The IBM Exploratory Stream Processing Systems group is working on highly scalable stream processing platforms and applications

  • Parallel and high performance stream processing software platform capable of scaling over a range of hardware capability
  • Agile and automated reconfiguration in response to changing user objectives, available data, and the intrinsic variability of system resource availability
  • Incremental tasking in the face of rapidly changing data forms and types
  • Secure, privacy-compliant, and auditable execution environment
  • And take a look at the IBM press release announcing System S a "stream computing" software directly based on this research.
