SOA & Event Driven Architectures (EDA) ? Lessons from the field?

In today?s enterprise many individual applications are sewn together in a federated conglomeration to implement enterprise business processes; processes that are driven by the dynamic nature of sales, manufacturing, shipping, and human workflow intricacies. SOA & EDA are ideally suited to address these dynamic, large, and often times cross application and divisional problem domains.

This talk will explore the processes leading up to the creation of an EDA, the effort involved in designing an EDA in the SOA space, and real world examples illustrating implementation details. Specifically how an EDA is manifested with respect to its messaging infrastructure. We will explore the implementation of messaging patterns and see them in action as they help facilitate the dynamic nature of today?s businesses.
