EDA (Event Driven Architecture) and SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) are two distinct but related architectures. In fact, systems can be a combination of both. Many organizations are finding that event-driven SOA maximizes business agility. However, there remains a lot of confusion in the industry about how EDA and SOA are related and how they differ.

Tune into this live panel discussion with noted experts to get your questions answered, and learn how EDA can enhance your SOA efforts.

Submit a question, win a copy of Dr. Luckham's book.

What you will learn:

• How EDA and SOA are related but distinct architectural approaches
• How EDA can increase the agility of SOA implementations
• Business scenarios - when to use EDA, when to use SOA, and when to use both.

Featured Speakers

Dr. K. Mani Chandy is the Simon Ramo Professor at Caltech - the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California. He received his PhD at MIT and was a professor at the University of Texas at Austin from 1970 to 1987, and has been at Caltech since then. During this time Dr. Chandy co-founded a company and consulted for several companies on computer performance, distributed systems and event processing. Dr. Chandy's research is on event processing in enterprises and on distributed computing/control systems. He has written papers on practical applications and theory of event processing systems. He led the Caltech Infospheres group that studied the use of event processing in crisis management. Dr. Chandy was given the CMG Michelson and IEEE Kobayashi awards and is a member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering.

Dr. David Luckham has held faculty and invited faculty positions in mathematics, computer science and electrical engineering at eight major universities in Europe and the United States. He was one of the founders of Rational Software Inc. in 1981, supplying both the company's initial software product and the software team that founded the company. He has been an invited lecturer, keynote speaker, panelist, and USA delegate at many international conferences and congresses. Currently, he is Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering, Stanford University.

His research and consulting activities in software technology include multi-processing and business process languages, event-driven systems, complex event processing, business activity monitoring, commercial middleware, program verification, systems architecture modelling and simulation, and artificial intelligence (automated deduction and reasoning systems).

He has published four books and over 100 technical papers; two ACM/IEEE Best Paper Awards, several of his papers are now in historical anthologies and book collections. His latest book, The Power of Events, deals with the foundations of complex event processing in distributed enterprise systems.

Rodney Morrison is Vice President of Products for SL Corporation. In this role he is responsible for SL's product management, tracking market industry trends, as well as competitive analysis for SL. Rodney has had several roles since joining SL in 1988 as part of the development team, including technical sales support, managing software development, developing the VAR network in Europe, and managing sales and marketing efforts in Europe and Japan. Prior to SL, Rodney was a software development engineer and manager focusing on real-time embedded systems at Texas Instruments, Litton Industries, and E-Systems (Raytheon). Rodney holds a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Kansas.
