Gartner Event Processing Summit, Stamford, Connecticut, September 15-16, 2008

Event-driven architectures are used in a wide variety of applications, but the technologies, costs and benefits vary. You’ll gain a clear view of different types of event-driven applications: How to evaluate their costs and benefits; relationships of event-driven architecture applications to Service-Oriented architecture and other technologies in the enterprise service stack; processes of designing Event-driven architecture applications; how to get started and potential pitfalls. The session will develop concepts by presenting examples of event-driven architecture in different business applications with a focus on evaluating the return on investment.
