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.

Recent Business Process Modeling Books

The not so good book is Business Process Driven SOA using BPMN and BPEL by Matjaz B. Juric and Kapil Pant. There are [...]

Customer Review: A good one-stop-shop guide and toolsets for getting your enterprise architecture right.
