More on The Value of (Production) Rules Tim Bass drills into rules and the relationship to event processing. Production rules and event-condition-action (ECA) rules are reactive rules which can be used for CEP
The architectural principle of fully self contained messages Jack van Hoof explains - and I agree - why loose coupling in SOA and EDA depends on self-contained messages (rather than accessing information by reference which introduces dependencies i.e. couplng),/li>
On "event at a time" vs. "set at a time" processing Opher Etizen discusses event-at-a-time vs set-at-a-time processing: event evaluated against relevant patterns vs patterns evaluated against a set of events
SOA, EDA and CEP a winning combo Jack van Hoof calls out Udi Dahan's thoughts on SOA and EDA: although there aren't many who would say that EDA is necessary for driving down coupling in SOA, or that SOA won't likely provide much value without EDA, or that SOA is necessary for providing the right boundaries for EDA, it's been my experience that that is exactly the case.
