EDA, SOA 2.0, And Digital Business Architecture

EDA, SOA 2.0, And Digital Business Architecture - How Event-Driven Applications Fit Into The Future Of IT Architecture - by Randy Heffner

Forrester has long considered event-driven processing to be an integral part of service-oriented architecture (SOA), but some industry players are just recently catching up. They are combining event-driven architecture (EDA) and SOA and calling it SOA 2.0. But IT shops are doing much more than service-oriented architecture SOA, so Forrester's Digital Business Architecture provides a broad vision around service-oriented architecture SOA to encompass firms' varied user-interaction channels, unified communications, information architecture, and virtualized IT infrastructure. And event-driven processing is an integral part of this broader view, too.
