Good news about SSDL
We received note from IEEE Internet Computing that our paper on SSDL was accepted for publication in the Jan/Feb 2006 issue on “Asynchronous Middleware and Services”. The reviews were very good and constructive. We’ll have to make few changes which will hopefully make the paper even easier to read but this should be easy. I…

Impressed with office communicator

Back from HPTS
Wow! Was that a workshop or what? That’s how all technology/research/science meetings should be. It must have been the best workshop/conference I’ve attended so far. What’s HPTS? It’s a group of scientists and industry people getting together and talking about stuff. HPTS likes databases, transaction processing, scalable systems, etc. However, those of us talking about Web…

At HPTS
Early in the morning I flew to San Francisco where I met Paul Watson, Mark Little, and Dan Kuo. We drove down to the Asilomar Conference Centre for the HPTS. It was a great drive. We took route 1 by the Pacific coast and we stopped at places on the way. This was the same route…

Blog disclaimer coming
One thing I was planning to do as soon as I joined Microsoft, but haven’t got the chance to do so until now, is to write a disclaimer about my blog posts from now on. I am posting the disclaimer next as a separate post so I can link it separately. UPDATE: Apologies, I decided…

The WS-* specifications
Great poster (via Stefan). Our industry WS-* leaders, and all of us (Web and Web Services advocates together), should have a good look at this poster and perhaps take a moment to reflect… where did all go wrong? Why are there specs doing the same thing in a slightly different way? Why some of the…
