Product Description

Improving Business Agility with EDA

 

Going beyond SOA, enterprises can gain even greater agility by implementing event-driven architectures (EDAs) that automatically detect and react to significant business events. However, EDA planning and deployment is complex, and even experienced SOA architects and developers need expert guidance. In Event-Driven Architecture, four leading IT innovators present both the theory of EDA and practical, step-by-step guidance to implementing it successfully.

 

The authors first establish a thorough and workable definition of EDA and explore how EDA can help solve many of today’s most difficult business and IT challenges. You’ll learn how EDAs work, what they can do today, and what they might be able to do as they mature. You’ll learn how to determine whether an EDA approach makes sense in your environment and how to overcome the difficult interoperability and integration issues associated with successful deployment. Finally, the authors present chapter-length case studies demonstrating how both full and partial EDA implementations can deliver exceptional business value. Coverage includes

 

  • How SOA and Web services can power event-driven architectures
  • The role of SOA infrastructure, governance, and security in EDA environments
  • EDA core components: event consumers and producers, message backbones, Web service transport, and more
  • EDA patterns, including simple event processing, event stream processing, and complex event processing
  • Designing flexible stateless events that can respond to unpredictable customers, suppliers, and business partners
  • Addressing technical and business challenges such as project management and communication
  • EDA at work: real-world applications across multiple verticals

 

Hugh Taylor is a social software evangelist for IBM Lotus Software. He coauthored Understanding Enterprise SOA and has written extensively on Web services and SOA. He holds an MBA from Harvard Business School. Angela Yochem is an executive in a multinational technology company and is a recognized thought leader in architecture and large-scale technology management. Les Phillips, VP, enterprise architecture, at SunTrust Banks Inc., is responsible for defining the strategic and business IT foundation for many areas of the enterprise. Frank Martinez, EVP, product strategy, at SOA Software, is a recognized expert on distributed, enterprise application, and infrastructure platforms. He has served as senior operating executive for several venture-backed firms and helped build Intershop Communications into a multibillion-dollar public company.

3-0 out of 5 stars Good introduction, but skimps on the implementation choices
I came to this book with a background in SoA principles, real-life experience implementing dozens of web services over HTTP in Java (some lightweight, some using full object models in SOAP, some in SOAP with XML CLOBs, some REST-like) and I was looking for a practical survey of how to go about converting your developer's mindset of a typical Web Services/SoA setup into one that supports real EDA, and provides the flexibility required - that I've always noted has been lacking from the designs I have previously implemented. I don't really feel like I got this from this book. I felt like it too quickly eschewed commentary on the specific difficulties in implementing web services like the ones described, instead asserting that merely thinking in an EDA mindset (storing as much state in the message as possible, use pub-sub etc) was enough to ensure the long-term *ilities of your architecture, without really /demonstrating/ how this worked in practice. For example, I didn't really feel like the book covered principles of how to design your SOAP (or other) schemas in such a way to allow your event state models to change over time, whether to publish different "versions" of an event type to different messaging endpoints, how to handle events which can only be handled by one instance of a service (but need to have redundancy and load balancing) -- or other approaches to managing change in your event producers and consumers. I also felt like it accepted UDDI as the solution to service location without criticism; I'd at least expect some commentary on drawbacks or alternatives.

Many such practical concerns when choosing frameworks and the practical concerns with designing such systems seem to have been left as "implementation detail" despite the heavy focus on Governance in later sections making quite a lot of noise about the importance of standardisation and policy. What about the theory and best practice that should go into designing these policies?

Perhaps I was expecting too much from a relatively short book; I just felt that to separate itself from the many SoA books on the market required more detailed analysis (and I mean getting closer to implementation) of the best practice and implementation considerations (i.e. expanded "EDA core components" and "EDA patterns" sections.)

On the plus side, the book is written well, in a good style and generally makes good use of diagrams when necessary, and it's a good overview of the subject area. I found it enjoyable to read. I also agree with many of its conclusions, just was looking for more discussion of ways around the drawbacks to implementing EDA -- other than "make sure you have stakeholder buy in", as in the later sections. Given the "level" of roles the writers are in, perhaps I was expecting the wrong thing from this book in wanting more of a bridge to implementation by developers.

5-0 out of 5 stars Any studying EDA needs this primer
Computer libraries catering to programmers will find much of interest in Event-Driven Architecture: How SOA Enables the Real-Time Enterprise. It covers all aspects of SOA operations, from defining terminology and showing how EDA can apply to common business programs to IT challenges in its implementation and how the EDA approach can help a range of issues. Any studying EDA needs this primer.

