Alongside this update are connectors for FileNet 5 and easier SharePoint server farm deployment and integration.<br /> <br /> Our favorite new feature is within LiveCycle Designer. &nbsp;When you add a new submit button, Designer allows you to select an encryption method and choose from from several XML encryption/decryption algorithms. &nbsp; This will help with many accounts we are currently working on.<br /> Out mobile MEAP-lite platform is also a good way to add custom mobile functionality for wireless device integration into business process.&nbsp;

There are a few tutorials from Neo Technologies which are very useful however I have my unique style of teaching and want to explain this technoracle-style.<br /> <br /> First, if you haven’t already familiarized yourself with <a href="http://technoracle.blogspot.ca/2012/04/getting-started-with-neo4j-beginners.html">Getting Start with Neo4J</a> and the <a href="http://technoracle.blogspot.ca/2012/04/neo4j-installing-running-and-shell.html">Getting Started with the Neo4J Cypher Shell</a>, check out those two articles.<br /> <br /> Here are the steps to communicating with Neo4J from a Java environment. &nbsp;This tutorial should take you about 30 minutes to complete.<br /> <br /> <b>SETUP</b><br /> <br /> 1. &nbsp;Ensure you have the right version of Java and the Java JDK environment set up properly. On a Mac, this is probably already done for you. On a PC, you might have to manually download and install the right version of Java and set the PATH and JAVA_HOME environmental variable from scratch.&nbsp; <br /> <br /> 2. Download and install Neo4J. In this tutorial I am using <a href="http://neo4j.org/download/">Neo4J 1.8 M01 release</a>. I installed it on my OSX 10.7.3 laptop under my home directory (/Users/dnickull/Software/Neo4J_1.8/)<br /> <br /> 3. &nbsp;Ensure you have the correct version of Eclipse installed. For this tutorial, I downloaded <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/">Eclipse Indigo</a> Service Release 1, Build id: 20110916-0149. &nbsp;I use the version entitled Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers.<br /> <br /> <b>STARTING THE PROJECT</b><br /> <br /> 4. &nbsp;Within Eclipse, select File -&gt; new -&gt; Java Project and give the new project a name. In my case I m calling mine “Neo_1.8”. Select Next.<br /> <br /> 5. &nbsp;Under the second <b><i>new project page</i></b>, select <b>Java Build Path (1)</b> the <b>libraries tab (2)</b> and then click on <b>Add External Jars (3)</b>.

The variables will be used as follows in the program.<br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; a. <b>myString</b> – concatenates various strings to print back to the console<br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; b. <b>graphDB</b> – an instance of Neo4J to work with<br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; c. <b>myFirstNode</b> – a neo4J node<br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; d. <b>mySecondNode</b> – a second neo4J node<br /> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; e. <b>myRelationship</b> – the simple relationship between the two nodes.<br /> <br /> &nbsp;14. The next item to create is a static method to declare the list of relationships In this case we are using the word “<b>KNOWS</b>”, which sub-types the neo4J interface <b>RelationshipTypes (<a href="http://api.neo4j.org/1.8.M01/org/neo4j/graphdb/RelationshipType.html">API Docs</a>).</b><br /> <b><br /></b><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-exu3yoXxr6M/T6lkRzNjtDI/AAAAAAAABQ4/Gy0u6GF3JWA/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-05-08+at+11.20.01+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="55" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-exu3yoXxr6M/T6lkRzNjtDI/AAAAAAAABQ4/Gy0u6GF3JWA/s400/Screen+Shot+2012-05-08+at+11.20.01+AM.png" width="400" /></a></div> <b><br /></b><br /> 15. A relationship type is mandatory on all relationships and is used to navigate the node space. RelationshipType is in particular a key part of the <b>traverser framework</b> but it's also used in various relationship operations on <b>Node</b>. RelationshipType is designed to work well with Java 5 enumerationss. This means that it's very easy to define a set of valid relationship types by declaring an enum that implements RelationshipType and then reuse that across the application.<br /> <br /> 16. Now we need to implement our <b>main() </b>method. The main method has 3 basic parts. The first is to <b>instantiate myNeo4JInstance</b>, an embedded instance of Neo4J. There are then consecutive calls to <b>createDb()</b>, <b>removeData()</b> and <b>shutdown()</b>. &nbsp;Add the stub code for these methods.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ipD4wirbgL0/T6niBtvCIVI/AAAAAAAABSA/xk5p0y2maeA/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-05-08+at+8.15.27+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ipD4wirbgL0/T6niBtvCIVI/AAAAAAAABSA/xk5p0y2maeA/s400/Screen+Shot+2012-05-08+at+8.15.27+PM.png" width="400" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <br /> 17. The first method to complete will be the <b>createDb()</b>. Add the following lines of code to this method.<br /> <br /> <b>NOTE:</b> <i>This is a bare bones, minimal tutorial. &nbsp;In production, there are several other items to take care of such as registering a shutdown hook to ensure the database stops properly. &nbsp;This would normally be done at this stage. &nbsp;Read more about the importance of the shutdown hook here </i>-&nbsp;<a href="http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/stable/tutorials-java-embedded-setup.html">http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/stable/tutorials-java-embedded-setup.html</a><br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ofTQKZLados/T6lnOLPAhsI/AAAAAAAABRQ/6MPycqKn4So/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-05-08+at+11.34.10+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="57" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ofTQKZLados/T6lnOLPAhsI/AAAAAAAABRQ/6MPycqKn4So/s400/Screen+Shot+2012-05-08+at+11.34.10+AM.png" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> <b>THE TRANSACTION&nbsp;</b><br /> <br /> 18. The first line calls the GraphDatabaseFactory method to create a new instance of the embedded Neo4J which takes one argument, the DB_PATH we set up earlier. &nbsp;The second line start a new transaction named <b>tx.</b><br /> <b><br /></b><br /> 19. The next line will set up a new Transaction with the identifier “tx” and calls the graphDB’s <b>createNode()</b> method. The transaction basically has two main parts:<br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"><b>&nbsp;try {&nbsp;</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"><b>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; //Some logic&nbsp;</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"><b>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;tx.success&nbsp;</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"><b>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;} finally {&nbsp;</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"><b>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;tx.finish();&nbsp;</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; font-size: x-small;"><b>&nbsp;}&nbsp;</b></span><br /> <br /> 20. The idea is that your application logic goes under the try. All your application logic should be executed before the <b>tx.success()</b> statement. If all goes well, tx.success marks the transaction as successful but does not actually commit it. This is only done when <b>tx.finish() </b>is called. If <b>tx.falure()</b> is thrown during the logic phase, the database is rolled back. This is about as simple and elegant as it gets.<br /> <br /> Here is how our logic will go to create a very simple graph of two musicians who know each other.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GSwrVPw-CCc/T6lp1p9utrI/AAAAAAAABRc/LTKyBfB3bJM/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-05-08+at+11.45.16+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="232" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-GSwrVPw-CCc/T6lp1p9utrI/AAAAAAAABRc/LTKyBfB3bJM/s400/Screen+Shot+2012-05-08+at+11.45.16+AM.png" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> 21. Lines 44 and 45 set properties for myFirstNote while lines 46-47 do the same for mySecondNode. &nbsp;Starting on line 49, a relationship is created between those two nodes using the type from our Java enum, namely "KNOWS". &nbsp;This is all printed to string before <b>tx.success()</b> is called. &nbsp;<b>tx.finish()</b> is where the transaction is actually committed.<br /> <br /> 22. Next we will tackle the <b>removeData()</b> method, which will be executed next in the main method. This essentially undoes all the work we just completed. Modify the contents as follows. Note that this uses the exact same transaction construct as when we created the database. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Hmezr_wtyRo/T6lrhPAoB3I/AAAAAAAABRk/-dc4gGCL0_U/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-05-08+at+11.52.22+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="141" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Hmezr_wtyRo/T6lrhPAoB3I/AAAAAAAABRk/-dc4gGCL0_U/s400/Screen+Shot+2012-05-08+at+11.52.22+AM.png" width="400" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> 23. Line 70 basically provides a start context for the transaction by looking for myFirstNode and calls the delete() method on the relationship. &nbsp; &nbsp;The same delete() method is then called on both other nodes.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> 24. The last portion of the code to write is to shutdown the database. Luckily once more the engineers from Neo4J have provided a great method for doing this, aptly named shutdown().<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YjLH4lH89Vk/T6lsO2bSBYI/AAAAAAAABRs/nvGIYXoR7Rg/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-05-08+at+11.55.37+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="78" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-YjLH4lH89Vk/T6lsO2bSBYI/AAAAAAAABRs/nvGIYXoR7Rg/s320/Screen+Shot+2012-05-08+at+11.55.37+AM.png" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <b>RUN THE PROJECT</b><br /> <br /> 25.

