"We didn't start the fire ... it was always burning since the world's been turning ..." [Billy Joel 1989]. Is SOA the "Same Old Architecture?" or is it "Simply Over Ambitious?" Let's apply SOA's arsenal:: XML, BPM, Services, SOAP, Web Services - to the real world and find out. Let's put out some fires.

Are standards the answer to Event driven SOA?

Recent trends in EAI practices indicate the coming of mainstream of event driven architectures.

However, the complementary trend of SOA is still to recognize the value of events and event driven architectures for generating scaleable SOAs. Event driven SOAs are occupying the mindshare of a lot of SOA practitioners, and vendors like TIBCO etc.

 

However the catalyst to coming of event driven SOA might be in form of standards?

Standards like WS-Eventing and WS-notification are on the horizon and may take a few years to become mainstream. These standards might be the key to the unfolding of event driven SOAs on a larger scale.
