After my previous post about WS-Eventing I was contacted by John Bristowe (subscribed) who told me about his Gotdotnet project, called “Plumbwork Orange”, “…a workspace dedicated to bringing some WS-* implementations into the WSE fold.” as John explains in this…

Just as I started recovering from my jetlag…
… I am off travelling again so posts may be infrequent for the next 10 days. Tomorrow I am off to Heidelberg, Germany, for Sun’s HPC Consortium meeting where I am giving an invited talk. I’ve been to Heidelberg twice…

Geek jokes
Computer jokes thread (link from this post from Chris Sell’s blog). And there are some more here. Like Chris, I particularly liked this one. Two strings walk into a bar. The first one says, “Bartender! Bartender! I want a drink!”…

Having fun with WS-Eventing
Jim and I are working on a new application that will combine Web Services and RFID technologies. One of the things that we need is events, so we decided to have a look at WS-Eventing. While on the plane back…

Back from Hawaii
Back from Hawaii and seriously jetlagged. Jim has a nice wrap-up of what happened during GGF11. I think that this GGF meeting was the “quietest” I’ve been. People seem willing to move on beyond the “infrastructure arguments”, adopt WS-RF as…

Mapping DAIS concepts on WS-I, WS-Context, WS-RF
Few months ago Simon Laws (IBM UK), Sastry Malladi (Oracle), and I started an effort to write a GGF informational document about how several of the concepts defined by GGF‘s Data Access and Integration (DAIS) working group could be mapped…

Does doc/literal guarantee loose coupling?
Eric Newcomer writes about the use of doc/literal when building WS applications. He supports the idea of document exchange to achieve platform integration. Of course, I agree with Eric since this is exactly what Jim and I have been advocating…

Proposal to remove WS-RF dependency from WS-Notification
Since the WS-RF and WS-Notification OASIS TCs were formed, I’ve been reading negative comments by other people about WS-RF’s conceptual model. At last I feel that Jim and I are not lone voices. This is a post by David Hull…

One of those Internet moments
