Capturing a service conversation using Cw
Jim‘s post got me thinking… Wouldn’t it be nice to have Cw code generated automatically that captures the semantics of a Web Service contract? Please note that I am not talking about just converting WSDL to WebMethods and C#. We have something else in mind… We want to capture entire conversations and help the programmer…

Reviewing papers for workshops, conferences, journals
Phew! I just finished reviewing 9 papers for the CCGrid 2005 conference. I got a good balance of interesting and “not-so-interesting” (to put it politely) papers. I spent a lot of hours over the last few days reviewing these papers (I am of the opinion that authors deserve thorough reviews because that’s what I expect…

Busy with ??? and the WWW2005 tutorial
Just a quick post to say that I haven’t been blogging the last few days because I’ve been busy writing .NET/WSE code and XML documents. I am not ready to report on what Jim and I have been doing but we have both given some hints 🙂 (post 1, post 2) It’s going to be…

An updated view of the current state of the 3D Star Browser in Avalon

Microsoft and distributed, high-performance computing
This article mentions Microsoft‘s unannounced efforts for “grid” computing. This sounds extremely interesting. I can’t wait to see more information about this. One of the things I want to concentrate as part of my research, now that WS-GAF is almost finished (White Dwarfs, CHEERS info soon), is the use of the .NET platform and Indigo…

A BackgroundWorker for Avalon
I saw a post at the winfx.avalon newsgroup about the lack of support for a BackgroundWorker in Avalon (at least for v1.0). Since I need something like this for calling the Web Services asynchronously and then updating the Graphical User Interface, I just created a very simple one. public class BackgroundWorker { private UIContext…

3D Star Browser in Avalon (continued)
The experiments with Avalon and the Galaxy visualisation continue. Here’s a screenshot of ~78000 objects loaded into Avalon . The gold stars are the ~5000 of the personal version of SSA while the ~73000 are the stars from the personal version of the SDSS (MySkyServer). Waiting from Bob Mann (a great guy and the astronomer who…
