XML at Interop 2005: Is XML Still Relevant?
Dec 30, 2005
Frank Coyle went to Interop 2005 this year to see what impact, if any, XML was having on the movers and shakers in the world of networking. His foray gave him new insights into how XML’s success is impacting the world of networking. For the overhead associated with XML processing, he sees hardware-based solutions as one viable option for alleviating the pressure on servers to parse, extract and route XML traffic. But the challenges associated with the increased bandwidth have fewer ready made solutions. The explosion of asynchronous XML traffic, generated by Ajax styled web applications, are beginning to keep network managers from getting a good night’s sleep.

BPEL: The Next Big Thing in Software?
Nov 18, 2005
Software is far more fluid now than even five years ago. Look at the way we accept new virus definitions and automatic updates to Windows XP!

The future may be bleak for monolithic applications, and the main reason may be found in the area of business process modeling.

On-Demand Computing: A New Paradigm
Oct 6, 2005

The main element of on-demand computing uses the IT infrastructure of today as a foundation for a more powerful model.
