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 to different Web Services technologies.

An attempt to move on from “processThis”
The “processThis” idea that Jim and I have been discussing for some time now has won us a place in Mark Baker‘s progress highlights for Web Services. Like Jim, I too am flattered. This is really significant coming from someone like Mark whose opinion and ideas, as he already knows, I really value. We’ve been…

Jim Webber, Mark Little, and I wrote an article on modelling stateful interactions in Web Services as soon as WS-RF was released. The article is now published in the May edition of the Web Services Journal. Happy reading. As always, we are interested in your comments.
