Event Processing
First Claim
1. A method for processing an event in an event processing network, the method comprising:
- assigning an execution mode for at least one event processing agent (EPA) in an event processing network (EPN); and
storing the execution mode for the at least one EPA in EPN metadata.

Abstract
A method, a system and a computer program for parallel event processing in an event processing network (EPN) are disclosed. The EPN has at least one event processing agent (EPA). The method includes assigning an execution mode for the at least one EPA, the execution mode including a concurrent mode and a sequential mode. The execution mode for the at least one EPA is stored in the EPN metadata. The method also includes loading and initializing the EPN. The method further includes routing the event in the EPN and, when an EPA is encountered, depending on the execution mode of the encountered EPA, further processing of the event. Also disclosed are a system and a computer program for parallel event processing in an event processing network (EPN).

17. A storage medium tangibly embodying a program of machine-readable instructions executable by a digital processing apparatus to carry out a method of processing an event in an event processing network, the storage medium configured to:
-
assign an execution mode for at least one event processing agent (EPA) in an event processing network (EPN), wherein the execution mode includes a concurrent mode and a sequential mode; store the execution mode for the at least one EPA in EPN metadata; receive an event, in response to an event occurrence, at an event source, wherein the EPN includes the event source; load the EPN, wherein loading the EPN comprises creating a structure representing the EPN using the EPN metadata; initialize the at least one EPA in the EPN; route the event in the EPN until encountering the EPA; and identify an input event, wherein the input event corresponds to the encountered EPA. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
