Complex event processing (CEP): Computing that performs operations on complex events, including reading, creating, transforming, abstracting, or discarding them.
Composite event: A derived event that is created by combining a set of other simple or complex events (known as its members)—using a specific set of event constructors, such as disjunction, conjunction, and sequence. A composite event always includes the member (base) events from which it is derived.
Constraint (event pattern constraint): A Boolean condition that must be satisfied by the events observed in a system.
Derived event (synthesized event, synthetic event): An event that is generated as a result of applying a method or process to one or more other events.
Event: Anything that happens or is contemplated as happening.
Event (event object, event message, event tuple): An object that represents encodes or records an event, generally for the purpose of computer processing.
