I see the events in a event-driven system are emitted by some sources (or agents) and consumed by consumers ( sinks). Sinks have the responsibility of applying a reaction as soon as an event is presented. Generally, event are transmitted among loosely coupled software components. One important

It would not be correct to say that EDA (Event Driven Architecture) and ECA (Event-Condition-Action rules) are the same thing. It would be correct to say that ECA Rules are one way of implementing an event- driven architecture (EDA). If you look at how ECA rules are used in OFBiz you'll se

I think, as a marketing effort, we should put 2-3 sentences about SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) and EDA (Event Driven Architecture) OFBiz's features on main site, in "Introduction: What is Apache OFBiz?" section for instance. Buzz words (acronyms nowadays) can't hurt if we want more recogni
