Event processing systems and methods

An event processing system is provided. The event processing system includes a multi-agent based system. The multi-agent based system includes a core engine configured to define and deploy a plurality of agents configured to perform a first set of programmable tasks defined by one or more users. The first set of programmable tasks are configured to operate with real time data. The multi-agent based system also includes a monitoring engine configured to monitor a lifecycle of the plurality of agents, communication amongst the plurality of agents and a processing time of the programmable tasks. The multi-agent based system further includes a computing engine coupled to the core engine and configured to execute the first set of programmable tasks. The event processing system includes a batch processing system configured to enable deployment of a second set of programmable tasks that operate with non-real time data and a studio coupled to the multi-agent based system and configured to enable the one or more users to manage the multi-agent based system and the batch processing system.
