Description

The FINCoS framework is a Java-based set of benchmarking tools for load generation and performance measurement of Event Processing systems. It provides a flexible and neutral approach for experimenting diverse CEP systems, where load generators, datasets, queries, and adapters can be easily attached, swapped, reconfigured and scaled.

This project is part of our initiative hosted at University of Coimbra that aims at devising standard benchmarks for the event processing community (please see bicep.dei.uc.pt for more details). FINCoS is also hosted at the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) repository of peer-reviewed tools for quantitative system evaluation and analysis.
