In this page you can find a description of the benchmarks that comprise the ''BiCEP'' suite.

== ''Pairs'' ==
The ''Pairs'' benchmark is set on the capital markets environment and exercises a wide range of features commonly found in most event processing applications, including:
* Filtering, aggregation, and correlation of events;
* Detection of event patterns and trends;
* State maintenance;
* Large number of simultaneous queries (increasing with the system scale);
* Changing load conditions.

''Pairs'' was designed to assess the ability of CEP systems in processing increasingly larger number of continuous queries and event arrival rates while providing quick answers – three quality attributes equally important for an event processing engine. The benchmark was also designed to be fully customizable, so that users can carry out performance studies that resemble more closely their own environments.

The most updated specification of ''Pairs'' (revision 0.2) can be found [http://bicep.dei.uc.pt here]. The benchmark kit, required to run ''Pairs'', can be donwloaded from the [http://bicep.dei.uc.pt/Tools Tools] section.
