ceps

CEPs is an acronym that can refer to several distinct concepts across different disciplines. The intended meaning is determined by context, with notable uses in computer science, cell biology, business, and environmental professions.

Complex Event Processing (CEP) is a field in computer science that focuses on identifying complex patterns in streams of events as they occur. CEP systems ingest real-time data from multiple sources, apply rules, and trigger actions or alerts. They are used in finance, network security, IoT, and fraud detection.

In cell biology, CEPs designate centrosomal proteins, a family localized at the centrosome that contributes to the organization of microtubules during cell division. Examples include CEP135 and CEP164. These proteins are studied for their roles in centrosome duplication and spindle assembly, and dysfunction is linked to diseases such as microcephaly.

In a business or service context, CEP can refer to Customer Experience Professionals, practitioners who design and manage customer journeys to improve satisfaction and loyalty. They work across marketing, product teams, and customer support, employing journey maps, CX metrics, and experience-design methods.

CEP may also denote a Certified Environmental Professional, a professional credential used in environmental fields to recognize expertise in environmental science, management, and compliance. Credentialing criteria and issuing organizations vary by country and region.
