The typical definition of an atomic task or process is one that cannot be decomposed further. This is vague and subject to interpretation. The Decomposition Matrix on this site uses a specific definition: A task (for business process diagrams) or a process (for data flow diagrams) is atomic if every input relates to every output [...]

My last posting referenced the criteria for a well-formed business process diagram mentioned in Business Process Driven SOA using BPMN and BPEL by Matjaz B. Juric and Kapil Pant. I am going to expand on their criteria to create a more comprehensive definition of a well-formed business process diagram.
To start, here are three criteria from [...]

I recently received two new books on business process modeling. Both books looked interesting because they had great titles. As it turns out, one book is great and the other not so good.
The not so good book is Business Process Driven SOA using BPMN and BPEL by Matjaz B. Juric and Kapil Pant. There are [...]

The Design Decomposition Blog is written by Doug Barry.
An application server (or app server) is a component-based product that resides in the
middle-tier of a server centric architecture. It
provides middleware services for security, state maintenance, along with data
access and persistence. These articles provide a
background on application server products and their use. The emphasis in these
articles is on using databases for the persistence
service layer of Java™ 2 Platform, Enterprise
Edition (J2EE™) compliant products.
New articles will be added regularly. If you would like to be notified when
new articles are available, add your name to our mail
list.

There are nearly 400 pages of articles on this site with over 20 pages on application servers.

JBoss in Action: Configuring the JBoss Application Server by Javid Jamae, Peter Johnson Average Customer Review: based on 4 reviews. Customer Review: I bought this book about 6 months ago to prepare for a projected move to the JBoss AS from Websphere. As with most technical books I read as much as I needed for the tasks at hand. My project seems to be cancelled, so I may not go back to this book, but I'd like to leave this review. I believe this is the only book targeted at JBoss ...
WebSphere Application Server Administration Using Jython by Robert A. Gibson, Arthur Kevin McGrath, Noel J. Bergman Average Customer Review: based on 3 reviews. Customer Review: I was introduced to this book during a Jython class taught by Keven McGrath. He kept referring to the book in the classroom, and bringing up sample pages for examples. I was favorably impressed during the class, and even more so when the book finally arrived. They take a very important subset of Jython code for WebSphere and give con...
Internetworking with TCP/IP, Vol. III: Client-Server Programming and Applications, Linux/Posix Sockets Version by Douglas E. Comer, David L. Stevens Average Customer Review: based on 2 reviews.

Compared with Steven's Unix Network Programming, this book is more simply and clearly written. Not like Steven who is an expert in explaining details, Comer is good at giving a sound explanation of the network programming pr...

Seemed to be a longer read than the Sybex books (although didn't use the Sybex book for this exam so I can't say how it would compare). Text was well written and easy to understand. It was written for a newbie to network admin role. I was up...
