Hi Jaroslav, There is currently some work going on in the Core Platform Expert Group in relation to representing framework information in Data Transfer Objects (which would be trivial to serialize), I guess this could also relate to events. This work is done in RFC 185.
Additionally the EEG is considering to work on a Distributed Event Admin Service. This work hasn't started yet, but expect an RFP in the not too distant future.
