“SOAP is really just another RPC protocol” ???
I just read this opinion article on “Are Web Services the New CORBA?” (Via Mark) “SOAP is really just another RPC protocol”? How can a specification about how to process messages in a particular format without any request-response semantics, without…

One small step for WS-Addressing, one giant step towards MEST
(not towards REST Mark 🙂 One down, one to go 🙂 The MEST folks (well, the two of us) can be happier today. The REST camp seems happy too. So, Reference Properties are no more. Hurray!!! Despite what Mark supports,…

The one where I propose that the WS-Addressing TC considers the removal of Reference Props/Params
It has been suggested in the WS-Addressing WG, as a proposal for the resolution of issue #i001, that the Endpoint Reference (EPR) Reference Properties/Parameters contain the interaction data rather than being part of an identity. I agree about the identity…

The roles of services in service-orientated applications
I am back in Newcastle. The CoreGRID WP3 meeting in Pisa was not what I was expecting but the workshop in Crete turned out relatively ok (for the first in a series that is). There were a couple of interesting…

Capturing a service conversation using Cw
Jim‘s post got me thinking… Wouldn’t it be nice to have Cw code generated automatically that captures the semantics of a Web Service contract? Please note that I am not talking about just converting WSDL to WebMethods and C#. We…

Reviewing papers for workshops, conferences, journals
Phew! I just finished reviewing 9 papers for the CCGrid 2005 conference. I got a good balance of interesting and “not-so-interesting” (to put it politely) papers. I spent a lot of hours over the last few days reviewing these papers…

Busy with ??? and the WWW2005 tutorial
Just a quick post to say that I haven’t been blogging the last few days because I’ve been busy writing .NET/WSE code and XML documents. I am not ready to report on what Jim and I have been doing but…

An updated view of the current state of the 3D Star Browser in Avalon
Chris Sells referred to my early screenshots (post 1, post 2) and commented on the way the stars were lined up 🙂 There is a good reason the stars look like that in those screenshots. I was using the personal version of…

Microsoft and distributed, high-performance computing
