The vision of this paper is to bring together a team of biologists and from medicine regarding the definition of biomarkers with specialists of process or event modelling methodology to implement such biomarkers and with IT specialists of Ubiquitous Complex Event Processing of accordant real-time processing platforms for a tremendous vast amount of events or signals per second. In the final paper we will connect the mathematical approach of Andree Ehresmann and Jean-Paul Vanbremeersch (U Picardie Jules Verne) as well as the approach based on U-CEP and Brain Computer Interface (BCI) as discussed in the paper of Yuri Danilov / Kurt Kaczmarek / Mitchell Tyler (U Madison/TCNL) / Rainer v. Ammon (CITT) / Opher Etzion (IBM)

Outline (to be replaced by abstract in the final paper, Springer style) 1. Why connecting BCI with U-CEP? 2. BCI as interface to and from the brain 3. The role of U-CEP 4. Infrastructure for connecting BCI and U-CEP: Body Area Networks and Wearable Technologies 5. The appropriate computing power - cognitive computing chips, combining digital ‘neurons’ and ‘synapses’ 5. New applications based on connecting BCI and U-CEP 6. BrainPort technology 7. CN-NINM technology 8. Example “Depression (or another example)”: Defining biomarkers, event modelling of biosensors as event sources and process modelling for influencing the protein-machinery

The second Dagstuhl seminar on event processing took place in May 2010. This fiveday meeting was oriented to work toward a comprehensive document that would explain event processing and how it relates to other technologies and suggest future work in terms of standards, challenges, and shorter-term research projects. The 45 participants came from academia and industry, some of them out of the event processing field. The teams continued the work after the conference and have summarized their findings in this document. The chapters were written by different teams and then edited for consistency. The chapter team leaders were: Robert Berry (Chapter 1), Peter Niblett (Chapter 2), Arno Jacobsen (Chapter 3), Paul Vincent (Chapter 4), Bernhard Seeger (Chapter 5), and Patrick Eugster (Chapter 6). The Dagstuhl seminar was organized by Rainer von Ammon, Mani Chandy, and Opher Etzion (who served as editor for this document); the technical editing was done by Sharon Geva. The following people participated in the seminar: Rainer von Ammon, Darko Anicic, Stefan Appel, Jean Bacon, Robert Berry, Pedro Bizarro, Andrey Brito, Simon Brodt, Francois Bry, Alejandro Buchmann, Sharma Chakravarthy, Badrish Chandramouli, Mani Chandy, Christoph Emmsersberger, Opher Etzion, Patrick Eugster, Dieter Gawlick, Annika Hinze, Martin Hirzel, Mark Horsburgh, Arno Jackobsen, Boris Koldehofe, Alexander Kozlenkov, Wolfgang May, Daniel Meiron, Ken Moody, Peter Niblett, Adrian Paschke, Udo Pletat, Olga Poppe, Tore Risch, Harold Shcoening, Roy Schulte, Bernhard Seeger, Marco Seirio, Guy Sharon, Plamen Siemonov, Florian Springer, Nenad Stojanovic, John SutcliffeBraithwate, Richard Tibbetts, Ronen Vaisnberg, Paul Vincent, Agnes Voisard, Christian Wolff, Carlo Zaniolo, and Holger Ziekow. All participants contributed to this document. This role of this document is twofold: To educate the public about event processing, since it is a relatively new area. To call for action to the community in the areas of standards and further research. One of the highlights of the seminar was the establishment of an event processing grand challenge. We believe that the current applications based on event processing technology just scratched the surface of its potential; the grand challenges offers a focus to make the quantum leap in the impact of event processing on the world.

This workshop focuses on the topics of connecting Internet of Services and Things as event sources of a global “smart dust” with the management of business processes and the Future and Emerging Technologies as addressed by the European FET-F 2020 and Beyond Initiative. Such FET challenges are not longer limited to business processes, but focus on new ideas in order to connect processes on the basis of CEP with disciplines of Cell Biology, Epigenetics, Brain Research, Robotics, Emergency Management, SocioGeonomics, Bio- and Quantum Computing – summarized under the concept of U-CEP. This workshop extends edBPM as actually "commodity" from the perspective of the scientific State of the Art, although there are no real adopters so far and we are far from standards. This workshop extends edBPM as ed(B)PM (not all processes must be “business” processes) to U-CEP (new application domains, new services from the "Universe"). In continuation with the edBPM workshops at the 1st ServiceWave 2008 in Madrid and the 2nd ServiceWave 2009 in Stockholm, this 3rd workshop is a thematical enhancement considering the grand challenges defined by Future Internet Initiative and FET-F. The workshop positions U-CEP as an appropriate umbrella for new medium-term Future Internet- and long-term FET-F technologies, products and ideas.
