Autonomous event driven architectures upon service oriented architectures

Abstract

Event Driven Architectures (EDA) and Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) are two technologies that have both gained much popularity among IT infrastructure in worldwide businesses. Although they do have their differences, businesses are discovering that the two actually complement each other, and SOA can be effectively utilized as a platform in implementing an EDA. This paper explores this concept and also highlights Project SCI-Flex; which is a venture towards integration of SOA and Complex Event Processing. Here we look at how the SCI-Flex middleware system may be used in implementing Autonomous and fully functional EDAs.
