Oracle says each component of SOA, EDA and Grid computing platforms require applications to be developed separately. Along the lines of EDA, Oracle is developing Complex Event Processing (CEP). The CEP capabilities will complement exixting EDA capabilities. As a result, real-time operational dashboards will be provided. This aspect enables tracking of key business performance indicators. Impact assessment is the functional component of event processing. Predicted reactions can be estimated so cost, priorities and utilities can be an integral part of the business solution.
