Oracle on Monday is again promoting the concept of SOA 2.0, with the release of Oracle Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) Suite, featuring Oracle Fusion Middleware products.

The middleware offerings allow customers to identify, analyze and respond to business events in real-time. EDA is a key component of SOA 2.0 which, according to Oracle, is the next-generation of SOA that defines how events and services are linked together to deliver a responsive and flexible IT infrastructure.

Featured in the suite are:

* Oracle Enterprise Messaging, to deliver event messages.

* Oracle Enterprise Service Bus, to collect and distribute events.

* Oracle Business Rules, for defining business policies on events.

* Oracle Business Activity Monitoring, to monitor and analyze events.

* Oracle Sensor Edge Server, supporting RFID and managing events from physical sensors and automation equipment.

Oracle pitched the concept of SOA 2.0 at the JavaOne conference in San Francisco in May. The analysis firm, Gartner, also is promoting it.

Not everyone is enthralled with the creation of the concept, SOA 2.0. An online petition against it is even in circulation.
