MEST on hold until our rejected paper is re-written/expanded
There are two reasons why I have stopped trying to defend MEST after this week’s many excellent discussions and great comments in the blogosphere (many thanks to all): Until we have something on paper, as Chris suggested (thanks for the…

The MEST saga continues 🙂
In his comment to my “Explaining MEST” post Brian Glaser supported pub/sub systems in favour of MEST. Chris Ferris does the same in his “MEST-Up” 🙂 post and promotes such an event-based architecture for implementing loosely-coupled systems. As Jacek correctly…

MTOM, XOP, RRSHB
There are many reports about the blogosphere about the move to W3C recommendation status of the MTOM, XOP, and RRSHB specs. Well done to all those involved.

I absolutely agree…

Steve on Reference Properties
Great discussion (“EPR’s, RefP’s, and MSDN2”) from Steve on Reference Properties. I get the feeling that Steve is forgetting the opaqueness of RefProps and RefParams. It’s not the case that one could just safely put any value in the <version>…

Excellent intro to Cw
“An overview of Cw” by Dave Obasanjo is an excellent introduction to those features of Cw that relate to the processing of relational and semi-structured data. Cw‘s concurrency related features are not covered. A great read! I can’t wait for…

Help with Sahana
