This is an interesting proposal. As Stefan (needs to sort out main page) says, WS-Eventing allows the use of any dialect for filters, so why not RDF? (Disappointed that my implementation efforts are not listed :-) (just joking of course). Read more [...]
In addition to defining addressing-related information headers for SOAP messages, WS-Addressing introduces the concept of an EndpointReference (EPR) which is used as the means of capturing the addressing-related information of a service endpoint. I don’t see why an EPR couldn’t be of the form: <wsa:ReplyTo> <!- Protocol-specific addresses -> <wsa:Address>http://service.com/myservice</wsa:Address> …
/**/ “To our knowledge, most of the data-intensive applications that run on the Grid today focus on moving hundreds of thousands of files from the storage archives to the thousands of computing nodes.” [1] The above quote is from [1] which is written by the team that has given us …
Hurray! Jim and I submitted a proposal for a tutorial on “Architecting and Developing Message-Oriented Web Services” for the 14th Internal World Wide Web Conference (WWW2005) and we have just found out that it got accepted. This is going to be a lot of fun. We have some really great …
I saw this submission/proposal by Globus over at aparche.org. The Globus Alliance is proposing the creation of an Apache subproject for Grid computing with the Globus Toolkit as the basis. My first feeling was that this could be a good development for the Grid community but then I thought about …
In one of the WinFX CTP articles it is noted that only the Luna/NormalColor theme is supported. In order to work with the other WindowsXP themes, there is a workaround. I just discovered that this workaround works with different themes too. On my laptop I have the Royale theme installed …
Many are linking to the “WSDL 2: Just Say No” article by Rich Salz. Huge agreement!
If you’ve never understood my explanation of what WS-Context (part of WS-CAF) is all about, here’s a short description from Mark.
I disagree with Dave’s conclusions in his discussion on Web Services vs Distributed Objects. I have explained in my analysis of the differences between the HTTP verbs, remote method invocations, and message-orientation why I think there is a difference between service-, resource-, and object-orientation (Building blocks of architectural paradigms).

Aaron Skonnard posted his WSE 3.0 wish list. I meant to add to his list more than a week ago but didn’t get the chance. I will agree with Aaron’s and other people’s requests and I would like to add one of my own… Currently, if you change the addressing …
Yupeeeeee!!! Last week I installed the WinHEC 2004 build of Longhorn (Client Preview 2) on a Virtual PC because I wanted to start playing with Avalon and Indigo again. The 1GB of memory on my laptop and the number of applications I usually run make life difficult performance-wise but today …
I had a fun morning reading some of the stuff around the web and close to home (Newcastle) but only now I got the chance to blog about them. By far the most important message to report was Jim Gray’s views at the WS-GAF mailing list which confirmed our suggestions …
Unfortunately Arvindra Sehmi couldn’t make it to the meeting. I was looking forward to meeting him and talking about FABRIQ. This also means that we are minus one talk for today so I have been asked to talk for more. They have a “speakers’ quite room” here :-). So I …
It was about time. Mark Little is blogging (subscribed). Expect great stuff here. Mark is Mr. Transactions guy and only few others around the world have his knowledge on CORBA. He was my manager during my HP Arjuna Labs days when we developed the first transactions system for Web Services. …
I arrived today in Prague. Really beautiful city. I am here for the Microsoft Academic Days 2004 for Central and Eastern Europe. I was invited my Microsoft to talk about our work in Newcastle on Internet-scale computing (a.k.a. Grid). There are about 250 delegates here. I noticed today that the …
Microsoft Research is funding a fellowship at the University of Cambridge in the area of e-Science. Here’s the official announcement. I think this is a great opportunity for a young researcher to pursue her/his interests in the area. Few years ago I would have applied for this without thinking twice …
