A computing unit searches the rule information to find information indicating a first operation, information indicating an operation of a condition determination that is executable regardless of the result of the first operation, and information indicating a second operation that is associated with the condition determination and uses the result of the first operation. The computing unit generates control information for controlling the execution order of the operations such that the first operation is executed in accordance with the result of the condition determination and such that the second operation is executed after the first operation. When the event data is input, the computing unit executes an operation corresponding to the input event data, based on the control information. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing therein an event processing program that causes a computer to perform a process comprising: searching rule information that includes information indicating a plurality of operations that is started according to types of events indicated in event data, to find information indicating a first operation that is started for event data of a first type, information indicating an operation of a condition determination that is executable using the event data regardless of a result of the first operation and that is started after the first operation is executed, and information indicating a second operation whose execution is determined depending on a result of the condition determination and which uses the result of the first operation;
