What is the IEP SE?

IEP SE is a JBI 1.0 compliant Service Engine and is developed within the Open ESB community. IEP stands for Inteliigent Event Processor and SE stands for Service Engine. IEP SE is an open source Complex Event Processing (CEP) and Event Stream Processing (ESP) engine. When you download Open ESB, you get all the required tools as well as IEP SE. These tools, along with IEP SE, enable SOA and Event-Driven Architectures.

The IEP SE can send and receive events from all the external systems that Open ESB supports. The events generated by the components of the Open ESB together with, any external events can be viewed as a cloud or a streams of events. The IEP SE can analyze both types of events. IEP uses Continuous Query Language (CQL) and a rich set of operators to analyze the events.

Using the IEP SE

Please refer to the IEP SE Application Developer page for information on how to use IEP. Here you will find tutorials, user guides, how-tos, and other userful resources.
