Editing Complex event processing (section)

==Internet of things and smart cyber-physical systems==
Complex event processing is a key enabler in [[Internet of things]] (IoT) settings and smart [[cyber-physical system]]s (CPS) as well. Processing dense and heterogeneous streams from various sensors and matching patterns against those streams is a typical task in such cases.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://msdl.cs.mcgill.ca/people/istvan/pub/mtcps2016|title=Balogh, Dávid, Ráth, Varró, Vörös: Distributed and Heterogeneous Event-based Monitoring in Smart Cyber-Physical Systems, In 1st Workshop on Monitoring and Testing of Cyber-Physical Systems, Vienna, Austria. 2016.}}</ref> The majority of these techniques rely on the fact that representing the IoT system's state and its changes is more efficient in the form of a data stream, instead of having a static, materialized model. Reasoning over such stream-based models fundamentally differs from traditional reasoning techniques and typically require the combination of [[model transformation]]s and CEP.<ref>I. Dávid, I.
