Learn how a SOA can give you the often sought-after competitive edge

SOA 2.0 and ED-SOA

2 days Hands-on course contents

What you will learn:

SOA and EDA

• The fusion of SOA and EDA into ED-SOA
• Combining events and services
• Business rule processing
• Transforming messages
• Solicit-Response

• Storing and forwarding events
• Facilitating system responsiveness

Event processing Styles

• Simple processing
• Handling real-time flow of work
• Reducing lag time and cost
• Stream processing
• Real time flow of information

• Reversing events

SOA events and the SLA

• Importance of a Service level agreement
• Keeping services within the agreement
• Instances violating the SLA
• Priority for executing risk assessment steps
• Building autonomous processes
• Monitoring and event pattern triggering
• Dependence between events

Software Platform for ED-SOA

• Software Tools for ED-SOA

• Agents and streams
• Guaranteed pause times
• Sensors and event-processing agents
• Responders

Conclusions

• Building of processes facilitated by ED-SOA
• ED-SOA constructed using BPM
• CEP principles as component of ED-SOA
• The increasing quest for control of BP
• Real time autonomous operation
• Gathering business intelligence from events
• The way of the future
