City of Babel and Complex Event Processing

City of Babel is recorded in Genesis[1], Everyone on earth spoke the same language. As people migrated from the east, they settled in the land of Shinar(Mesopotamia). People there attempt to make bricks and build a city and a tower with its top in the sky, so that they not be scattered over the world. God came down to look at the city and tower, and remarked that as one people with one language, nothing that they sought would be out of their reach. God went down and confounded their speech, so that they could not understand each other, and scattered them over the face of the earth, and they stopped building the city. Thus the city was called Babel.

This story explain the origin of a custom, ritual, geographical feature, name, or other phenomenon. The story of the tower of Babel explains the origins of the multiplicity of languages. God was concerned that humans had too much freedom to do as they wished, so God brought into existence multiple languages.

The text of the Tower of Babel or City of Babel  is commonly used today by people who devise constructed languages. As I was looking to

Several communities were contributing to the area of CEP, and each bringing its own expertise and vocabulary and languages. If we try to solve such problem, we follow below steps. 

  • Compare different systems in a precise way
  • Compare different approaches in a precise way
  • Isolate the open issues from those already solved
  • People coming from different areas communicate and compare their work with others
  • Precisely identify the challenges
  • To isolate the best part of the various approaches
