The Cloud, where SOA meets WOA
Through the noise of the latest IT hype – Cloud computing – I try to follow the somewhat quiet but lingering discussion around SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) versus WOA (Web-Oriented Architecture). Just to get grip and understanding if the one (WOA) is the successor of the other (SOA), if the other will slowly fade away, if the two are complementary and if so: what to implement when?

De-perimeterised Security and the Collaboration Oriented Architecture

The message is gaining acceptance, with many products and companies claiming to be ‘Jericho compliant’, whatever that means. But what does it mean? Jericho has proposed the ‘collaboration oriented architecture’ to replace perimeterised security. Up to now, however, the collaboration oriented architecture has been defined at a very high level, so it’s still not clear how …

Writing better software faster
Looking back on twenty years of software development, I think I must have spent most of that time on trying to improve both the quality and productivity of software development. Ever since I started to write small civil engineering calculation programs in Turbo Pascal way back in 1988 I got interested in writing better software faster. So right after I finished the second of fourteen programs in total, I started working on my first framework. …