This is a question I had to answer while at Adobe but somehow the way this question is answered now has changed from an outsider perspective. &nbsp; I find myself describing it in terms of business capabilities and value rather than the technology itself. Nevertheless, if you want to know what LiveCycle is, this blog post should provide a solid background.</span></div> <div style="background-color: #f8f9f8; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #434343; font-size: 0.875em; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;"> <span id="more-84" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></div> <div> <span style="font-family: inherit;">LiveCycle is an enterprise software system that solves problems pertaining to mass scale processing of Portable Document Format (PDF) documents. While individual users of PDF’s tend to use Adobe Acrobat or Reader for working with PDF, LiveCycle is meant to aid the processing of tens of thousands of LiveCycle PDF documents. Hence, it is an enterprise solution that anyone who currently uses paper forms should look at if they are wanting to streamline the ingestion of data from forms. Likewise, it had many modules that can mitigate problems around PDF such as document security (think of Wiki-leaks).</span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div 'helvetica="" -webkit-auto;="" 0.5em;="" 0.875em;="" 0px;="" 1.5em;="" arial,="" baseline;"="" font-family:="" font-size:="" helvetica,="" margin-bottom:="" margin-top:="" neue',="" padding-bottom:="" padding-left:="" padding-right:="" padding-top:="" sans-serif;="" text-align:="" vertical-align:=""> <span style="font-family: inherit;">LiveCycle itself is comprised of several components. I’ll walk through each of these components one at a time. the main component is akin to what many call an Enterprise Service Bus or ESB for short. This includes a set of common services, a common environment of service execution, a registry-repository system, workflow and storage components to name a few components. LiveCycle ES installs as a server and the server can bind to many different types of common enterprise infrastructure components including directories (LDAP for example). Below is a depiction of the server side component of LiveCycle ES.</span></div> <div> <a href="http://www.uberity.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/What-is_LiveCycle-ES-Uberity.png" style="-webkit-transition-delay: 0s; -webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s; -webkit-transition-property: color; -webkit-transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #cb30d1; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="What is Livecycle - the server component explained." class=" wp-image-86 aligncenter" src="http://www.uberity.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/What-is_LiveCycle-ES-Uberity.png" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="What-is_LiveCycle-ES-Uberity" /></a><br /> <span style="color: #cb30d1;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">The server’s core services are all registered in a registry. &nbsp;There can be orchestrated and used to perform different types of operations on PDF documents and with extensions, to also talk to mobile (wireless) devices. &nbsp;At the bottom of the Service tier is a Service Provider Interface (SPI) which is where back end systems often integrate. &nbsp;Systems such as SAP that might consume and produce massive amounts of data for government or finance could link in to this layer to offer PDF forms as a point of interaction with humans, then automatically accept, validate and consume the form data provided by the user. &nbsp;The users themselves can access data (by requesting a PDF form or perhaps by being pushed notifications of events) via the Service Invocation Layer at the top. &nbsp;This is a J2EE server and can be set up in many different ways. &nbsp;One option is often to install it on site however for evaluation, I have found that using the Amazon cloud is one of the best ways for evaluation. &nbsp;I have experience with this and we have found that while it takes an average first time installation of LiveCycle’s server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux with full SSL/TLS configuration and testing afterwards to take many over 2.5 days. &nbsp;I highly recommend the turnkey Windows server installation however I do offer a flat fee to install this on the cloud for evaluation.</span> <br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br /> <div> <span style="font-family: inherit;">So what are the core component and services LiveCycle offers? &nbsp; Here is a brief rundown. &nbsp;The following is not an exhaustive list, rather an example to help explain what LiveCycle is.</span></div> <b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Forms ES</b> – this module can be licensed to automate just about every aspect of forms processing. &nbsp;The ability to save money over paper forms is astounding.&nbsp;</span><br /> <b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Barcoded Forms ES</b> – the barcoded forms module allows forms to be printed with a corresponding 2D bar code that can later be electronically scanned to recapture the form data electronically. &nbsp;This is useful if you wanted to create something like an electronic voting system that had a fully audit able paper trail or if you needed someone to electronically fill out a form and sign it then mail it in to you for ingestion into your systems.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br /> <b>Digital Signatures ES</b> – since many companies use digital signatures now, often deemed more reliable and audit able than wet ink signatures, PDF documents support this feature. &nbsp;The LiveCycle Server can perform massive scale operations using the Digital Signatures module like validating 100,000 signatures to ensure certificates have not been revoked.<br /> <b><br /></b><br /> <b>Output ES</b> – Our put is used often for production print.<br /> <br /> <b>PDF Generator ES </b>– this module provides almost every possible method for generating PDF, PostScript, FXA, XDP or other related files.<br /> <br /> <b>Process Management ES </b>– LiveCycle ES contains a full blown business process management capability.<br /> <br /> <b>Reader Extensions ES </b>– this module of LiveCycle unlocks features in Adobe Reader that enable it to perform more like Acrobat. &nbsp;These extensions are often cheaper as a solution than forcing all users to buy copies of Adobe Acrobat.<br /> <b><br /></b><br /> <b>Rights Management ES</b> – Rights Management is one of our favorite modules. &nbsp;You can use this to protect documents from beign distributed beyond what you want and even expire a document. The perfect solution to Wikileaks! There are many other modules and this is only designed to show you a small cross section of LiveCycle.</div> <br /> So what does LiveCycle look like when you use it? &nbsp;This is actually very dependent upon your role. &nbsp;There are Adminstrators and other various types of power users. &nbsp;This group use the administrative console which is web based.<br /> &nbsp; <a href="http://www.uberity.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/LiveCycle-Administrators-view.png" style="-webkit-transition-delay: 0s; -webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s; -webkit-transition-property: color; -webkit-transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #cb30d1; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><img alt="The Adobe LiveCycle ES Administrator view" class=" wp-image-88 aligncenter" height="96" src="http://www.uberity.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/LiveCycle-Administrators-view.png" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="LiveCycle-Administrators-view" width="400" /></span></a><br /> <br /> <br /> Most people who work with received forms or kick off business processes will use the Workspace interface. &nbsp;This is where privileged users can also receive work that has been queued up for them to work with.<br /> <br /> &nbsp; <span style="-webkit-transition-delay: 0s; -webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s; -webkit-transition-property: color; -webkit-transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #cb30d1; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://www.uberity.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/What-is-LiveCycle-Workspace.png" style="-webkit-transition-delay: 0s; -webkit-transition-duration: 0.2s; -webkit-transition-property: color; -webkit-transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; color: #cb30d1; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="LiveCycle Workspace" class=" wp-image-89 aligncenter" height="225" src="http://www.uberity.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/What-is-LiveCycle-Workspace.png" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: 0px; display: block; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;" title="What-is-LiveCycle-Workspace" width="400" /></a></span> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: inherit;">For users who design actual PDF forms, this class will spend a lot of time in the Adobe LiveCycle Designer view.

