Tutorial on advanced design patterns in event processing

We introduce a reference architecture for event processing, as defined by the EPTS reference architecture (RA) working group. An event processing reference architecture allows users to quickly create event processing solutions that adhere to known stakeholder requirements and architectural qualities. The focus in this paper is on the EPTS reference architecture description of the functional view which is supported by a mapping of its functions into design patterns as means to derive and prove these architectural descriptions to be usable solutions for recurring best practice implementations in common CEP languages.
