This book provides an in-depth description of event-based systems, covering topics ranging from local event matching and distributed event forwarding algorithms, through a practical discussion of software engineering issues raised by the event-based style, to state-of-the-art research in event-based systems like composite event detection and security. The authors offer a comprehensive overview, and show the power of event-based architectures in modern system design, encouraging professionals to exploit this technique in next generation large-scale distributed applications like information dissemination, network monitoring, enterprise application integration, or mobile systems.

Editorial Reviews
Review
From the reviews: "The book provides the reader with both formal treatment and practical discussion of issues raised by the event-based style. … By its content, the book addressees the software development theorists and practitioners alike, especially those interested in large-scale distributed application design and implementation. It is largely self-contained and the exposition is meticulous and rigorous. Altogether, this book is a great enrichment to the existing texts on the subject, and it deserves a wide audience." (Tudor Balanescu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1116 (18), 2007) "This book is an overview of the key theory and concepts around the event systems used by loosely coupled distributed applications. … Overall, I think the book’s coverage of theory and specification is strong. It provides a good framework for understanding the theoretical foundations of event-based systems." (W. Hu, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (5), 2008)

Throrough, but not a light read,

This review is from: Distributed Event-Based Systems (Hardcover)
Caveat: I have not finished reading yet, but since no one has posted yet, wanted to share my impressions so far.
Springer has made a name for itself with books that appeal to both academics and professionals with a little academic edge. This book is no exception. It provides a very precise and thorough treatment of event-driven systems. If you are afraid of Greek letters this is probably not for you - Chapter 2 "Basics" uses temporal logic to define the precise semantics of event-based systems. On the other hand you gain in-depth insights into some of the design challenges and options when implementing your own event-driven system.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent read, well balanced material, very close to the current state of the art technologies,
This review is from: Distributed Event-Based Systems (Hardcover)
I found this book an excellent read, with very good balance between theory and technical information -unlike what the previous reviewer thinks- (by technical information I m not implying source code, but rather systems design exploration). I ve gone though almost all of it and I was only a bit confused in a couple of parts (and when I contacted the authors they were very helpful to give me clarifications). The only reason I m not giving it 5 stars is because I am not an expert in the field

This review is from: Distributed Event-Based Systems (Hardcover)
I think it is a good read. I had to refresh some math to better understand the presented material, but it was interesting. It is theoretical and far from practice, but was what I was looking for in the book so I am satisfifed. I enjoyed the objective view i which the material was presented.
