Improving Business Agility with EDA Going beyond SOA, enterprises
can gain even greater agility by implementing event-driven
architectures (EDAs) that automatically detect and react to
significant business events. However, EDA planning and deployment
is complex, and even experienced SOA architects and developers need
expert guidance. In Event-Driven Architecture, four leading IT
innovators present both the theory of EDA and practical,
step-by-step guidance to implementing it successfully. The authors
first establish a thorough and workable definition of EDA and
explore how EDA can help solve many of today's most difficult
business and IT challenges. You'll learn how EDAs work, what they
can do today, and what they might be able to do as they mature.
You'll learn how to determine whether an EDA approach makes sense
in your environment and how to overcome the difficult
interoperability and integration issues associated with successful
deployment. Finally, the authors present chapter-length case
studies demonstrating how both full and partial EDA implementations
can deliver exceptional business value. Coverage includes How SOA
and Web services can power event-driven architectures The role of
SOA infrastructure, governance, and security in EDA environments
EDA core components: event consumers and producers, message
backbones, Web service transport, and more EDA patterns, including
simple event processing, event stream processing, and complex event
processing Designing flexible stateless events that can respond to
unpredictable customers, suppliers, and business partners

Originally published in 1915, Government by Natural Selection looks
at the historical advancement of government through the lens of the
Darwinian theory of natural selection. The book examines the
history of government and its formation, right up until the early
20th century, when the book was first published. The book suggests
that there is a link between Darwinian theory and the development
of humans in societies, and that this in turn affected the
formation of government over the course of history. The book uses
not only Darwinian theory to examine history and the formation of
government, but philosophers from both antiquity and the 19th
century. This book provides a fascinating examination of politics
and history through the application of science, and will be of
interest to anthropologists, historians and academics of politics
alike.

Examining why the study of history as a science was not as advanced
as other disciplines, the author of this book, originally published
in 1933, examines the arguments in the controversy of what the
object of history should be. He then discusses the impact of the
study of history on government, war and revolution .

5G and related digital revolutions will require tens of thousands
of edge data centers. This book tells you how they work and how to
get them built.We are in the middle of the edge computing
revolution. Responding to demand for lower latency, telcos and
others are moving servers and storage closer to end users—away
from the "core" to "the edge." This requires the deployment of many
thousands of tiny edge data centers. The edge is a big, growing
business. Driven by 5G, connected vehicles, and industrial
automation, the "edge economy" is projected to reach $4.1 trillion
by 2030, with investment in edge data centers set to exceed $140
billion by 2028. What exactly is an edge data center? This book
explains what they are and how they work. It's early in the edge
computing life cycle, so there's time to get prepared for what's
coming. If you work in an industry that's transforming through
mobility, or any field that will leverage the edge for competitive
advantage, this book will help you understand how the edge data
center advances your strategic agenda.

Marketing technology products to business customers is a distinct
discipline. It doesn't resemble consumer-facing tech marketing at
all. It's not even the same as business-to-business (B2B) marketing
in general. B2B technology marketing requires a completely
different way of thinking about customers, products, and markets,
mostly because these factors are in a permanent state of flux. This
book takes a pragmatic, strategically informed view of B2B
technology marketing, exploring the essential responsibilities of
the B2B technology marketing executive, including: Lead generation
Filling the sales pipeline Strategic messaging Supporting the sales
team Communications and public relations Creating customer
preference Product marketing
