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...
Client/Server Programming with Java and CORBA, 2nd Edition by Dan Harkey, Robert Orfali Average Customer Review: based on 56 reviews. Customer Review: An exceptionally well-written book by best-selling authors. The book is a great way to learn about Client/Server programming in general, and CORBA in particular. This book is massive, totaling over 1000 pages (a huge increase over the first edition). It includes a CDROM with all of the code examples as well Borland's Vivibroker and ...
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.
Object-Oriented Frameworks Using C++ and CORBA Gold Book: The Must-have Guide to CORBA for Developers and Programmers by Vishwajit Aklecha Average Customer Review: based on 11 reviews. Customer Review: Deals with concepts of OOP and introduces the OO framework and then object model for CORBA. It is deals more with the concepts behind the code rather than give you code samples to cut and paste. Many of the programming concepts are intuitive if you know where you are and where you want to go. This book gives you an idea about the st...
The CORBA Reference Guide: Understanding the Common Object Request Broker Architecture by Alan Pope Average Customer Review: based on 3 reviews. Customer Review: This is a good book for those who understand client/server or OO programming, but who haven't had exposure to CORBA. The book doesn't give enough depth to serve as a developer's reference guide. But, if you want a solid understanding of all aspects of CORBA without having to read through a 3-inch thick book, this is the book to pick.
