eBig Java SIG: Esper, Open Source Event Stream Processing March 18, 2009

Abstract:

Event Driven Architectures (EDA) provide a powerful framework for creating loosely couple business applications. Not only can EDA improve application construction but event stream processing can scale where call oriented architectures cannot. Esper is an open source implementation of an ESP that provides excellent performance and rich functionality. This talk will explore the advantages of EDA and provide examples in Esper.
