by issuing requests and waiting for responses, event-driven systems are designed to process events as they occur, allowing the system to observe, react dynamically, and issue personalized data depending on the recipient and situation.Event Processing in Action introduces the major concepts of event-driven architectures and shows how to use, design, and build event processing systems and applications. Written for working software architects and developers, the book looks at practical examples and provides an in-depth explanation of their architecture and implementation. Since patterns connect the events that occur in any system, the book also presents common event-driven patterns and explains how to detect and implement them. Throughout the book, readers follow a comprehensive use case that incorporates all event processing programming styles in practice today. Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book.

Information technology is a rapidly evolving field that requires researchers and developers to focus on future technologies and the systems they support. The Next-Generation Information Technologies and Systems (NGITS) series of workshops serves as a platform for discussing the latest advancements in this area. Internationally held in Israel, previous workshops occurred in 1993, 1995, 1997, 1999, and 2002. The 2006 workshop received 138 diverse paper submissions, presenting a significant challenge for the Program Committee. Each submission underwent rigorous review by at least three experts, resulting in the selection of 32 papers (less than 25%) for presentation and inclusion in the proceedings. This selection comprises 28 full-length papers and 4 short papers. Additionally, several research works were chosen for poster presentations, and various research projects showcased demonstrations. The workshop also featured three keynote lectures by distinguished experts. The selected papers can be categorized into ten broad areas, including information systems development, distributed systems, semi-structured data, data mining, user-oriented design, frameworks, simulation, information integration, security, and next-generation applications. This event represents the culmination of efforts by many dedicated individuals.

Cooperation among systems has become increasingly significant, with applications in electronic commerce, virtual enterprises, and middleware. CoopIS is a multi-disciplinary conference addressing various aspects of cooperation, including collaborative work, distributed databases, electronic commerce, human-computer interaction, multi-agent systems, information retrieval, and workflow systems. This conference series serves as a platform for esteemed researchers, influencing the future of cooperative information systems. The seventh conference, organized by the International Foundation on Cooperative Information Systems (IFCIS), is sponsored by IFCIS, IBM Research Laboratory in Haifa, and Compaq, Tandem labs Israel. It succeeds previous international workshops on Interoperability in Multidatabase systems and the CoopIS & ICICIS conference series. A total of 74 papers were submitted in response to the call for papers, with 24 accepted for presentation after thorough review by at least three reviewers each. Additionally, six papers were chosen for short presentations. The conference features two panels, keynote addresses from Professor Calton Pu of Georgia Tech and Professor Sheizaf Rafaeli of Haifa University, and one tutorial. A special issue of the International Journal of Cooperative Information Systems will be published following the event. August 2000 Opher Etzion & Peter Scheuermann

This book grew out of a Dagstuhl seminar organized by the volume editors in June 1997. After the seminar, submissions for this book were solicited both from and beyond the group of participants. A peer review process followed, from which only original papers of the highest quality on the state of the art in the field were accepted for presentation in the book. The volume is divided into parts on temporal database infrastructure, temporal query languages, and advanced applications. A comprehensive bibliography, glossaries for both temporal database and time granularity concepts, and summaries of current work are also provided. The book is the ultimate reference for anyone actively involved in temporal database research and design or who is interested in their applications.
