You might have seen the recent news reports about the collision between U.S. and Russian communication satellites. The U.S. satellite was one of the Iridium satellites. What wasn’t reported and you probably don’t know is that an object database management system (ODBMS) is an important part of the Iridium system. Even though ODBMSs are a [...]

I am now also posting on the Cutter Blog. My initial posting is (The Acronym) SOA is (Perhaps) Dead (at Some Companies); Long Live Services. It is a response to Anne Thomas Manes’ SOA is Dead; Long Live Services on her blog at the Burton Group.

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 [...]

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 [...]

There are three JDO identity models to allow for different underlying database
management systems (DBMSs). The type of JDO identity used is a property of a JDO PersistenceCapable class.
The JDO identity models are:
Application (primary key) identity. This is the JDO identity type used for data stores in which the
value(s) in the instance
determine the identity of the object in the data store. (This is commonly
used in relational DBMSs)
Data store identity. This is the JDO identity type used for data stores in which the identity of the data in the
data store does not depend on the values in the instance. The implementation guarantees
uniqueness for all instances. (This is commonly used in object DBMSs.)
Non-data store JDO identity. The primary usage for non-data store JDO identity is for log files, history files, and other
similar files, where performance is a primary concern.
A JDO implementation is required to support either application (primary key) identity or
datastore identity, and may optionally support non-datastore identity.

Object-oriented Data Structures Using Java by Nell B. Dale Average Customer Review: based on 6 reviews. Customer Review: This seller was very punctual with the shipping and delivery of the book and it was in very good condition like the ad had stipulated. I will recomment him to anyone ST
Data Structures and Other Objects Using Java (3rd Edition) by Michael Main Average Customer Review: based on 17 reviews. Customer Review: Even after taking a mid-level CS course where this book was the required text, this book still sits on my bookshelf at work for reference. Why? Well, certainly it is not the most comprehensive book of data structures in existence, nor is it written with a scholarly tone. But, that's the point! Michael Main's writing has the air of a...
Objects, Abstraction, Data Structures and Design: Using Java version 5.0 by Elliot B. Koffman, Paul A. T. Wolfgang Average Customer Review: based on 5 reviews. Customer Review: A reader wrote that, "this book fails to address concurrency issues". But the books title never commits this. It's about teaching data-structures using Java (correctly). And it exactly does this with great success. Although I read it to refresh my knowledge, I enjoyed a lot as I learn the subject first time. It's CS for beginners, bu...
