Iridium Satellite Collision in Space
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 [...]

(The Acronym) SOA is (Perhaps) Dead (at Some Companies); Long Live Services
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.

Atomicity
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 [...]

Well-Formed Business Process Diagrams
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 [...]

Recent Business Process Modeling Books
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 [...]

The Web Services Component Model (WSCM) is an XML and Web Services centric component model for interactive Web applications. The aims of the WSCM Technical Committee within OASIS are to

  1. Create an XML and Web Services centric component model for interactive web applications. The designs must achieve two main goals: enable businesses to distribute web applications through multiple revenue channels, and enable new services or applications to be created by leveraging existing applications across the Web.
  2. To harmonize WSCM as far as practical with existing Web application programming models (e.g. Portals, Macromedia Flash, etc.), with the work of the W3C (e.g.XForms, DOM, XML Events, XPath, XLink, XML Component API task force), emerging web services standards (e.g. SOAP, WSDL, WSFL), and with the work of other appropriate business information bodies.
  3. Ensure that WSCM applications can be deployed on any tier on the network and remain target device and output markup neutral.
  4. Ultimately, to promote WSCM to the status of an international standard for the conduct of XML and Web Services based web application development, deployment and management.

Note: Members of the OASIS Web Services Component Model (WSCM) Technical Committee voted to change the group's name to the OASIS Web Services for Interactive Applications (WSIA) Technical Committee, in order to better describe the purpose of their work.
