RTInsights online magazine: the April 2013 issue is out

After some delay, the current issue of the RT Insights online magazine is on the air.  

This issue consists of four  interesting articles in the four themes of the magazine:

Business Strategies:Chris Taylor, of TIBCO Software, shows readers how Caesars Entertainment keeps track of thousands of customers at over 50 casinos and hotels with CEP, collecting data on each customer's behaviors and transactions to personalize customer experiences and reward big-spending and loyal customers in real time.

Frontline:  Nenad Stojanovic, PhD, of the Research Center for Information Technologies at the University of Karlsruhe, explains a leading edge approach to personalizing content called Adaptive Augmented Reality (A2R) which adapts content in real-time to each individual's behavioral cues.

Tools and Tactics:Chris Bird, Principal Consultant at MomentumSI and one of the most experienced practitioners in event processing , explains the uses of both in-stream and out-of-band models for event detection in the analysis of ongoing transactions

On the Horizon:Published author Phil Windley, PhD and CTO at Kynetx,  discusses the coming of the "trillion-node networks" of computing devices and programmable chips embedded into every conceivable product and device (known as "Internet of Things"), thus adding intelligence and automation to even the simplest tasks 

You can freely download this issue from the RTInsights website.  Hope you'll find it useful, and looking forward to your feedback (on behalf of the editorial board and the publisher).