</b>This gives you a wealth of information including every jar in the CLASSPATH, JAVA_OPTS (options), the environmental variable JAVA_HOME, the NEO4J_INSTANCE which is a path to the current instance, the server PORT it is using over HTTP and the NEO4J_HOME environmental variable as well as the current JDK value. &nbsp;</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;

As you probably guessed, using rmnode with the -f flag was irresistable and I had to try it so I typed in <b style="font-style: italic;">rmnode -f. &nbsp;</b>Now beware, this removes all including the current node. &nbsp;Once you run this and try an ls, the return will be a question mark since there is no current node (or at least it didn't seem to be reachable. &nbsp;After running this you get:</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <b><i>neo4j-sh (?)$ ls</i></b></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> <b><i>Node &lt;ref&gt;

As one person puts it, if you write, you can write code, if you can draw you can draw graphs. &nbsp;It is really that simple. &nbsp;A graph database starts with a root node. &nbsp;The database is comprised of nodes, relationships, indexes and properties. &nbsp;A simplification of this is the following chart:<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QR0Nutm2Lrk/T5i7nz8aCqI/AAAAAAAABNY/ZaDfMkBD6c0/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-25+at+8.05.28+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="315" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QR0Nutm2Lrk/T5i7nz8aCqI/AAAAAAAABNY/ZaDfMkBD6c0/s400/Screen+Shot+2012-04-25+at+8.05.28+PM.png" width="400" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> A simple graph database.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> A graph database keeps track of nodes and relationships as well as indexes (we'll get into that later). &nbsp;For now think of this in kinderSpiele terms. &nbsp;A graph is simply a drawing that show how things are connected. &nbsp;Each connection might have a name. &nbsp;each node might also have a name. &nbsp;Here is a simplistic view of a graph.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JGSxfgbc5T4/T5i8xCqyOTI/AAAAAAAABNg/xz1Qsty1U-c/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-25+at+8.10.16+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="157" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-JGSxfgbc5T4/T5i8xCqyOTI/AAAAAAAABNg/xz1Qsty1U-c/s320/Screen+Shot+2012-04-25+at+8.10.16+PM.png" width="320" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> In this simple graph, Duane - [LOVES] -&gt; Neo4j, the latter of this has a property of being binary. &nbsp;Now&nbsp;psychology&nbsp;aside (this in fact would be an unhealthy physical relationship), this captures several important concepts yet leaves out several very relevant ontological answers. Relationships organize Nodes into structures that allow a Graph to resemble many natural structures including a List, a Tree, a Map, or a compound Entity – any of which can be combined into yet more complex, richly inter-connected structures. &nbsp;It is obvious that Duane loves Neo4J but here are some questions that are left unanswered.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> 1. Does neo4J love Duane back?</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> 2. Is Neo4J even aware that Duane loves it?</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> 3. Is Duane able to see that Neo4J is in fact a binary node and probably not suited for a proper relationship?</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> All are possible but undefined in this scenario. &nbsp; &nbsp;That is why the next concept that must be introduced is a traversal mechanism. &nbsp;Traversals allow navigation of graphs via statements that can select exact routing between many of these objects. &nbsp;THese can be written in many languages such as cypher and allow a filter to be applied to find a path though the nodes and relationships to find answers to certain questions. &nbsp;Such a question in the real world may be "How many friends do I have who enjoy eating spumonte ice crean while reading up on graph databases on Technoracle". &nbsp;In reality that subset of the population is likely very small but when applied to something like Facebook or Google Plus, become highly relevant.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Here is a depiction of how traversals work. Again this is&nbsp;rudimentary.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-jU9-v3992AU/T5jBbPOCinI/AAAAAAAABNs/zq2cqerVIPU/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-25+at+8.30.23+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Again,. this is very simple but you get the idea. &nbsp;The traversal mechanism can take a set of instructions, then use if to find data it requires very efficiently. &nbsp;An example might be that you use Facebook. &nbsp;When you log in, it starts with the node of "you". &nbsp;As the page loads, the javaScript on the page creates a backend query that says find all the nodes that are related to the user down to a layer of X deep. &nbsp;Neo4J's Java API supports depth limits making it idea for this sort of operation. &nbsp;Unlike an RDBSM system where an entire table might have to be walked, Neo4J allows you to set limits and take actions based on the current state. &nbsp; Paths are predefined statements, often written in Cypher.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Keeping with the Facebook example, an INDEX is often a useful tool. &nbsp;When a certain node is required a a start point over and over again, you can use it as an index to start with. &nbsp;By contract, RDBS systems use a table and rows lookup to find the startpoint. &nbsp;The index is simply a contextual based starting point. &nbsp;Indexes can map directly to a node, a relationship or backwards from a property. &nbsp;Instead of saying:<br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> SELECT * FROM TABLES WHERE * EQUALS "Duane Nickull".... &nbsp;you can tell a graphDB to "get Duane Nickull" then traverse outwards from him. &nbsp;Simple and efficient.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Neo4J is a commercially supported, free and open source graph database that is going to rock the world. &nbsp;Trust me on this. &nbsp;Next post will be getting started. &nbsp;All the sordid details (at least 3 easy steps) it takes to get up and running.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The tech/developer crowd is also one of our primary audiences. &nbsp; &nbsp;We went to the SXSW website and it read something to the effect of:<br /> <br /> "<i>All artists interested in performing at SXSW must complete an online application through our exclusive online musical event submission platform Sonicbids.</i>" followed by the sentence "<i>You'll only hear from us before that time if we encounter a problem or require more information.</i><br /> <i><br /></i><br /> <i>Source:&nbsp;<a href="http://sxsw.com/music/shows/faq">http://sxsw.com/music/shows/faq</a></i><br /> <br /> To <b>apply to work your trade</b>, indie artists are forced to <b>hand over $40.00</b>. &nbsp;The facts can be verified at <a href="http://www.sonicbids.com/Opportunity/OpportunityView.aspx?opportunity_id=104875&amp;account_id=0&amp;rfl=19">this web page on Sonicbids</a>. &nbsp;Once you apply (yes we did this once even though it is morally offensive), it is not transparent. &nbsp; You apply along with thousands of other artists and hear nothing back. &nbsp; That's it. &nbsp;They took your money and you got nothing in return. &nbsp;There is no clear statement about how many SonicBids artists actually get to play at SXSW. &nbsp;It says they are exclusive, but I find it hard to believe guys like Duff McKagan, a former music panelist at SXSW and good friends with my friends Randy Rampage and Zippy Pinhead, would pay this fee. &nbsp; Is it possible that SXSW hires the bands they want anyways and maybe gives X remaining slots to SonicBids hires? &nbsp;No one knows the truth other than SonicBids and SXSW.<br /> <br /> All of a sudden you see an announcement <a href="http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/2012/03/01/147449656/npr-music-announces-sxsw-line-up?sc=tw&amp;cc=twmp">like this one</a>&nbsp;from NPR music saying that Fiona Apple, Bruce Springsteen and others are playing.&nbsp;Let me ask you some basic questions.<br /> <br /> Do you think they (Bruce and Fiona) paid $40.00 to apply to work at SXSW? &nbsp;Would you pay your boss $40.00 every day to ask him if you could work and the response might either be "yes" or complete silence?<br /> <br /> I personally answer "no" to both of these questions. &nbsp;Read the statement above again. &nbsp;It says "<b><i>exclusive</i></b>". &nbsp; Here is an open question to anyone. &nbsp;Have you ever seen a band play at SXSW through another vehicle that SonicBids? &nbsp;If so, please tell us about it.<br /> <br /> So what is going on here? &nbsp;Simple. &nbsp;This is illegal in most countries. &nbsp;We are musicians. &nbsp;Granted I do not need to personally make money on music but many of my dear friends to. &nbsp;This system is shameful and it is not&nbsp;conducive&nbsp;of fair trade. &nbsp;SXSW should immediately to the right thing and move to a crowd sourced model which musicians are allowed to freely enter and the system is completely transparent. &nbsp;This closed doors, money grab is a slap in the face to the artists, many of who are trying to simply survive while pursuing their passion in music. &nbsp;Who loses? &nbsp;Everyone except SonicBids. &nbsp;You the music fans at SXSW do not get to vote on who you want to see, the musicians lose money and get noting in return and SXSW makes the ultimate choices. SXSW does not get the best customer experience from those who attend, hence also loses. &nbsp;I am not sure if SonicBids kicks back any money to SXSW and would love to see the financial statements. &nbsp;Oh, I guess they are not for public eyes.