Abstract

Techniques for embedded event processing are provided. In some examples, instructions for executing at least a subset of complex event processing features may be received. A stream of events received by the edge computing device may be identified. Additionally, the events of the stream utilizing the subset of complex event processing features may be processed. Further, in some aspects, the processed events may be provided to a complex event platform of a server.
