Informatica World May 1-2, Anyone?

April 26, 2007 By brenda michelson

Next week, I’m off to Orlando to attend Informatica World 2007.  As I’ve mentioned several (too many?) times, I think information strategies are critical to a business-driven architecture.  I’m particularly interested in Informatica’s data services strategy (Universal Data Services) and on-demand data integration. 

If you are attending the conference and want to meet-up, drop me an email bmichelson at elementallinks dot com.

Elemental Links Research Survey on web services and/or SOA Testing

April 24, 2007 By brenda michelson

Update 5.7.2007 @ 7:50pm – The Testing Research Survey will close tomorrow, 5.8.2007 around 9:00pm ET.  Thanks to those who have participated to date.  For those that haven’t, there is still time!

At the risk of shocking readers with multiple posts in one day, I’d like to invite you to participate in a research survey I’m conducting in partnership with SOASTA.  The survey was designed to identify key insights into how companies are testing web services and applications.  For this survey, ‘web services’ does not imply a SOAP implementation.

In designing the survey, we don’t assume that web services means SOA, and vice versa.  Specifically, in our adoption questions, we separate "Using web services in production" from "Adopting service-oriented architecture design and development practices".  So, in addition to learning about testing practices, there will be interesting information on adoption.  Survey participants can choose to receive the final report of the survey results. 

To take the survey, go here.  (it’s quick).

Event Processing Conversation Shifts from Research to Practitioners

April 24, 2007 By brenda michelson

[Update July 5, 2008 June 2, 2008 March 26, 2008 September 8, 2007 August 19, 2007 August 6, 2007 May 15, 2007 – updated blog list]

In March, as I was sending through a bunch of event processing (EDA, ESP, CEP) related links , JT posted that he sensed CEP was due for an inflection point.  I concur.  While event-driven architectures and event engines (streaming, complex) are not exactly new, the discussions around them became more prevalent and business/practitioner focused after Gartner placed EDA in the August 2006  hype cycle. (EDA is plotted on the "technology trigger" upslope, with a 5 – 10 year mainstream adoption.)

Instead of just streaming event processing related links through, I thought I’d take a minute to post on a collection of event processing related blogs that have good content for practitioners.  Some, like Marco on ESP, have existed for awhile. Others are new.  Here’s my first pass at a list:

Aleri CEP Blog – Scott Groenendal, Jack Rusher, Jeff Wootton and friends 

Apama Blog  – John Bates, Chris Martins, and Mark Palmer friends of Progress’ Apama

CEP Technology Blog  – Mark Tsimelzon of Coral8

Complex Event Processing – David Luckham, Father of CEP

Marco on ESP CEP – Marco Seiriö of ruleCore

SOA and EDA – Jack Van Hoof, Enterprise Integration Architect

StreamBlog – Barry Morris Mark Palmer of Streambase

Tibco Complex Event Processing – Tim Bass (and others) of Paul Vincent of Tibco

Complex Event Processing – Tim Bass of Tibco SilkRoad

Database Management Services and Text Technologies by Curt Monash

Alexandre Alve’s Blog – Architect for BEA WebLogic Event Server

Event Processing Thinking – Opher Etzion, IBM and Event Processing Technical Society (EPTS)

Magmasystems Blog – Marc Alder, CEP Initiative Leader, Wall Street Investment Bank

BAM Blog – Brian Connell and West Global crew

Please share other blogs that should be listed here.
