I haven’t had proper holidays for a long long time. So, Wednesday I am going back to Greece to visit my family and travel a bit around to see friends in various cities. It may be a while after this visit until I get the opportunity to do this again. …
Coactus consultancy! Mark, perhaps a section on MEST and Web Services? :-)
/**/ Ever since we published our WS-GAF white paper criticizing OGSI, its object-oriented nature and how it (ab)used existing technologies (XML Schema and WSDL), there has been a lot of discussion in the Grid community about WS-I. You see, we’ve always advocated for Grid solutions to be built on stable, …
/**/ Old readers of my blog will know that I have been experimenting with Avalon by building a 3D star browser using the Sload Digitial Sky Survey data. I have ported the previous version of the StarBrowser to the Avalon March 2005 CTP but my laptop’s hardware cannot really cope so …
This may be an album I may buy. I just happen to like the name of the group :-)
The discussion on REST/WS is still very much alive. There is an interesting thread of comments in Steve Vinoski’s “WS references” post. Note the references to “ProcessThis”. I wouldn’t have made the link between “ProcessMessage/This” with protocol handlers or interceptors in the same way that REST doesn’t link the transfer …
The discussion on MEST started again thanks to a recent entry by Jim. Mark makes some valid observations in his comment to Jim’s entry. I would like to clarify a couple of things: MEST is an architectural style and as such it is not tightly associated to SOAP. The relationship …
This seems like it’s going to be a very interesting workshop taking place in conjunction with the 9th International IEEE Enterprise Distributed Object Computing Conference. Put those fingers on the keyboard and start typing :-) The call for papers.
Thanks to those of you who registered for our WWW2005 tutorial. Unfortunately the attendance numbers for the conference seem to be quite low and, as a result, many tutorials (ours included) have been cancelled :-( Sorry guys. I was looking forward to this event. Mark, I guess we’ll have to …
/**/ The following SSDL-related documents are now available in the University of Newcastle upon Tyne Computing Science Technical Reports series: CS-TR-898: An Introduction to the SOAP Service Description Language (PDF) CS-TR-899: The SOAP Service Description Language (SSDL) (PDF) CS-TR-900: MEP SSDL Protocol Framework (PDF) CS-TR-901: CSP SSDL Protocol Framework (PDF) CS-TR-902: Rules-based …
/**/ I had a couple of hours available while travelling by train to London the other day, so I decided to play with Indigo’s message logging facility. Indigo does a great job of logging in/out SOAP messages to/from services. Check the TracingAndLogging sample that comes with the WinFX SDK March …
/**/ In my “Indigo adventures” post I showed how one could write a new channel which can be used to implement a WS-* protocol. After watching the Indigo SDR content, I still think this to be the recommended way of implementing an infrastructure protocol (even though I am still not …
All the content from the last Indigo Software Design Review (SDR) is now available online. I wish I knew about this before getting inside Indigo on my own. But then again, I wouldn’t have had the fun of finding problems that needed solving :-) I am starting to go through …
/**/ Those interested in Indigo would have probably seen by now the many introductory posts on how to write services, use bindings, use output/input channels, service/message/data contracts, etc. The Indigo community is doing a fantastic job to provide examples of how to use Microsoft’s new technology for distributed computing. As …
Hurray! Managed to get tickets for this year’s Glastonbury. I am sooo looking forward to it.