<br /> <br /> Wait! &nbsp;This gets worse. &nbsp;As <a href="http://austin2012.sched.org/event/5b2dfeac05343db1c973b4b4b09e470e">noted by Jeff Price, the founder of TuneCore</a>:<br /> <br /> <i>"Who's benefiting from it? All the wrong people," stresses Jeff Price, founder and CEO of TuneCore, a digital music distribution service. "The traditional music industry now has a new income stream that is based on other people's music and copyrights being exploited and sold. It is the largest global scam that exists in the music industry today, depriving artists and songwriters of hundreds of millions of dollars."</i><br /> <br /> Jeff nailed it (thank you Jeff). &nbsp;Not only are the artists getting their music downloaded for free, they are forced to pay to apply to ply their trade, and the streams are also stolen and no money flows back. &nbsp;This is morally offensive. &nbsp;I write this blog post and ask you all to think about this. &nbsp;I'm sure if you're planning to go to SXSW you will still go but if there is anything you can do to raise attention to this situation, my brothers and sisters, the artists of the music industry, the lowest rung on the ladder, would appreciate it. &nbsp;You see, we no longer have power in this matter. &nbsp;This is a plea to you to help us.<br /> <br /> It's very simple. &nbsp;If we do not have fair trade introduced into the mix, the arts suffer. &nbsp;It becomes run by the mainstream media who decide for you what you will see. &nbsp;All we ask for is an equal chance to perform. &nbsp;All we ask is to be able to ply our trade without being robbed, used and actually get a fair compensation for our work. &nbsp;We put in ten thousand hours of practice, buy our own instruments and gear, pay our own way to go to shows and perform. &nbsp;Being preyed on by monopolistic business practices hurts us.<br /> <br /> <b><i>Dear SonicBids,</i></b> if you ever try to come to British Columbia, you will be met with a swift response of getting the BC labour relations board immediately aware that you are violating several provincial statues around the labour market. &nbsp;That is before the BC Gaming Commission looks at you for opening up a "lottery" and allowing bands with minors to place bets based on their believe they will be hired to money. &nbsp;If you do manage to get by them, any gig you try in a major city will be met with swift and violent boycotts. &nbsp;I will put myself on the front line as many of my Vancouver friends will do to stop you from migrating your shit to Canada. &nbsp;<b>We will not let any musician play a gig in Vancouver if they had to pay SonicBids to apply to play!</b>&nbsp; It is that simple. &nbsp;Stay out of our province. &nbsp;There several hundred of us who will show up at such a gig to shut it down.<br /> <br /> <b><i>Dear people elsewhere,</i></b> use this as a template. &nbsp;Understand the system and realize by going to SXSW you are part of a system that takes advantage of indie musicians and artists, who are often the amongst the poorest of the system. &nbsp;Help support them by demanding SXSW and other bars engage in fair trade practices and demand your right to crowd source music. &nbsp;Bring this up at panels or ask the people on the music panel what they think about this. &nbsp;Raise awareness. &nbsp;Help us!<br /> <br /> <b><i>To SXSW</i></b> - expect me to be a thorn in your side until you fix this. &nbsp;I will personally offer to help you devise and implement a better system that treats musicians fairly. &nbsp;If you show the courage to acknowledge this error and move forward to correct the situation, I am positive the crowds of people attending will be happy to help vote the bands they want to see play. &nbsp;The ball is in your court to acknowledge an injustice and correct it. &nbsp;Until then, you will not see me and I will be vocal in fighting what I and my local laws deem illegal.<br /> <br /> SXSW - the next move is yours to fix this. I'm here to help if you want.<br /> <br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Original post at <a href="http://technoracle.blogspot.com">http://technoracle.blogspot.com</a><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17460203-2298567339309248980?l=technoracle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/NUcQv/~4/0FoF2thhqDw" height="1" width="1"/> id tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17460203.post-2298567339309248980 link Stomach Contents: Structure - array 1 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/NUcQv/~3/0FoF2thhqDw/why-i-boycott-swsx-and-urge-you-do-to.html rel alternate title Why I boycott SXSW and Urge You do to the Same type text/html 2 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://technoracle.blogspot.com/feeds/2298567339309248980/comments/default rel replies title Post Comments type application/atom+xml 3 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://technoracle.blogspot.com/2012/04/why-i-boycott-swsx-and-urge-you-do-to.html#comment-form rel replies title 0 Comments type text/html 4 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17460203/posts/default/2298567339309248980?v=2 rel edit type application/atom+xml 5 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17460203/posts/default/2298567339309248980?v=2 rel self type application/atom+xml published 2012-04-23T17:05:00Z title Stomach Contents: Structure - struct value Why I boycott SXSW and Urge You do to the Same updated 2012-04-30T00:30:47Z 10 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct author Stomach Contents: Structure - array 1 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct email noreply@blogger.com name Duane "Chaos" Nickull uri http://www.blogger.com/profile/08767498160563891543 content Stomach Contents: Structure - array 1 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct type html value <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/cyijpGHrPldoZYMLkdFRzxPm50M/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/cyijpGHrPldoZYMLkdFRzxPm50M/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/cyijpGHrPldoZYMLkdFRzxPm50M/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/cyijpGHrPldoZYMLkdFRzxPm50M/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> I get pinged a lot asking if we have any "<a href="http://blog.uberity.com/2012/04/livecycle-developers-for-hire/">LiveCycle Developers for hire</a>". &nbsp;At Uberity we also get asked this a lot. &nbsp;The blog post referenced above explain what we can and cannot do but failed to mention training and mobile. &nbsp;One of the key offerings that I believe any enterprise software company can give is training and knowledge transfer to their customers. &nbsp;It is one thing to go into a customer and install a system or solution, but there is an onus to train the customer how to use it. &nbsp;We believe this is an essential part of any LiveCycle deal.<br /> <br /> With Adobe LiveCycle, we see a repeatable pattern of people who have bought LiveCycle ES and also are not using it to the full potential. &nbsp;This means they are not getting the most optimal return on their IT investment. &nbsp;Learning LiveCycle is daunting however. &nbsp;If you want to really get good at it, there are about 20 different course modules to take. &nbsp;One of the most recent patterns that is emerging is the aspect of mobile devices.<br /> <br /> <b>Mobile and LiveCycle ES</b><br /> <br /> We have started building our own technology platform that will compliment LiveCycle ES. &nbsp;Going to mobile or wireless devices from LC ES is also a challenge. &nbsp;There is a mistaken belief that PDF or XDP forms can work for this. &nbsp;Even if it did work, it is most certainly not the right solution. &nbsp;Adobe is rumoured to be brewing up an in house way to round trip from LiveCycle to Mobile but the reality is that most companies will use only a small subset of mobile features and the first iteration will likely focus on forms. &nbsp;Uberity has build up a set of native components and functionally re-usable code module that can be leveraged for those who want fast applications that can access low level API's on various mobile systems. &nbsp;We firmly believe that we are doing is a superior solution, just potentially more costly for the end user. &nbsp;To help people understand the issues, we published a white paper entitled "<a href="http://uberity.com/whitepapers/Mobile-Application-Development-Strategy_FINAL.pdf">Mobile Application Development Strategies</a> which is free to download and share.<br /> <br /> If your organization is considering such patterns, please come and talk to us by emailing info at uberity dot com. &nbsp;We don't bite (well usually). &nbsp;If you need it fast, we can help.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;

While the terms used to describe Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) have changed in recent years (to terms like "Cloud Computing" and "SaaS"), the basic tenets are still valid. &nbsp;Therefore, I am posting the original white paper here on Technoracle with a series of updates to the topics in an attempt to explore the concept of SOA within the context of <a href="http://uberity.com/whitepapers/Mobile-Application-Development-Strategy_FINAL.pdf">mobile application development</a> in a subsequent series of blog posts. &nbsp;To be the first to read the new data, subscribe to this blog. <br /> <b>Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)&nbsp;and Specialized Messaging Patterns</b><br /> <b><i><br /> </i></b><br /> <b><i>1.0 Thesis</i></b><br /> <br /> The widespread emergence of the Internet in the mid 1990s as a platform for electronic data distribution and the advent of structured information have revolutionized our ability to deliver information to any corner of the world. While the introduction of Extensible Markup Language (XML)&nbsp;as a structured format was a major enabling factor, the promise offered by SOAP based webservices triggered the discovery of architectural patterns that are now known as Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). &nbsp;XML and the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format, enabled portable data but the architecture based on services was the real coup in the expansion of data sharing.