Event-driven applications that are constructed as compositions of Web applications offer significant benefits. Just as mashups compose Web services to create added value, so too can compositions of event-driven applications create added value.
This article first reviews concepts about event driven applications, sense & respond systems, and [...]

Researchers at Radboud University in The Netherlands were able to monitor the body temperature of participants at the world’s largest marching event using RFID technology. Volunteer participants in the annual Four Days Marches of Nijmegen swallowed an RFID-based temperature sensor that measured their internal temperature and helped researchers identify potential [...]

This week, a report out of the Financial Times (cited here in the LA Times) said that a bug used in the computer models used by analysts at Moody’s Investors Service caused Moody’s to award “incorrect triple-A ratings to billions of dollars worth of a type of complex debt product.” The [...]

September 19-21, JW Marriott Grande Lakes, Orlando, FloridaThree Tracks Focus on Driving Time-critical Decision-makingTrack A: Event ProcessingThis track explores the role of Event Processing in a wide variety of disparate industries and application styles from OLTP through BPM. Each session describes a different set of requirements and a different aspect of Event-driven architecture (EDA) [...]

Event processing has emerged as one of the most important issues in IT today. Event processing encompasses two separate, although related, ideas:
1. Architecture: Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) is a style of application architecture centered on an [...]

In part 1 we argued that SOA and EDA are complementary architectural design concepts, and that the fusion of the two, event-driven SOA (or ED-SOA) should be the design philosophy of both SOA and EDA today.
Now we come to the other two technologies, Business Process Management (BPM) and [...]

Part 1
Approaches to designing and managing information systems have proliferated over the past 15 years, so much so that the space of technical concepts has become quite confusing. There is the SOA arena (service oriented architectures), the BPM arena (business process management), and more recent arrivals in the area of event processing (EP) [...]

Today’s business applications rarely live in isolation. They need to be connected in order to create an integrated solution from which an organization can derive value. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) are two different paradigms that address complex integration challenges. How can organizations choose the better approach to meet their needs? Actually they [...]

Event-Driven SOA is Just Part of the EDA story

INTRODUCTION
Service-Oriented Architecture and Event- Driven Architecture
Over the last year, every time we wrote or spoke about service-oriented architecture (SOA), we couldn’t help but include SOA’s interaction with event-driven architecture (EDA). We see, [...]

Mani Chandy’s primary goal is to help dispel the misconception that EDA is of interest to you, the participants in this conference, as a technology of exclusively research interest that may become useful only after 2008. Many of you are already using EDA. Most of you can benefit from EDA applications now. So, a focus [...]
