Traditional request-driven SOA design patterns can’t handle the volume, responsiveness, and real-time information needs of some important business situations. A growing number of SOA projects are implementing event-driven architecture (EDA) for critical portions of their processing to provide the sense-and-respond behavior that companies increasingly need. In this session, Dr.K. Mani Chandy, Simon Ramo Professor at the California Institute of Technology, and W. Roy Schulte, Distinguished Analyst at Gartner Inc. will present key findings from their new book Event Processing: Designing IT Systems for Agile Companies (McGraw-Hill, 2009).

Attend this session to learn:

• How to determine which applications in your business can best benefit from EDA
• How to evaluate the costs and benefits of event processing applications and how to make a business case for EDA systems
• How modern event processing and business activity monitoring software tools cut through the “fog of commerce” to enable better and faster decisions.
