I receive so much spam. My Outlook filter does not catch everything so I am used to permanently deleting them by pressing Shift+Del. It’s become such a routine that sometimes I accidentally delete non-spam messages and there is no way to get them back. I hate spam. It’s ok when …
Don Box talks about services and objects.
You can find it here (subscribed!).
/**/ Mark Baker discovered our work on the Web Services Grid Application Framework (WS-GAF) and he thinks it’s interesting. I am glad. We think our work from back in August was influential in all the recent changes in the Grid community world (i.e., making WS-RF Web Services-friendly and moving away …
/**/ Dare Obasanjo comments on a James Robertson’s post entitled “MS to Objects: ‘Drop Dead’”. Then James Robertson responded. I found these links from Mark Baker’s weblog where he provides his view on the above. I am sympathetic to Mark’s views despite the fact he sees things through a REST …
I just read part VII of Anders Hejlsberg’s interview at artima.com about C#. This part is about generics in C#. His explanation on how C# generics are different from Java’s and C++’s is very interesting. The links to the previous parts are also provided at the beginning of the article. …
/**/ Just returned from a UK e-Science event on the “The Future of Grid and Web Services” that Malcolm Atkinson organised. It was very interesting. Some 90 people where there. Steve Tuecke presented WS-RF and their motivation. Afterwards, I was invited to participate in a discussion panel from which interesting …
Few comments by Don Box but not great deal of detail.
Eric identifies the intended use of WS-RF and WS-Context as their main difference (addressing of state vs interaction state management). I agree that WS-Addressing + local-to-the-service information is a way to identify explicitly exposed resources. But then we have to ask… What was wrong with URNs, URLs, OASIS XDI, etc? …
After I posted my previous entry, I read Jeff Frey’s response to one of Mark Little’s messages. Jeff’s message confirms my last post’s assertion about the tight-coupling of a resource’s state, its identity, and an interface. According to Jeff, they wanted to provide a network-wide pointer to a resource. How …
My friend Jim from “down under” told me today over messenger that my blog is “more of a social diary than a blog”. So, here’s a thought on WS-RF with which I think he will agree… I think from now on the focus of the discussion is going to be …
In every city I visit, one of the first things I go to see is that city’s modern art museum. Due to other commitments, I only managed to visit San Francisco’s during my last day here. The “San Francisco Museum of Modern Art” is great. Really worth a visit. I …
As I mentioned few days ago, I had dinner with Mark Potts from HP last night. It was really nice to see Mark again and find out how well he is doing. He totally deserves it. I was also glad to see that we are on the same page regarding …
An interesting read.
Eric and Mark have been doing distributed computing for years. It’s great to see their comments (msg1, msg2, msg3) and I am glad that our views are the same as theirs. If people didn’t listen to our views, they may listen to Eric’s and Mark’s. It’s good to sit back …
I am still trying to assimilate all the information but people have already starting posting questions. It’s going to be fun.
