Opher Etzion is an Israeli author and computer scientist who has been instrumental in the development of the [Event Processing|complex event processing] area of computer science.[1]

Professional background

He is the chief scientist of event processing in IBM Haifa Research Lab.[1] Previously he has been lead architect of event processing technology in IBM Websphere, and a Senior Manager in IBM Research division, managed a department that has performed one of the pioneering projects that shaped the area of “event processing”. He is also the founding chair of Event Processing Technical Society.[2]

He serves as an professor and academic advisor to the MIS department in the Yezreel Valley College, and adjunct professor at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. Etzion has supervised various PhD and MSc theses.

Etzion has authored or co-authored papers in refereed journals and conferences on topics related to: active databases, temporal databases, rule-base systems, event processing and autonomic computing, and giving several keynote address and tutorials. He has been named an Association for Computing Machinery Distinguished Speaker[3].

He is the co-author of Event processing in action (with Peter Niblett), a comprehensive technical book about event processing and co-edited the book "Temporal Database - Research and Practice", Springer-Verlag, 1998. Prior to joining IBM in 1997, he has been a faculty member and Founding Head of the Information Systems Engineering department at the Technion, and held professional and managerial positions in Sapiens and in the Israel Air-Force.
