Mark Baker refers to our WS-GAF document
Mark Baker discovered our work on the Web Services Grid Application Framework (WS-GAF) and he thinks it’s interesting. I am glad. We think our work from back in August was influential in all the recent changes in the Grid community world (i.e., making WS-RF Web Services-friendly and moving away from OGSI) although no one mentioned…

Dare Obasanjo on “Service Oriented Architectures vs. Distributed Object Technologies”
Dare Obasanjo comments on a James Robertson’s post entitled “MS to Objects: ‘Drop Dead’”. Then James Robertson responded. I found these links from Mark Baker’s weblog where he provides his view on the above. I am sympathetic to Mark’s views despite the fact he sees things through a REST perspective. I agree with Dare’s comments.…

Anders Hejlsberg about C#
I just read part VII of Anders Hejlsberg’s interview at artima.com about C#. This part is about generics in C#. His explanation on how C# generics are different from Java’s and C++’s is very interesting. The links to the previous parts are also provided at the beginning of the article. I only use C# these…

“The Future of Grid and Web Services” and a chat with Steve Tuecke

Steve Tuecke presented WS-RF and their motivation. Afterwards, I was invited to participate in a discussion panel from which interesting comments were made. The panellists: Tony…

Eric Newcomer on WS-RF again
Eric identifies the intended use of WS-RF and WS-Context as their main difference (addressing of state vs interaction state management). I agree that WS-Addressing + local-to-the-service information is a way to identify explicitly exposed resources. But then we have to ask… What was wrong with URNs, URLs, OASIS XDI, etc? Why yet another way? Is…

Related to my last post
After I posted my previous entry, I read Jeff Frey’s response to one of Mark Little’s messages. Jeff’s message confirms my last post’s assertion about the tight-coupling of a resource’s state, its identity, and an interface. According to Jeff, they wanted to provide a network-wide pointer to a resource. How is this different from a…

A brief thought on WS-RF
My friend Jim from “down under” told me today over messenger that my blog is “more of a social diary than a blog”. So, here’s a thought on WS-RF with which I think he will agree… I think from now on the focus of the discussion is going to be on the conceptual model. WS-RF…

SFMOMA
In every city I visit, one of the first things I go to see is that city’s modern art museum. Due to other commitments, I only managed to visit San Francisco’s during my last day here. The “San Francisco Museum of Modern Art” is great. Really worth a visit. I really liked a montage by…
