Event-Driven Architecture

Four IT innovation experts discuss business applications for event-driven architectures (EDA), showing developers and SOA architects how to navigate through the complex interoperability and integration issues to implement an approach that automatically detect and react to specific events. Taylor (social software evangelist, IBM), Yochem (an executive in a multinational technology company), Phillips (an enterprise architecture VP) and Martinez (a software strategy EVP) explain how EDAs are integrated with SOAs and web services to provide complete governance and security, and provide detail description of core components such as event consumers and producers, message backbones and web service transports. This book also describes actual EDA applications "at work" in order to display features across multiple verticals. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
