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 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 [...]

Advanced CORBA(R) Programming with C++ by Michi Henning, Steve Vinoski Average Customer Review: based on 30 reviews. Customer Review: This has to be one of the best CORBA books that I have read. It has helped me debug code and fix some really knotty problems. I found the exposition clear and easy to follow, and the index a useful tool. I don't think the authors intended it to be read cover-to-cover. If I am working on a CORBA project I alway like to have this book...
MICO: An Open Source CORBA Implementation (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Software Engineering and Programming) by Arno Puder, Kay Römer Average Customer Review: based on 4 reviews. Customer Review: This is the second time I've purchased the Mico book/cd by Puder and Romer. The book covers installation { I've tried all but the AIX without trouble }, has a brief over-view of CORBA concepts, and does a quick run through of how to use CORBA and MICO in specific. It then walks through more code and explanation with some of the 'core...
Pure Corba by Fintan Bolton Average Customer Review: based on 11 reviews. Customer Review: As a Sr. Java developer, I was looking for a good CORBA book with a Java slant. Until I found this one, I wasn't having much luck. Look no further. There are lots and lots of examples in Java (and C++). I've only read 100 pages, but so far, I really like this book. Money well spent.
Learning DCOM by Thuan L. Thai Average Customer Review: based on 15 reviews. Customer Review: This is a good book for C++ programmers wanting to learn com. This simplistic one language approach has made the book popular, since com is complicated enough without trying to briefly throw 3 programming languages at it. However, it will never be your only book on Com. Eventually you'll need to use your com objects from ASP or some...
DCOM Explained by ROSEMARY ROCK-EVANS independent consultant Average Customer Review: based on 2 reviews. Customer Review: I been a computer programmer for 15 years! Using Visual Basic for about 2 years. Found that this book gives high level overview of com and dcom. It is easy read and easy understand but, must have good computer background to follow it. If you want to know more about dcom you must buy this book !
