For a More Secure SOA at Less Cost, Use System z9 and DataDirect 
The inherent layered security of IBM's z/series mainframes and its native support for orchestration both in the processor and in z/OS, makes it inherently a good environment for SOA. This whitepaper discusses how DataDirect can help roll out a high-performance SOA while lowering the total cost of ownership.

Viewpoint: Why All This Fuzz About SOA?
A key to understanding SOA is the distinction between services and Business Services
by Aristo Togliatti

(February 25, 2008) - Vague, undocumented and double or triple meaning definitions are not uncommon to the IT world but I must say that SOA beats them all. If there is a commonly accepted definition I haven't found it yet, the ones I have encountered so far not only differ on what SOA is but they do it on so many different levels of abstraction that it is indeed difficult to get a good picture of what SOA stands for. 


SOA Made Easy with Apache Camel 
Camel supports a domain-specific language in both Java and XML
by Robert Davies & James Strachan

(February 25, 2008) - Over the last several years, integration technology has been growing by leaps and bounds. The XML/REST/Web Services/SOA revolution has driven engineers and software firms to create an abundance of protocols, adaptors, transports, containers, standards, best practices...you name it. The bits and bytes that are now available are undeniably sophisticated, diverse, and capable of almost anything, but many of the packages are built from the technology up and leave the job of how to use the capabilities effectively as an exercise for the reader.

SOA and eXtreme Transaction Processing (XTP) 
Financial institutions are pushing the envelope and require more processing capability
by David Chappell

(February 25, 2008) - Financial institutions are pushing the envelope and require more processing capability, but without requiring exponential increase in hardware costs. The growth of extreme transaction processing (XTP) in areas such as fraud detection, risk computation, and stock trade resolution are pushing current solutions such as those based on the mainframe to the limit. These new applications require a new computing paradigm.

Embedded Software Development: Introducing VaS - Verification-as-Services 
The new world of verification platforms
by Mark Underseth

(February 25, 2008) - The lines between embedded and enterprise computing are blurring. As embedded devices become more and more networked, they form a perimeter at the edge of our enterprise data centers and a rich source of real-time, real-world information. These newcomers to the enterprise are coming of age. Embedded computing is moving beyond the world of hidden computing and a behind-the-scenes role in military and industrial applications.


ASF Grants Synapse Separate, Top-level Project Billing 
Apache Synapse graduates
by Alex Fletcher

(February 25, 2008) - Apache Synapse, which was granted separate, top-level project billing by the ASF last week, is well positioned at the forefront of what remains the early stages of SOA technology maturity. Initially, after first catching wind of Synapse in early spring of last year, I was thrown off slightly by some of the divergent descriptions/understandings of the effort that were floating around the web and as is the case with incubated open source projects it was a rapidly changing code base looking to grow in a more concisely defined direction over time.

AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2008 East
March's Conference is already receiving high-caliber suggestions and submissions
Is it easy yet to make AJAX applications that easily go offline? Are developers better off using an AJAX framework, a toolkit or just coding their own AJAX/JavaScript? Will JavaScript 2.0 be a success, or a dud? How can AJAX apps be made secure? When will AJAX development finally be easy? Submissions on these and dozens of other topics have already begun streaming in to AJAXWorld Conference & Expo 2008 East, being held in New York City on March 18-20, 2008.
