How to implement effective event-processing solutions

Business people and IT professionals understand well the benefits of corporate agility and fast response to emerging threats and opportunities. However, many people are less familiar with the techniques now available to help accomplish those aspirations.

Event processing has emerged as the key enabler for situation awareness and a set of guiding principles for systems that can adapt quickly to shifts in company and market conditions. Written by experts in the field, this prescriptive guide explains how to use event processing in the design of business processes and the systems that support them. Event Processing: Designing IT Systems for Agile Companies covers:

• The role of event processing in enabling business dashboards and situation awareness
• Types of event-processing applications and their costs and benefits
  
• How event-driven architecture (EDA) complements conventional request-driven SOA
  
• How to implement event processing without disrupting existing applications
