One set of design patterns that has gained traction in the industry is Hohpe and Woolf's Enterprise Integration Patterns. These patterns include a technology-agnostic vocabulary for describing large-scale integration solutions. Rather than focusing on the low-level programming, they take a top-down approach to developing an asynchronous, message-based architecture.
