首先，还是wiki：http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event-driven_architecture
这篇wiki很清楚的介绍了Event-driven architecture的概念和相关知识。提到了所谓的“松耦合”的软件架构和SOA。
文中重点描述了event-driven的架构层次和三种Event Processing Styles，
层次包括了四层：
1. Event generator. 就是产生event的终端或者sensor。将所要表述的信息封装成一个event，其中，如何采用一个合理的format使得event的可读性非常好是一个问题。
2. Event channel. 主要就是event的传输机制。可能是TCP/IP，或者是XML格式等等。一般来说，“because the event processing engine has to process them in near real time, the event channels will be read asynchronously. The events are stored in a queue, waiting to be processed later by the event processing engine.”。
3. Event processing engine. 用来辨识event，并采取合理的reaction。
4. downstream activity. 很多时候，engine只是触发合理的reaction，而真正的动作是在这里完成的。所以，这一步并不是必须的。
三种Styles：
1. Simple event processing. 普通的架构。在这里，所有的event都是notable的，都应该做出reaction。
2. Event stream processing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_Stream_Processing
基于event流的架构。
在这个架构中，event generator产生持续的event，这些event既有notable的，但更多的是ordinary，这就需要EPE能够对event进行过滤和识别。”Stream event processing is commonly used to drive the real-time flow of information in and around the enterprise, which enables in-time decision making.”
3. Complex event processing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_event_processing_(CEP)
复杂event的处理架构。
在这种架构中，存在着大量的simple event，这些event之间有着各种联系。CEP系统要求能够发现这些联系，从simple events中提取出复杂的event。
文中举了个例子。例如，如果有简单的event，包括“男的穿了燕尾服”，“女的穿婚纱”，“地点在教堂”，那么我们就能够提取出复杂的event“wedding”。
我个人观点，Styles中2和3并不是一个互斥的关系。相反，它们其实是可以结合的。2重点强调的是实时的decision，3强调的则是对复杂事情的处理。

离开wiki，让我们来看点文章。
《Event-Dirven Architecture Overview》中不仅提到了上面的4个层次和三种styles，而且还谈到了一个EDA需要的5种组件：

Event Metadata：事件元数据包括事件说明和事件处理规则；
Event Processing：事件处理的核心是引擎和事件发生数据；
Event Tooling：事件开发工具用于定义事件说明和事件规则，以及管理订阅等。事件管理工具提供事件处理基础架构的管理和监测，事件流的监测以及显示事件生成和处理状态等；
Event Integration：一个企业集成中枢在事件驱动架构中扮演着重要的角色。需要集成的一些服务包括：事件预处理（过滤、路由和转变等）、事件通道传输、服务调用、业务流程调用、发布和订阅，以及企业信息访问等；
Sources and Targets：创建事件和/或执行一个事件驱动动作的企业资源（应用、服务、业务流程、数据存储、人员和自动代理等）。

此外，InfoQ上的两篇文章《Gartner论述平台中间件中的分裂趋势》和《关于复杂事件处理和事件驱动架构的争论》对于CEP和EDA进行了一些探讨，其中的一句话我尤其赞同：
“我不认同那些努力传播SOA的同学们所说的“EDA只是SOA的一个子集”的论断。一个更广泛的事件驱动架构概念，不仅是超越事件驱动SOA的，还应该包括实时信息流和分析，以及复杂事件处理。”
现在大多数人（包括很多专家）都是从SOA的角度来看待EDA，将它当作是SOA的升级版或者是补充，但EDA会有更加广阔的前景。
