BAM is up there with BPM as one of those usually-Gartner-invented TLAs we should be taking a look at. <<Since Gartner coined the term "Business Activity...
You have doubtless all heard of SOA (some of you belong to our SOA Group after all). Have you heard of POA (process-orientated architecture)? Well, I hadn't...
Businesses already have had Dashboards of sorts for several activity monitoring. However, reliance purely on software with lesser human intervention seems to...

IBM like to use Websphere for everything today. I have been reading literature by Sr. Gelernter. I like his solution for using unused computers on a network....
Looks as if Novell is going down the open source road now. I think we will see more major software houses do this in a selective way. What do you think, guys?...
On this same web site I have found a very interesting article about a Yankee report on integration. Instead of going for traditional EAI (very very expensive...
This is an interesting concept, this POA. I do not understand why Gartner do not talk more about this. I will have to tell them! Also I have discovered a...
Hi pretty sure this is one of the topics for this list. The last I looked, Jini and Javaspaces were proprietary technologies from Sun. I thought that's why...
The whole question of recovery-orientated computing was brought up in the J/JS Group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jini_javaspaces/message/304). I certainly...
Jini and JavaSpaces are as proprietary as Java. Sun produced the specification for these technologies. They also produced reference implementations....
I totally agree with the logic of the below (who wouldn't!), but have two questions: 1. Harvesting corn is little more mature than technology, i.e., we don't...
Those of you who are involved in the Application Integration space (and who isn't who works with enterprise apps) will be well aware that the acronym EAI is...
I've written about this elsewhere, but that was a less literate/accomplished environment -- and I don't think many agreed. I basically believe that first step...
Yes, people get confused and their egos increase their confusion towards technology. However when people write applications they do understand generally their...

Hi all, I'm in nit-picking mode today - is MDA an architecture at all? I thought it was a methodology for building code automatically that follows a given...
I believe the point is that an architecture expressed in MDA should be mappable automatically from a PIM to a PSM. The article claims that this is done...
