Abstract This paper retrospectively outlines the progress of event-based capability over the last three decades. It further briefly elaborates the impact of this technology and how it has been adapted for a variety of domains and applications. Although research on event-based approaches started in a humble manner with the intention of introducing triggers in database management systems for monitoring application state and to automate applications by reducing/eliminating user intervention, currently it has become a force to reckon with as it finds use in many diverse domains. This is primarily due to the fact that a large number of real-world applications are indeed event-driven for which this paradigm is the most appropriate.
