+/- 1 + on the numbering POV. And on the notion that EDA is something new. - on the characterization of EDA. Just as SOA is not simply web services neither is...
EDA is an architectural pattern that is an asynchronous publish-and-subscribe type of pattern. I think, we can say, the current trend in systems architecture...
I'm looking at my bookshelf and wondering what the difference between RIA and X/Xt/Motif is :) What I mean by this is that the principles in a good interface...
I agree on the EDA not just being messaging, what I'd say is that from a business SOA perspective there isn't really any difference between an event based...
The initial question was: are RIA and SOA orthogonal or compatible considering that SOA is coarse-grained while RIA is fine-grained ? (I do not support neither...
I agree with Steve - "from a business SOA perspective there isn't really any differencebetween an event based interaction and a non-event based interaction"....
This is an interesting example of topic drift that often occurs in this Group. My original question was, "Just how relevant do you think RIA is to SOA and...
We agree on the point about there not being a difference between event and non-event service invocation. From the service perspective, they look the same. But...
I'll revise my initial response a bit. RIA is no more or less relevant to services than any other presentation layer effort. The services don't care that the...
I respectfully disagree. EDA does not prescribe synchronicity, pub/sub nor mediation. My point of bringing up this POV on EDA is that EDA is not about event- ...
Adding to that, Services make RIA easier, as they make all interactions easier as they present a logical representation of what is being done. RIA can, as...
... True enough, but I'd argue that EDA is a technical implementation approach (like REST or T-SOA) in which the producers and consumers are (from a B-SOA...
A comment from Steve Jones prompted me to think about the reasons why I try to avoid using the term SOA in isolation. I thought the list might generate some...
To be deliberately contrarian.... ... The same could be said about OO, or indeed "Architecture", that doesn't mean it isn't helpful. ... Ahh but only OASIS is...
I just don't think the perception of the 3 letter acronym (SOA) which everyone talks so passionately about and vendors take advantage of, means or comes close...
... Absolutely. ... Nope. We've had a reasonably clear and stable definition of software architecture (at least) for at least 20 years now. ... Sure it does....
Excellent counter-points all. Particularly those stating how EA shares many of the negative characteristics I pile upon SOA. To further the contrarian exchange...
... These terms are not used in isolation very often. Noone says "I'm implementing an OO" but many people say "I'm implementing our SOA." OO and architecture,...
I agree with many things, Rob wrote in the comment. The most attractive to me is "SOA is not a distinct level of architecture- -it is a style". Or methodology....

Back in the early 90s people did say "I'm building an OO system" or even "implementing an OO Design". Now that OO is the "default" (even if most objects are...
... No, the Archbishop said "I want it big, I want it Gothic" ;) ... Which is exactly as it should be from a business perspective, if something is well built...
... Not sure about that as there are some elements that are clearly request/response (what is the price) and others which are clearly just submissions (here is...
... The Archbishop no doubt had divine help in using a term long before it came into use. ;) ... I don't disagree either. :-) It is "SOA" that gives me pause. ...
And there I was thinking that anything non-techy so bored certain members of this Group that their instinctive response was to search for their coat :) Gervas...
