Active Complex Event Processing over Event Streams

Summary: Introduces Active CEP, embedding event-triggered rules and real-time actions—including query-affecting reactions—into stream pattern processing. A stream-oriented transactional model and Low-Water-Mark scheduler ensure correctness under concurrency while delivering near-real-time, orders-of-magnitude higher throughput.