1-0 out of 5 stars Vacuous Evangelism
I had hoped that this book would help me bridge the communications gap between event-driven systems architects like myself and architects that are primarily used to SOA.I also hoped it would help me to work with the our existing SOA infrastructure to realize the benefits of EDA on a wider enterprise level.My hopes were dashed.

The authors fail to inform us how SOA "enables" the "real-time enterprise".In fact they admit that SOA is not the best way to implement event-driven architectures.Worse, they fail to inform us how EDA can even be implemented on a SOA infrastructure.

The real thesis is that EDA is a valuable and overlooked architectural element.It has been overlooked due to the late emphasis on SOA with it's request-reply model.The authors note that many companies probably already have a SOA in place and promise to inform us how we can implement EDA on top of that.But they don't even try to do this.

The most promising chapter in this regard seems to be "The SOA-EDA Connection".But rather than connect anything the author's present yet another mostly evangelistic overview of EDA in the very beginning.It is noted that "Although simple in concept, the realities of bending the raw Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) Web services into a functioning EDA are quite challenging andcomplex".But no real information is given about how to solve this problem.The authors spend the rest of the chapter discussing how one should design and implement SOA; No mention of EDA or how one is to implement it using an existing SOA infrastructure.

5-0 out of 5 stars SOA paradigm shift well explained...
This book caught my interest as I have often heard EDA term before and was very much intrigued by it. Just like an advent of event driven programming brought a landslide change in the level of flexibility and interactivity in desktop applications in 90s, this new architecture style promises the same for large scale enterprise systems. Yet, I had lots of questions as to practical challenges and paradigm shifts which such approach may require. This book not only clarified my question and doubts about feasibility of EDA at the enterprise level, it has lead me to discover many other interesting applications of this paradigm that now I am aspiring to try in my practice.
I would highly recommend this book to those who are looking to take their SOA architecture to the next level.

5-0 out of 5 stars Complex concepts in simple terms
This book does a great job of explaining complex concepts in simple terms.Whether you are experienced or brand new to these ideas, I think this book will be very useful to you.

The book gives you practical step-by-step suggestions which you can start to implement immediately. ... Read more

Product Description
introduction by Bernard Tschumi

In A Landscape of Events, the celebrated French architect, urbanplanner, and philosopher Paul Virilio focuses on the cultural chaos ofthe 1980s and 1990s. It was a time, he writes, that reflected the"cruelty of an epoch, the hills and dales of daily life, the usualclumps of habits and commonplaces."

Urban disorientation, the machines of war, and the acceleration ofevents in contemporary life are Virilio's ongoing concerns. He exploresthem in events ranging from media coverage of the Gulf War to urbanrioting and lawlessness. Some will see Virilio as a pessimistdiscouraged by "the acceleration of the reality of time," while otherswill find his recording of "atypical events" to be clairvoyant. ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Turning Away
In A Landscape of Events, consisting of 13 essays written between 1984 and 1996, French thinker Paul Virilio examines the effects of modern technology on our societies and psyches.The exercise is frequently both enlightening and bleak.Consider, for instance, this passage: "...in giving more depth to the present `instant,' these new electromagnetic technologies will ruin us and literally kill us; television's so-called real instant only ever being that of the sudden disappearance of our immediate consciousness."Among the effects of these "new electromagnetic technologies" - essentially our digital "communication" tools - on humans, Virilio sees the atomization of cities, of communities of all sorts, with each person diverted into his or her own consumer-entertainment-lifestyle dreamworld.Here Heraclitus is kind enough to step onto Virilio's stage and elucidate matters with this remark: "The world is one and common to those who are awake, but everybody who is asleep turns away to his own."

