Today's business is event-driven. Businesses of all
shapes and sizes are driven by and respond to events.
Thus IT-Systems offer a large amount of events,
representing notable activities in complex workflows
and business processes, that are the sub ject of event
analysis. This thesis highlights the necessity for
specialized event analysis tools, explains the
relationship to Complex Event Processing (CEP),
outlines requirements and proposes the EventCloud
system.
EventCloud is a generic, offline event analysis tool
for Complex Event Processing (CEP) scenarios.
EventCloud enables its user to navigate through events,
pick up single events and display their content,
discover chains of events and how they are correlated,
and to recognize patterns inside the events. Metrics
can be defined to provide insight at a higher level and
to measure business performance. It visualizes business
and process developments at the fine-grained level of
events.
