February 07 2006Service Oriented Architects: Service Oriented Architects need to focus on business processes and on business services. The SOA architect has to understand where a business process is likely to change, and where it probably won't. They need to understand factors that impact multiple process steps, and those that are specific to a single step. Without this level of business knowledge SOA architects will not be able to design services with the proper granularity, and they won't be able to design the proper data interchange model. Using the Desktop API in Java SE 6 (Mustang): The Java platform has been closing the gap between its performance and native app performance on the desktop.

The Mustang Regression Contest, and international law: A question that's come up around the Regressions Contest is:- Why are various countries restricted from participating?
This has to do with laws and lawyers. No doubt you'll have seen this in other contests, especially if you've read the fine print. The phrase is: "void where prohibited by law" ...
In designing this contest we went through an interesting and probably excruciating exercise. We got some lawyers to research for us a set of contest rules that were as compatible with as many countries as possible. That turns out to be very difficult because the law governing contests varies so much from country to country, in incompatible ways. The lawyers did the best they could, but there's only so much one can do to harmonize conflicting laws.