On the debit side, Virilio's nimble prose style can often be too fast for its own good, with quick jumps à la Baudrillard that sometimes seem to leave thought behind.And when it comes to politics Virilio exhibits an unconcern bordering on naivete - looking, for instance, at impacts of the Gulf War and never venturing any thoughts about the curious situation in which a single country, the United States, arrogates to itself the right to decide for the world who will be bombed and who will be spared, who will live and who will die. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
In Architectures of Time, Sanford Kwinter offers a critical guide to the modern history of time and to the interplay between the physical sciences and the arts. Tracing the transformation of twentieth-century epistemology to the rise of thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, Kwinter explains how the demise of the concept of absolute time, and of the classical notion of space as a fixed background against which things occur, led to field theory and a physics of the "event." He suggests that the closed, controlled, and mechanical world of physics gave way to the approximate, active, and qualitative world of biology as a model of both scientific and metaphysical explanation.Kwinter examines theory of time and space in Einstein's theories of relativity and shows how these ideas were reflected in the writings of the sculptor Umberto Boccioni, the town planning schema of the Futurist architect Antonio Sant'Elia, the philosophy of Henri Bergson, and the writings of Franz Kafka. He argues that the writings of Boccioni and the visionary architecture of Sant'Elia represent the earliest and most profound deployments of the concepts of field and event. In discussing Kafka's work, he moves away from the thermodynamic model in favor of the closely related one of Bergsonian durée, or virtuality. He argues that Kafka's work manifests a coherent cosmology that can be understood only in relation to the constant temporal flux that underlies it. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Simply Outstanding
Kwinter's analysis is extraordinary. His method is fairly eclectic, however, as some would issue this as a detraction, he compensates by having a wonderful writing style and a copious amount of mastery of the concepts that he addresses. I have read several treatises on architecture from 'philosophers'(i.e., Foucault, the Sitiuationists, et al.), but what is novel here is a designer explaining the epistemological frame of reference in the edifice, or engendering from it. Furthermore, it is completely amazing to think of the ostensibly disparate entities of Futurist architecture, quantum mechanics and relativity and Kafka as all burgeoning within the same epochal stuctures. I did find it odd that the author did not address Lefevbre's space/time tomes and rhythmanalysis. Kwinter is worth reading, and I think this book will be written about for years to come. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars A superb starting point
As an architect, I found this book a fascinating launch pad for further research into the symbolism and mythologies that went in to the making of so much of the World's great architecture. As a primer, this book takes us from the mythic nature of ancient architectural symbolism through the memory theater of the middle ages and into the Jungian understanding of symbols and forms. I enjoyed the initiation into hidden truths concealed within buildings and now my travel plans are slowly converging with places descibed in ths book.

2-0 out of 5 stars A good introduction.
But that's probably about the extent of what can really be said about it.I think this more-or-less meant to be a coffee table book as it contains a lot of photos.The author deals with the subject matter in a sort of superficial way that doesn't really delve too deep into the motives behind the use of certain principles - thankfully that subject matter can be found in other books.The one thing I took away from the book was merely an understanding that their were practices in many cultures around the world that dealt with putting the spiritual symbolically into their architecture. ...

Product Description
Today, landscape architecture often stands at the centre of attention - perhaps more frequently than is desirable for its own sake? Designing with "nature", whether in urban spaces or in company grounds, at horticultural shows or in "temporary gardens" generates an attractive and immediate emotional impact. It is not just architects and artists who incorporate landscape features in their designs today, but also local authorities and wellknown companies wishing to promote an image of ecological responsibility combined with innovative design. The result is a kind of landscape-based event culture with popular appeal. "Event Landscape?" describes the current state of this wide-sweeping development. A wide array of recent landscape designs with detailed information are presented, revealing how landscape architecture can play a part in solving major issues of public space: the sustainable renewal of towns, the transformation of farmland into new cultural landscapes, the role of historic gardens and parks. Which are the choices behind contemporary landscape design? Thies Schroder, author of Changes in Scenery, takes an informative and critical look at the present situation. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
Gestalt theory provided the discipline of architecture with several key ideas by which it distinguished the opposition between "figure" and "ground", "field" and "object". These distinctions and the techniques of representation they fostered influenced the development of formal architectural strategies and ultimately the physical form of the contemporary city. In Field Event: Field Space Kevin Rhowbotham sets out a collection of two-and-three dimensional studies in series that describe an architecture and urbanism that proceeds from the "ground" or "field" pole of the Gestalt opposition. Field Event: Field Space follows on Rhowbotham's Form to Programme (also Black Dog Publishing), taking further his ideas for a critically engaged and responsible architecture and pursuing them here in more detail, that is, in the specific context of the urbanisms of the former Eastern Block states and their regions. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars normative assasign; speculation breeds anew
Rhowbotham has posited critical, thought provoking ideas for over a century now.In the UK, his work has contributed to the discourse, testing and expanding the limits of architecture through works such as this.In a library of precise instruments, Field Event/Field Space builds on the capacity to go beyond the limits and truely dream of what architecture could be...this is how architecture advances.

2-0 out of 5 stars Pretentious but thought provoking opus
As a 'paper architect' Rhowbotham has the freedom to desert the real world, and certainly revels in doing just that in this provocative but ultimately dissatisfying book.Using images produced by his students, theauthor champions a way of thinking which probably has some merit.However,his use of language is so complex as to defeat comprehension much of thetime.Rhowbotham sees himself as a leader of the avant garde, but thisbook does little to advance his claim and is a missed opportunity for us tolearn about an obviously talented individual. ...
