Definitions

An event driven architecture is a software architecture for applications that detect and respond to events. An event is a significant change in the state of a system or its environment. The change may occur rapidly or slowly. The occurrence of an event in the past, or its current unfolding, or a prediction of an event in the future is deduced from data. An event-driven architecture includes sensors and other sources of data; processors that fuse data from multiple sensors and detect patterns over time, geographical locations, and other attributes and deduce events that occurred or predict events; responders for initiating actions in response to events; communication links for transferring information between components; and administrative software for monitoring,...
