Is there an open-source complex event processing (CEP) engine for ruby?
I'm looking specifically for something that offers stateful analysis, not just rules-engine-style antecedent-predicate productions.
A:
I haven't been following the CEP scene too closely (I worked with Cayuga from Cornell University, now open source, and Esper around 2006-2007), but I haven't heard of one yet. Most of them appear to be in .NET, Java, and C/C++. There are some event-related libraries for Ruby, but none seem to be anywhere near the capabilities of CEP engines such as Esper or StreamBase.

A:
Most CEP engines are servers that you can talk to in various language independent ways. For example delivering events using TCP/IP, JMS, http or other protocols.