<br /> <br /> Service Oriented Architecture or SOA is an architectural paradigm and discipline that may be used to build infrastructures enabling those with needs (consumers) and those with capabilities (providers) to interact via services across disparate domains of technology and ownership. Services act as the core facilitator of electronic data interchanges yet require additional mechanisms in order to function. Several new trends in the computer industry rely upon SOA as the enabling foundation. These include the automation of Business Process Management (BPM), composite applications (applications that aggregate multiple services to function), and the multitude of new architecture and design patterns generally referred to as Web 2.0. The latter, Web 2.0, is not defined as a static architecture. Web 2.0 can be generally characterized as a common set of architecture and design patterns, which can be implemented in multiple contexts. The list of common patterns includes the Mashup, Collaboration-Participation, Software as a Service (SaaS), Semantic Tagging (folksonomy), and Rich User Experience (also known as Rich Internet Application) patterns among others. These are augmented with themes for software architects such as trusting your users and harnessing collective intelligence. Most Web 2.0 architecture patterns rely on Service Oriented Architecture in order to function. When designing Web 2.0 applications based on these patterns, architects often have highly specialized requirements for moving data. Enterprise adoption of these patterns requires special considerations for scalability, flexibility (in terms of multiple message exchange patterns), and the ability to deliver these services to a multitude of disparate consumers. Architects often need to expand data interchanges beyond simple request-response patterns and adopt more robust message exchange patterns, triggered by multiple types of events. As a result, many specialized platforms are evolving to meet these needs.<br /> <br /> This white paper discusses specializations for advanced data exchanges within enterprise service oriented environments and illustrates some of the common architectures of these new platforms. <br /> <b>2.0 An Introduction to Service Oriented Architecture</b><br /> <br /> Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a paradigm for organizing and utilizing distributed capabilities that may be under the control of different ownership domains and implemented using various technology stacks. In general, entities (people and organizations) create capabilities to solve or support a solution for the problems they face in the course of their business. It is natural to think of one person’s needs being met by capabilities offered by someone else; or, in the world of distributed computing, one computer agent’s requirements being met by a computer agent belonging to a different owner. The term owner here may be used to denote different divisions of one business or perhaps unrelated entities in different countries. <br /><br /> There is not necessarily a one-to-one correlation between needs and capabilities; the granularity of needs and capabilities vary from fundamental to complex, and any given need may require a combination of numerous capabilities while any single capability may address more than one need. One perceived value of SOA is that it provides a powerful framework for matching needs and capabilities and for combining capabilities to address those needs by leveraging other capabilities. One capability may be repurposed across a multitude of needs. SOA is a “view” of architecture that focuses in on services as the action boundaries between the needs and capabilities in a manner conducive to service discovery and repurposing. <br /> <b>2.1 Requirements for SOA</b><br /> <b><br /> </b><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fEttUPJo9lE/TwU5zwo5ODI/AAAAAAAABG0/VwDJn_h_z2g/s1600/SOA-problem+to+be+solved.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-fEttUPJo9lE/TwU5zwo5ODI/AAAAAAAABG0/VwDJn_h_z2g/s400/SOA-problem+to+be+solved.png" width="400" /></a></div> <b><br /> </b><br /> <b><br /> </b><br /> Figure 2-1 shows an example of an information system scenario that could benefit from a migration to SOA. Within one organization, three separate business processes use the same functionality, each encapsulating it within an application. In this scenario, the login function, the ability to change the user name, and the ability to persist it are common tasks implemented redundantly in all three processes. This is a suboptimal situation because the company has paid to implement the same basic functionality three times.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3p_tKuCvIHc/T4R63oGlSJI/AAAAAAAABKc/NkxAFtpN8F0/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+11.23.57+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="215" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3p_tKuCvIHc/T4R63oGlSJI/AAAAAAAABKc/NkxAFtpN8F0/s320/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+11.23.57+AM.png" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Figure 2.1 – three business processes within one company duplicating functionality</span></i></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></i></div> Moreover, such scenarios are highly inefficient and introduce maintenance complexity within IT infrastructures. For example, consider an implementation in which the state of a user is not synchronized across all three processes. In this environment users might have to remember multiple login username/password tokens and manage changes to their profiles in three separate areas. Additionally, if a manager wanted to deny a user access to all three processes, it is likely that three different procedures would be required (one for each of the applications). Corporate IT workers managing such a system would be effectively tripling their work –and spending more for software and hardware systems.<br /> <br /> In a more efficient scenario, common tasks would be shared across all three processes. This can be implemented by decoupling the functionality from each process or application and building a standalone authentication and user management application that can be accessed as a service. In such a scenario, the service itself can be repurposed across multiple processes and applications and the company owning it only has to maintain the functionality in one central place. This would be a simple example of Service Oriented Architecture in practice. The resultant IT infrastructure would resemble Figure 2.2.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z4pz_mEqBgU/T4R7IzPiu5I/AAAAAAAABKk/FcuNBUsi0P4/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+11.25.23+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="249" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Z4pz_mEqBgU/T4R7IzPiu5I/AAAAAAAABKk/FcuNBUsi0P4/s320/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+11.25.23+AM.png" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Figure 2.2 – three business processes repurposing one service for common tasks.</i></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><br /></i></span></div> In figure 2.2, the shared user account tasks have been separated from each process and implemented in a way that enables other processes to call them as a service. This allows the shared functions to be repurposed across all three processes. The common service bus is really a virtual environment whereby services are made available to all potential consumers on a fabric. This is typically referred to as an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) and has a collection of specialized subcomponents including naming and lookup directories, registry-repositories, and service provider interfaces (for connecting capabilities and integrating systems) as well as a standardized collection of standards and protocols to make communications seamless across all connected devices. Advanced ESB vendors have tools that can aggregate services into complex processes and workflows.<br /> <br /> In the preceding example of SOA, the complications were relatively minor as the entire infrastructure existed within one domain. In reality, enterprise SOA is much more difficult because services may be deployed across multiple domains of ownership. To make interactions possible, mechanisms have to be present to convey semantics, declare and enforce policies and contracts, the ability to use constraints for data passed in and out of the services as well as expressions for the behavior models of services. The ability to understand both the structure and semantics of data passing between service endpoints is essential for all parties involved.<br /> <br /> While most SOA examples are typically shown as a request-response interaction pattern, more robust exchanges are required. Additionally, modern service platforms also need the flexibility to support these advanced message exchange patterns. Before discussing the platform and reference architecture, this white paper will briefly delve into SOA in more detail. <h4 style="text-align: left;"> <i>2.3 A Reference Model for Service Oriented Architecture</i></h4> As with any other architecture, Service Oriented Architecture can be expressed in a manner that is decoupled from implementation. Software architects generally use standardized conventions for capturing and sharing knowledge. This group of conventions is often referred to as an Architecture Description Language (ADL). There are also several normalized artifacts used to facilitate a shared understanding of the structure of a system, its major components, the relationships between them, and their externally visible properties. This white paper will make use of two special types of these artifacts – a <b><i>Reference Model</i></b> and <b><i>Reference Architecture</i></b>.