Steve Jones had this post on SOA v EDA while David Luckham posted on why SOA, EDA, BPM and CEP are all complementary. I think these two have it right - SOA and EDA are complimentary as are EDA and BPM. They represent different ways to bring services (components) together to solve business problems. I would go further and say that decision services are the right way to bring rules into SOA. I have blogged before about SOA, BPM, CEP and business rules and why business rules matter in an event-driven SOA. I think event driven design is particularly suitable for what I call transaction-centric decisioning too and that's a good thing.
I also recommend two articles in SOA magazine - this one on business rules in SOA and this one on SOA and EDA.
