1 Introduction

Complex Event Processing Engine Management (CEPM) is a web service protocol that defines the communication between a client application and a complex event processing (CEP) server. By using this protocol, a client application can create metadata objects on a CEP server, start and stop queries, and query about the CEP system state.