<br /> <br /> A <i><b>Reference Model </b></i>is an abstract framework for understanding significant entities and relationships between them. It may be used for the further development of more concrete artifacts such as architectures and blueprints. Reference models themselves do not contain a sufficient level of detail sufficient to enable the direct implementation of a system. In the case of a reference model for SOA, the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Systems (OASIS) has a standard<a href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=soa-rm"> Reference Model for SOA</a>, shown in Figure 2.3, that is not directly tied to any standards, technologies, or other concrete implementation details. <br /> <br /> In order for SOA to be meet these challenges, services must have accompanying service descriptions to convey the meaning and real world effects of invoking the service. These descriptions must additionally convey both semantics and syntax for both humans and applications to use. <br /> <br /> Each service has an interaction model, which is the externally visible aspects of invoking a service. In this paper, this will be decomposed further to examine the data service aspects of SOA.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DWuggBOaOZs/T4R7bZpz3CI/AAAAAAAABKs/YwNIJqz4ZMY/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+11.26.25+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="278" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DWuggBOaOZs/T4R7bZpz3CI/AAAAAAAABKs/YwNIJqz4ZMY/s400/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+11.26.25+AM.png" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Figure 2.3 – the core OASIS Reference Model for Service Oriented Architecture</i></span></div> <br /> <b>Visibility</b> and <b>Real World Effect</b> are also key concepts for SOA. Visibility is the capacity for those with needs and those with capabilities to be able to see and interact with each other. This is typically implemented by using a common set of protocols, standards, and technologies across service providers and service consumers. For consumers to determine if they can interact with a specific service, <b>Service Descriptions </b>provide declarations of aspects such as functions and technical requirements, related constraints and policies, and mechanisms for access or response. In many real world situations, service descriptions may be technically described in instances of <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl">Web Services Description Language (WSDL)</a> documents.<br /> <br /> The descriptions must be in a form (or can be transformed to a form) in which their syntax and semantics are widely accessible and understandable. The <b>execution context</b> is the set of specific circumstances surrounding any given interaction with a service and may affect how the service is invoked.<br /> <br /> Since SOA permits service providers and consumers to interact, it also provides a decision point for any <b>policies and contracts</b> that may be in force. The purpose of using a capability is to realize one or more real world effects. At its core, an interaction is “an act” as opposed to “an 4object” and the result of an interaction is an effect (or a set/series of effects). Real world effects are, then, couched in terms of changes to this shared state. This may specifically mutate the shared state of data in multiple places within an enterprise and beyond.<br /> <br /> The concept of <b>policy</b> also must be applicable to data represented as documents and policies must persist to protect this data far beyond enterprise walls. This requirement is a logical evolution of the “locked file cabinet” model which has failed many IT organizations in recent years. Policies must be able to persist with the data that is involved with services, wherever the data persists. A contract is formed when at least one other party to a service oriented interaction adheres to the policies of another. Service contracts may be either short lived or long lived.<br /> <br /> <h4 style="text-align: left;"> 2.3 Decomposing the Interaction Model</h4> Whereas visibility introduces the possibilities for matching needs to capabilities (and vice versa), interaction is the act of actually using a capability via the service. Typically mediated by the exchange of messages, an interaction proceeds through a series of information exchanges and invoked actions. There are many facets of interaction; but they are all grounded in a particular execution context – the set of technical and business elements that form a path between those with needs and those with capabilities. Architects building Rich Internet Applications (RIAs), are faced with special considerations when designing their systems from this perspective. The concept of “Mashups” surrounds a model whereby a single client RIA may actually provide a view composed by binding data from multiple sources persisting in multiple domains across many tiers. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sGCKu_R5zdU/T4R9PIWZp5I/AAAAAAAABK0/eaQ-KoRDxZ8/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+11.34.10+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sGCKu_R5zdU/T4R9PIWZp5I/AAAAAAAABK0/eaQ-KoRDxZ8/s320/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+11.34.10+AM.png" width="266" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Figure 2.4 – a decomposition of the Interaction Model (courtesy of OASIS Reference Model for SOA)</i></span></div> <br /> As depicted in Figure 2.4, the interaction model can be further decomposed into a data model and behavior model. The data model is present in all service instances. Even if the value is “null”, the service is still deemed to have a data model. The data models are strongly linked to the behavior models. For example, in a Request-Response behavior model, the corresponding data model would have two components – the input (service Request) data model and the output (service Response) data model. Data models may be further specialized to match the behavior model if it is other than “Request-Response”.<br /> <br /> The behavior model is decomposable into the action model and the process model. The sequence of messages flowing into and out of the service is captured in the action model while the service’s 5processing of those signals is captured in the processing model. The processing model is potentially confusing as some aspects of it may remain invisible to external entities and its inner working known only to the service provider.<br /> <br /> <h4 style="text-align: left;"> 3.0 A Reference Architecture for Service Oriented Architecture</h4> <br /> A reference architecture is a more concrete artifact used by architects. Unlike the reference model, it can introduce additional details and concepts to provide a more complete picture for those who may implement a particular class. Reference architectures declare details that would be in all instances of a certain class, much like an abstract constructor class in programming. Each subsequent architecture designed from the reference architecture would be specialized for a specific set of requirements. Reference architectures often introduce concepts such as cardinality, structure, infrastructure, and other types of binary relationship details. Accordingly, reference models do not have service providers and consumers. If they did, then a reference model would have infrastructure (between the two concrete entities) and it would not longer be a model.<br /> <br /> The reference model and the reference architecture are intended to be part of a set of guiding artifacts that are used with patterns. Architects can use these artifacts in conjunction with others to compose their own SOA. The relationships are depicted in Figure 3.1. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-giunfvlxUw4/T4R9h0n6OpI/AAAAAAAABK8/SBI-ysdnE7E/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+11.35.33+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="317" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-giunfvlxUw4/T4R9h0n6OpI/AAAAAAAABK8/SBI-ysdnE7E/s400/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+11.35.33+AM.png" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Figure 3.1 – The architectural framework for SOA (Courtesy of OASIS).</span></i></div> <br /> The concepts and relationships defined by the reference model are intended to be the basis for describing reference architectures that will define more specific categories of SOA designs. Specifically, these specialized architectures will enable solution patterns to solve particular problems. Concrete architectures may be developed based upon a combination of reference architectures, architectural patterns, and additional requirements, including those imposed by technology environments. Architecture is not done in isolation; it must account for the goals, motivation, and requirements that define the actual problems being addressed. While reference architectures can form the basis of classes of solutions, concrete architectures will define specific solution approaches.<br /> <br /> Architects and developers also need to bind their own SOA to concrete standards technologies and protocols at some point. These are typically part of the requirements process. For example, when building a highly efficient client side Mashup application, a developer might opt for the ActionScript Messaging Format (AMF)&nbsp;to provide the most efficient communication between remote services and the client .<br /> <br /> <b>Neutrality</b><br /> <br /> The reference architecture shown in Figure 3.2 is not tied to any specific technologies, standards, or protocols. In fact, it would be equally applicable to a .NET&nbsp;or J2EE&nbsp;environment and can be used with either the Web Service family of technologies, plain old XML-RPC (XML – Remote Procedure Call), or a proprietary set of standards. This reference architecture allows developers to make decisions and adopt technologies that are best suited to their specific requirements.