This column started in the C++ Report magazine, and then later moved over to CUJ. In all, the column lasted from 1995-2005, which is a long time for such a focused magazine column. The CORBA Component Model, Part 4: Implementing Components With CCM . Our previous columns presented the design of our stock quoter example using the CORBA Component Model (CCM) and described how the CCM container architecture and Component Implementation Framework (CIF) are designed. This column deepens our coverage of CCM by showing how the CIF can be used to implement the components in our stock quoter application using C++ and CCM and interact ...

The digital world loves to revel in its own jargon, and one of its most popular phrases today is “cloud computing.” You see the expression everywhere new uses for the Internet are discussed. But what do techies and companies mean when they refer to doing things in “the cloud”? They aren’t talking about meteorology, and all they see when they use the term—which is always singular—is sunshine, not rain. To help you navigate through the talk about cloud computing, here’s a very basic explainer. It doesn’t cover every detail current among Internet experts. But I hope it gives regular folks a ...

continued to influence the world in the 2000s. The institutions, linkages and technologies that emerged or were redefined earlier would subsequently in this decade benefit many countries, in particular China and India . However, in other parts of the world such progress failed to address ongoing struggles with modernity , most notably characterized by the rise of al-Qaeda and other Islamist groups. The September 11 attacks in 2001 ultimately led to the United States , United Kingdom and other nations controversially invading and occupying Afghanistan and Iraq , as well as implementing various anti-terrorist measures at home and ...

… WS-* is *not* preferable to REST. WSDL creates a tight coupling between the client and service which no amount of XML versioning can hope to alleviate. Code generation is brittle, can create unnecessary data definition dependencies, and inhibits extensibility. The industry has by and large learned this well over the past few years, which is why I mentioned 2004 in my blog about this. WS-* is practically dead. WSDL and code generation try to give distributed systems the appearance of being local, ala RPC, only for the purpose of making the developer’s life easier, but in doing ... Read More

and as its name implies, it covers some of the primary areas developers need to focus on to write good RESTful web services. These areas are: Resources and their URIs Applications and Hypermedia Representations and Media Types Methods Conditional GET Regarding the “Applications and Hypermedia” area, I feel Roy Fielding’s pain that many efforts labeled as being RESTful seem to completely ignore the hypermedia constraint. I believe many developers tend to miss this constraint because they’re so used to using libraries and frameworks that offer lots of entry points, and having knowledge of those entry points ...

偶像 Steve Vinoski 在 maillist 的回帖中一不留神就泄漏了他为 ErlangeXchange 准备的 session ，我们可以先一睹为快。Steve 大拿是 CORBA 界的牛人，对 RPC 是 bad 很有发言权地。这篇文章也写得很漂亮，水分相当少，我就不干“损失味道”的事情了。 为方便阅读，将 mail 内容盗版如下： Well, if you had time you could dig through my various IEEE Internet Computing columns from the past 6 years and find many reasons listed there. For example, “ RPC Under Fire “(note that it’s PDF) from the Sep/Oct 2005 lists a number of problems: Also, pretty much any of my columns that cover REST to any degree would also contain mentions of RPC’s shortcomings. All the columns can be found here : But if you don’t have the time ...

SURVEY RESULTS FOR
INTERNET COMPUTING COLUMNS
Because of the election cycle, the United States Congress and Presidency has a tendency to be short-sighted. Therefore it is a welcome relief when an organization such as the U.S. National Intelligence Council gathers many smart people from around the world to do some serious thinking more than a decade into the future. But while the authors of the NIC report Global Trends 2025: A Transformed World[1] understood the political situations of countries around the world extremely well, their report lacked two things: 1. Sufficient knowledge about technology (especially productive nanosystems) and their second order effects. 2. A ...

Full disclosure: I work for Microsoft selling the Windows Azure platform. This post is interesting because it permits the opportunity to reinforce a message I deliver every day. Cloud is not the be all and end all of computing technology. Not to take away from the exciting things that it makes possible it is not the revolutionary movement that is being ascribed to it. It is another evolutionary approach to computing that has become available because compute and storage have become sufficiently commoditized to permit vendors (some of them new) to provide a new service that is appropriate for some applications. And the ...

RELATED NEWS
The decision to upgrade to a newer version of a smartphone platform needs to be driven by practicality, not for sheer “gotta have it” factor or because your carrier or the fanboys tell you that you need it. A whole seven months ago, back in November of 2009, I bought myself a Motorola Droid . At the time, the phone was considered to be absolutely state-of-the-art, with a high-resolution display, advanced Android 2.0 software, voice recognition, integrated GPS, 600Mhz OMAP processor, and a nifty slide-out keyboard design. In those seven months Android has advanced at a pace equivalent to bacterial gestation in a petri ...

Google is in the midst of replacing all of its Windows-based desktop PCs with ones that run Mac or Linux, citing security concerns since the company was a target of a hack originating in China back in January of 2010. This may be something of a shock to everyone, but Google has never really been completely reliant on the Windows platform, so this is a pretty easy “fix” for the company. Google has been for some time using a variant of Ubuntu Linux in its massive server infrastructure and is pretty much a Silicon Valley poster child for Open Source adoption. So it’s not that big of a stretch that they would ...

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1) My first paper titled �Optimization of semantic caching through XML indexing� has been accepted and published at International conference IADIS (International conferences Applied Computing 2005) held in Portugal in 2005 (http://www.iadis.org/multi2005/). In this paper the semantic caching of XML databases is optimized through proposed index structure named SELIndex, which is an index on the selection attribute of user queries and thus optimizes the matching process. I presented in the virtual conference on 13th April 2005.
2) Second paper titled �Optimized Matching for Semantic Caching through Perfecting� is accepted at The ...
I have recently translated a word document from English into Arabic. Since I didn't want to work on two documents (while having open two dictionaries, web pages, etc), I chose to type my Arabic translation just above the English correpsonding paragrahph and, when done with that, move to the next one and so on. Now I need to make the Arabic text into two columns just like the original one, but that does not work. Instead the first column is on the right and the second is on the left when it should be the opposite since Arabic is a right-to-left language. N.B. The text includes a huge number of footnotes. Thanks for ...
