Towards a Quality of Service Based Complex Event Processing in Smart Grids

This paper investigates distributed event processing in smart grids, considering the following quality of service (QoS) dimensions: event priority, network occupation, memory occupation, and notification latency. It proposes an architecture for a QoS based distributed event processing. Our approach considers that the event processing is implemented as a network of operators that are executed by distributed event processing units. We also investigate on strategies used by event processing units in order to address QoS requirements.