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RlQoIar7QtE/T4R98l3AAeI/AAAAAAAABLE/BlOCmX42IcI/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+11.37.16+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RlQoIar7QtE/T4R98l3AAeI/AAAAAAAABLE/BlOCmX42IcI/s400/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+11.37.16+AM.png" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i><br /></i></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Figure 3.2 – A generic SOA Reference Architecture for implementing core Web 2.0 design patterns </i></span></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(Courtesy of O’Reilly Media)</i></span></div> <br /> <h4 style="text-align: left;"> 3.1 Service Tier</h4> The server side component of the reference architecture has a number of commonly used components. The Service Provider Interface is the main integration point whereby service providers connect to capabilities that exist in internal systems in order to expose them as services. These internal applications typically reside in a resource tier, a virtual collection of capabilities that become exposed as services so consumers can access their functionality. Service providers may integrate such capabilities using numerous mechanisms, including using other services. In most cases, an enterprise will use the Application Programmatic Interface (API) of the system as provided by the application vendor.<br /> <br /> The <b>Service Invocation Layer </b>is where services are invoked. A service may be invoked when an external messages being received or, alternatively, it can be invoked by an internal system or by a non-message based event (such as a time out). It is essential to understand that services may be invoked via messages from multiple sets of standards and protocols working together. Common examples of external service interface endpoints include: <br /> <br /> • Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX),<br /> • Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP),<br /> • XML Remote Procedure Call (XML-RPC),<br /> • a watched folder being polled for content,<br /> • an email endpoint, and<br /> • other <a href="http://technoracle.blogspot.ca/2009/04/understanding-rest.html">REST</a>(viii)&nbsp;style endpoints including plain old HTTP and HTTP/S.<br /> <br /> Services may also be invoked by local consumers including environments like J2EE and language specific interfaces (for example - Plain Old Java Objects or POJO’s).<br /> <br /> Each service invocation is often handed to a new instance of a service container. The service container is responsible for handling the service invocation request for its entire lifecycle, until either it reaches a successful conclusion or failed end state. Regardless of its ultimate end state, the service container may also delegate responsibilities for certain aspects of the service’s runtime to other services for common tasks. These tasks typically include logging functions, archiving, security, and authentication, among others.<br /> <br /> To facilitate orchestration and aggregation of services into processes and composite applications, a registry-repository is often used. During the process design phase, the registry-repository provides a single view of all services and related artifacts. The repository provides a persistence mechanism for artifacts during the runtime of processes and workflows. If multiple system actors use and interact with a form, the repository can persist it while allowing access to privileged individuals.<br /> <br /> Design, development and governance tools are also commonly used by humans to deploy, monitor, and aggregate multiple services into more complex processes and applications. <h4 style="text-align: left;"> <br />3.2 Client Tier</h4> <br /> While much attention has been focused on the server side aspects of SOA, less has been written about the new breed of clients evolving for consuming services. The clients have evolved to embrace many common architecture and design patterns discussed in greater detail in the next section. A highly visible example of this is the ability of most modern browsers to subscribe to RSS feeds.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9zV8XI19soc/T4R_J5lQkSI/AAAAAAAABLM/nThovtVMZaw/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+11.42.32+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="98" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9zV8XI19soc/T4R_J5lQkSI/AAAAAAAABLM/nThovtVMZaw/s400/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+11.42.32+AM.png" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Figure 3.3 – client application architecture</i></span></div> <br /> As depicted in Figure 3.3, clients must have far more robust communications services than a decade ago. In fact, any communication standards, protocols and technologies (such as SOAP), ActionScript Messaging Format, or XML-RPC) have to be implemented on both sides to facilitate proper communications. Client side communications buses also need to monitor the state of communications including potentially both synchronous and asynchronous exchange patterns.<br /> <br /> The main controller of each client application must be capable of launching various runtime environments. This is typically done via launching one or more virtual machines that can interpret scripting languages or consume bytecode as in Adobe Flash. The architecture for these virtual machines varies greatly depending upon the language used. Some compile an intermediate level bytecode just in time to run a program while others must be launched and make. <br /> <br /> <a href="http://technoracle.blogspot.ca/2009/04/understanding-rest.html">Representational State Transfer (REST) </a>is an important component of Roy Fielding’s Dissertation<br /> Architectural Styles and the Design of Network-based Software Architectures -<br /> <a href="http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/top.htm">http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/top.htm</a><br /> <br /> The Simple Object Access Protocol is a W3C Recommendation - http://www.w3.org/TR/soap/ multiple passes over a script (usually once to check it for errors, another time to run the script, and a concurrent iteration to collect garbage and free up memory as it becomes possible to <br /> reallocate.<br /> <br /> Most modern clients have some form of <b>data persistence</b> and <b>state management</b>. Data persistence is not always done using a traditional database. Increasingly, NoSQL Graph Databases are being used to store nodes which offer greater flexibility and scalability, as well as increased performance. This usually works in conjunction with the clients’ communications services to allow the controller to use cached resources rather than attempting to synchronize states if communications are down. Additionally, rendering and media functionality specific to one or more languages is used to ensure the view of the application is built in accordance with the intentions of the application developer.<br /> <br /> The security models used by different clients also vary somewhat. The usual tenets are to prevent unauthorized and undetected manipulation of local resources. In distributed computing architectures, identity (knowing who and what) is a major problem that requires a complex architecture to address. Each client side application must be architected in accordance with the acceptable level of risk based on the user requirements. <br /> <br /> <h4 style="text-align: left;"> 3.3 Architectural Conventions spanning multiple tiers</h4> <br /> While examining the client and service tiers of the reference architecture, developers will note some commonalities. Architects need to employ common models for determining what constitutes an object, what constitutes an event, how an event gets noticed or captured, what constitutes a change in state, and more. As a result, architecture must take note of several common architectural models over all tiers of modern SOAs.<br /> <br /> First and foremost, the core axioms of service oriented architecture should be observed. Services themselves should be treated as subservient to the higher level system or systems that use them. If you are deploying services to be part of an automated process management system, the services themselves should not know (or care) what they are being used for. <br /> <br /> Services that are designed otherwise are architecturally inelegant for a number of reasons. First, if services were required to know the state of the overall process, state misalignment would likely result if two services had differing states for even a fraction of a second. In such instances, errors might be thrown when this is detected or worse, developers would have to rely on using a series of synchronous calls to services rather than forking a process into asynchronous calls. As depicted in Figure 3.4, services should remain agnostic to what they are used for. The state of a process or other application using services should be kept within the higher layer of logic that uses consumers to invoke the services.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bqfXTz7fkWs/T4SAQFWAgUI/AAAAAAAABLU/tfDSDOoohqE/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+11.46.22+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="158" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bqfXTz7fkWs/T4SAQFWAgUI/AAAAAAAABLU/tfDSDOoohqE/s400/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+11.46.22+AM.png" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Figure 3.4 – services within overall architecture</i></span></div> <br /> Second, if the overall process stalled or failed for some reason, each service used would have to&nbsp;be notified and rolled back to a previous state. Having services maintain or store the overall state of a process that uses more than one service is an anti-pattern of SOA and should be avoided.<br /> <br /> Another core architectural convention is to keep the service consumers agnostic to how the services are delivering their functionality. This results in a clean decoupling of components, another architecturally elegant feature of modern service oriented systems. Having dependencies on knowing the internal working of the services functionality is another anti-pattern of SOA and should also be avoided.<br /> <br /> Service composition, the act of building an application out of multiple services, is likewise an anti-pattern of SOA, if composition is defined as per Unified Modeling Language (UML) 2.0. Composition is depicted as a “has a” relationship and the whole is composed of the parts. The correct terminology should be service aggregation. Aggregation is a “uses a” type of relationship. The differences are quite subtle but nevertheless important to grasp. In composition relationships, the life cycles of parts are tied to the lifecycle of the whole and when the whole no longer exists, the parts no longer exist either. In aggregation, the parts exist independent of the whole and can go on living after the entity that uses them no longer exists. This terminology is common within both OOPSLA&nbsp;and UML. Regardless, the term “service composition” has been misused widely within the computer industry and will likely prevail as a norm. Architects and developers should pay close attention to the types of binary relationships between components in loosely coupled, distributed systems and bear these definitions in mind.