EVENFLOW participated in the 51st International Conference on Very Large Data Bases 2025 (VLDB 2025) conference held in London, United Kingdom, from September 1st to 5th, 2025.

On September 3rd, partners Ourania Ntouni and Nikos Giatrakos, from ATHENA Research Center (ARC), presented the demo paper NeuroFlinkCEP: Neurosymbolic Complex Event Recognition Optimized across IoT Platforms, linked to the EVENFLOW Scalability Toolkit.

A dedicated site to this demo will be soon incorporated in the main EVENFLOW Scalability Toolkit branch: https://neuroflinkcep.github.io/.

Abstract of the paper: We demonstrate NeuroFlinkCEP, the first framework that integrates neural and symbolic Complex Event Recognition (CER) over a state-of-the-art Big Data platform, also optimising neurosymbolic CER upon operating over IoT settings. NeuroFlinkCEP receives expressed patterns as extended regular expressions and automatically transforms them to FlinkCEP jobs per device. To enable detection of simple events involved in CER patterns, NeuroFlinkCEP can integrate any neural model in FlinkCEP jobs. To optimally assign operator execution in-network, we incorporate and extend a state-of-the-art IoT optimiser.
