Stu responded to my post on BEA's epitaph. Apologies I missed it, I was on vacation. Stu, all I see is that pretty much no one is using RESTful approaches for real-world problems: a) Flash, Flex, Air, Silverlight, GWT,... pretty much every RIA framework is not following REST b) Who is using REST to solve integration problems again? B2B integration? c) Who is using REST to build

My post yesterday on Justin McCarter and Jim Ladd article on Physhun got me thinking about event semantics and the importance of both understanding and not abusing semantics. "Event" semantics are probably the most abused semantic in the programming world. To start with, hardly anyone would see an event as the occurrence of a state. People even talk about "event occurrences"....

Siemens Canada has achieved a level of maturity in BPM that is unusual in the field. Its experience can provide useful insights to others.

Fred Cummins asked the question last week: Why Should BPMN Support Choreography? I may be wrong but I believe that BPDM started to support the concept of choreography under the momentum of Antoine Lonjon who was actively participating in the UN/CEFACT BPSS working group in the early 2000s. Having been one of the editor of the OASIS ebBP 2.0.4 (and UN/CEFACT BPSS 1.1) and worked...

InfoQ published Steve's presentation on REST vs SOA. The presentation is worth some time, he makes some points. I like of course the fact that he is saying SOA is lacking "architecture" because nobody defined precisely the elements and relationships of a SOA. Steve, of course claims that SOA is not new and it is simply good engineering principles, specially that the structured...

A good friend of mine, Richard Webb, that I highly respect for his knowledge, humor and wisdom has often repeated to me that the Harvard Business School was solely responsible for the abysmal state of the American economy: "They ran this country to the ground". I always took this statement with a grain of skepticism until today. Andrew McAfee, Assoc. Prof. at HBS, and Grand...

I said it many times, the remoting bunch could be circling for 50 years and perpetually come back to its roots and then bitch about it. Of course the REST inquisition got totally offended by the fact that the Grand Priests of Google could be so RESTless but how could you resist to such arguments? Protocol buffers have many advantages over XML for serializing structured data....

I thought that Steve had started to tone down his arguments about the "uniform interface", but no, not really It does look like he gave up on the uniform interface a bit, but he still uses the same BS: The representations returned by resources direct the client through the application state by giving it hyperlinks and form metadata so it knows what to do next. ...the fact that

Google has now missed Wall Street's guesstimates in three of the past five quarters. That seems to be the beginning of the end for Google Ad's model. Google claims that Web users are not clicking as much on the ads due to the current economic climate. My interpretation of the numbers are as follows: growth of ads on Google.com are now well outpacing growth on private web sites...

Via Stefan's blog, Dan Diephouse presents some basic REST scenarios: Getting resources Deleting resources Updating a resource Creating a resource Happy CRUDing !! I "love" the XHTML microformat (what a superb hack ;-), not to mention using URIs to both access, identify a resource and invoke "actions" serendipitously. He also talks about the rise of APP ... be careful of the

Michael Rosen, Boris Lublinsky, Kevin Smith and Marc Balcer have shared their expertize in an extremely practical book. What I like the most about it is that the authors are not shy at defining a holistic approach to SOA and building enterprise class service-oriented solutions, with clear artifacts and a precise methodology. I have not seen yet a book that complete on SOA. I'll...

Justin McCarter and Jim Ladd have published a summary of Physhun: a Spring-based framework for implementing complex processes through Finite State Machine models I am a bit disappointed at the metamodel they chose but that's a start. I personally see actions as pre-actions and post-action (as you enter and leave a state), I also think they could use a more precise definition...

Software as a service has had minimal impact on BPM as a discipline, and its impact on BPM technologies is nascent but growing. To maintain visibility into end-to-end business processes, users should look for SaaS providers whose offerings are based on BPMTs.
