Event Processing Conversation Shifts from Research to Practitioners

[Update July 5, 2008 June 2, 2008 March 26, 2008 September 8, 2007 August 19, 2007 August 6, 2007 May 15, 2007 – updated blog list]

In March, as I was sending through a bunch of event processing (EDA, ESP, CEP) related links , JT posted that he sensed CEP was due for an inflection point.  I concur.  While event-driven architectures and event engines (streaming, complex) are not exactly new, the discussions around them became more prevalent and business/practitioner focused after Gartner placed EDA in the August 2006  hype cycle. (EDA is plotted on the "technology trigger" upslope, with a 5 – 10 year mainstream adoption.)

Instead of just streaming event processing related links through, I thought I’d take a minute to post on a collection of event processing related blogs that have good content for practitioners.  Some, like Marco on ESP, have existed for awhile. Others are new.  Here’s my first pass at a list:
