Challenge accepted 🙂
Mark Baker challenges those of us who believe that a sensible architecture can be designed without depending on a particular (transport/transfer/network) protocol. In fact, Jim and I are doing exactly that in our next paper which is going to have the more thorough description of MEST. More soon!

The MEST architectural style
MEST is for service-orientation and Web Services what REST is for resource-orientation and the Web. The above quote is taken from the paper that Jim and I have just completed. We decided to finally write down our ideas on ProcessMessage, service-orientation, and Web Services. The paper was submitted to a conference so we won’t know…

MS and HPC
I hadn’t noticed that the Microsoft HPC site went live. Cool stuff for doing distributed, high-performance computing on the Microsoft platform. Very cool. I actually submitted my CV for one of the HPC posts when the team was forming few months ago but never heard from Microsoft 🙁

.NET Service Logic Caching using WSE
While discussing the production service logic deployment I mentioned in my previous post, I thought that it’d be nice to apply the idea of dynamic service logic deployment for caching purposes. That is, not caching of SOAP documents but of the service logic. This could be useful in mobile computing scenarios where an application that…

Dynamic service deployment @ Newcastle
In the last month or so we have started an effort here in Newcastle at NEReSC to build and deploy a production service for our application scientists. We want to utilise all the computational resources around the campus and eventually integrate our infrastructure with the UK National Grid. Of course that’s the ultimate step. For…

WS-Addressing discussions
Great stuff over at the W3CWS-Addressingmailing list. You should definitely follow the discussion there.

v2.0 of the “An Introduction to the Web Services Architecture and Its Specifications”
Just saw that v2.0 of Microsoft‘s WS architecture document was released. Haven’t read it yet.

Channel and Pipeline ordering in WSE
I’ve spent few days trying to figure out why when I change the WS-Addressing information of an outgoing SOAP message from an output WSE filter, the changes are not picked up by the underlying SOAP transport used. Well, after lots of experimentation and an IM discussion with John Bristowe who gave me some good pointers…

Mark Potts!
Cool. I just got a referral from Mark Potts‘ first entry from his brand new blog (subscribed of course). I met Mark during my HP days when I was trying to get my head around the work on transactions in the Web Services space, as part of the OASIS BTP TC. Mr. TalkingBlocks is now…
