  • Dynamic adaptations for network delays during complex event processing
    Patent number: 9059935
    Abstract: A message handler may receive a plurality of messages associated with a plurality of events, the events having a temporal relationship to one another. A header inspector may extract latency information from the plurality of messages, the latency information characterizing a transmission duration experienced by each message in traveling from the one or more source nodes through the network. A window manager may correct a disruption in the temporal relationship between at least two events of the plurality of events, the disruption including relative differences in the transmission duration experienced by the at least two events, including relating the at least two events to a time window for processing the at least two events. An event processor may process the at least two events relative to the time window.
