I can’t wait for Indigo
Don Box just posted an introduction to Service Contracts in Indigo. This is sooo very close to our latest WSE 2.0-based work that it’ll be extremely easy to port our tools to Indigo when it’s released. I really like the MessageContract stuff and the fact that you can define typed messages and also specify the…

Tim Ewald on MEST
Tim has some comments on MEST. While I said that I am not going to try and describe MEST again until we have a paper written, I think I need to make a clarification (some more details can be found as a comment on Tim‘s post). As I’ve said previously, MEST is not proposing something…

Indigo
Indigo information is starting to appear. Here’s an article-introduction to Indigo on MSDN by David Chappell, a “Hello world” post by Clemens Vasters, Christian is threatening to say more (can’t wait:-), Steve is going over the same argument of OO using angle brackets (keep it up Steve, I am with you), and a keynote from…

MEST on hold until our rejected paper is re-written/expanded
There are two reasons why I have stopped trying to defend MEST after this week’s many excellent discussions and great comments in the blogosphere (many thanks to all): Until we have something on paper, as Chris suggested (thanks for the offer btw to give feedback; we’ll take up on it soon :-), the discussion will…

The MEST saga continues 🙂
In his comment to my “Explaining MEST” post Brian Glaser supported pub/sub systems in favour of MEST. Chris Ferris does the same in his “MEST-Up” 🙂 post and promotes such an event-based architecture for implementing loosely-coupled systems. As Jacek correctly points out, pub/sub is a particular pattern that needs to be implemented somehow. MEST defines…

“Interesting and useful MEPs”
There has been more reaction on the ongoing discussion I mentioned in my last entry. Gudge is preparing a reply and Chris has some very interesting comments. However, I am choosing to highlight the following paragraph from Chris‘ entry for a different reason… “The message exchange pattern (MEP) is just that; a pattern. The fact that…

Explaining MEST
Steve in his “Gudge, Mark, app protocols, and transport independence” post continues the very interesting discussion with Mark and Gudge. Mark mentioned MEST in his “Gudge responds to the wsa:To issue” post and so Steve asks for clarification on what MEST is all about. So, here it goes… I have to start by saying that…

MEST paper rejected 🙁
Our first attempt for a MEST paper was rejected. This is not very bad since we got some useful feedback and really encouraging comments from the two out of three referees, who also suggested that the paper be accepted. The third reviewer not only rejected the paper but did not even give us any useful…

MTOM, XOP, RRSHB
There are many reports about the blogosphere about the move to W3C recommendation status of the MTOM, XOP, and RRSHB specs. Well done to all those involved.