<br /> <br /> <h4 style="text-align: left;"> 3.4 Events</h4> <br /> Architects and developers using the reference architecture within this paper should also consider the event architecture. Events often must be detected and acted upon. Each specific programming language has a form of event architecture for detection, dispatching messages, and capturing and linking behaviors to events. The main challenge presented in distributed, service oriented systems is that the event model must traverse multiple environments and possibly span multiple domains. Detecting an event in one domain, dispatching a message to a remote system and linking the event to an action in a virtual machine running on the remote system presents multiple challenges. Architects and developers must often bridge disparate systems. Having a common model used by all systems makes the traversal of systems much easier for developers and architects alike.<br /> <br /> <h4 style="text-align: left;"> 3.5 Objects</h4> In much the same way they treat events, each disparate environment in a distributed service oriented environment might have a distinct notion of what constitutes an object. Relying on programming environments and languages that are aligned conceptually with respect to objects (that is, “object-oriented”) makes the work of architects and developers much easier. Languages such as JavaScript (specifically JavaScript Object Notation or JSON), Java, ActionScript, and others have alignment on object concepts. (Note: ECMA’s ActionScript 3.0 is much more object-oriented than previous incarnations and is strongly tied to Java). When a developer must implement a pattern where an object’s state must be tracked in a remote location and action taken upon a state change on the object, a common model for object and encapsulation is important.<br /> <br /> <h4 style="text-align: left;"> 3.6 Architectural Patterns</h4> As noted in the reference architecture in Figure 3.1, architecture and design patterns are an important aspect of any architecture. <br /> <br /> Patterns are recurring solutions to recurring problems. A pattern is composed of a problem, the context in which the problem occurs, and the solution to resolve this problem. The focus of a documented software architecture pattern is to illustrate a model to capture the structural organization of a system, relate that to its requirements and highlight the key relationships between entities within the system.<br /> <br /> Patterns can be classified into three broad&nbsp;categories:<br /> <br /> <b>Architecture patterns</b><br /> <br /> Architecture patterns are high level patterns on how systems are laid out and how large systems are divided. These typically account for the major components, their externally visible properties, the major functionality of each component, and the relationships between them.<br /> <br /> <b>Design patterns</b><br /> <br /> Design patterns provide a scheme for refining the subsystems or components of a software system, and the relationships between them. They describe a commonly recurring structure of communicating components that solves a general design problem within a specific context.<br /> <br /> <b>Idioms</b><br /> <br /> Idioms are the lowest-level patterns and may be specific to a programming language. An idiom guides the implementation aspects of components and the relationships between them, using features specific to a given language or environment. <br /> <br /> The modern day concept of patterns evolved from work by Christopher Alexander, the primary author of a book called “A Pattern Language”&nbsp;(xiii)&nbsp;which had a great influence on object-oriented <br /> programming. The basic concept of the book was a realization that patterns are the same when architecting a city, a block, a house and a room. Each of these entities employs similar patterns. The concepts of patterns in software architecture have been widely adopted since being modified by the infamous Gang of Four&nbsp;and are now an accepted part of the engineering trade. &nbsp;There are also many industry standards and pseudo standards for architectural patterns meta models including the <a href="http://www.nickull.net/work/MacKenzie-Nickull_ArchitecturalPatternsReferenceModel-v0.91.pdf">MacKenzie-Nickull Meta-model for Architectural Patterns</a>, which is widely used today.<br /> <h4 style="text-align: left;"> 4.0 Data and Message Exchange Patterns for Enterprise SOA</h4> The most basic message exchange pattern is a common Request-Response where the parties can simply communicate with each other. This is the basic building block of most SOA interactions and is depicted below.<br /> <h4 style="text-align: left;"> 4.1 Request-Response</h4> Request-Response is a pattern in which the service consumer uses configured client software to issue an invocation request to a service provided by the service provider. The request results in an optional response, as shown in Figure 4-1.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gqKAeaRgoeo/T4SBee8UoSI/AAAAAAAABLc/DP7PWGlUkts/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+11.52.26+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="137" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gqKAeaRgoeo/T4SBee8UoSI/AAAAAAAABLc/DP7PWGlUkts/s400/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+11.52.26+AM.png" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Figure 4-1. SOA Request-Response pattern</i></span></div> <br /> <h4 style="text-align: left;"> 4.2 Request-Response via Service Registry (or Directory)</h4> An optional service registry can be used within the architecture to help the client automatically configure certain aspects of its service client. The service provider pushes changes regarding the service’s details to the registry to which the consumer has subscribed. When the changes are made, the service consumer is notified of these changes and can configure its service client to talk to the service. This is represented conceptually in Figure 4-2.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aZkSLhEtBu0/T4SBsUmd4vI/AAAAAAAABLk/TdaWARD25nw/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+11.53.19+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="192" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aZkSLhEtBu0/T4SBsUmd4vI/AAAAAAAABLk/TdaWARD25nw/s400/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+11.53.19+AM.png" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Figure 4-2. SOA Request-Response pattern with a service registry</i></span></div> <br /> <h4 style="text-align: left;"> 4.3 Subscribe-Push</h4> <br /> A third pattern for interaction is called Subscribe-Push, shown in Figure 4-3. In this pattern, one or more clients register subscriptions with a service to receive messages based on some criteria. Regardless of the criteria, the externally visible pattern remains the same. Subscriptions may remain in effect over long periods before being canceled or revoked. A subscription may, in some cases, also register another service endpoint to receive notifications. For example, an emergency management system may notify all fire stations in the event of a major earthquake using a common language such as the OASIS&nbsp;Common Alerting Protocol (CAP)(x v i).<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XpaRA9YkdkI/T4SC28fyd2I/AAAAAAAABLs/ft2LEDXz7kY/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+11.58.11+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="202" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-XpaRA9YkdkI/T4SC28fyd2I/AAAAAAAABLs/ft2LEDXz7kY/s400/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+11.58.11+AM.png" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Figure 4-3. SOA Subscribe-Push pattern</i></span></div> Note that this pattern can be triggered by a multitude of events. In figure 4-3, an auditable event is triggering a message being sent to a subscribed client. The trigger could be a service consumer’s action, a timeout action, or a number of other actions that are not listed in the example above. Each of these represents a specialization of the <b>Subscribe-Push</b> pattern. This particular pattern is becoming dominent in mobile application development that uses SOA principles. &nbsp;Often a user has an application and the application pushes a notification to the user when a new piece of data or event is available that the user has expressed an interest in.<br /> <h4 style="text-align: left;"> 4.4 Probe and Match</h4> A pattern used for discovery of services is the Probe and Match pattern. In this variation, shown in Figure 4-4, a single client may multicast or broadcast a message to several endpoints on a single fabric, prompting them to respond based on certain criteria. For example, this pattern may be used to determine whether large numbers of servers on a server farm are capable of handling more traffic by checking if they are scaled at less than 50% capacity. This variation of the SOA message exchange pattern may also be used to locate specific services. There are caveats with using such a pattern, as it may become bandwidth-intensive if used often. Utilizing a registry or another centralized metadata facility may be a better option because the registry interaction does not require sending the prob e() messages to all endpoints to find one. By convention, they allow the query to locate the endpoint using a filter query or other search algorithm. <br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-APj-wM0iQwc/T4SDTjvdwBI/AAAAAAAABL0/V1uZIhyAyXo/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+12.00.15+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-APj-wM0iQwc/T4SDTjvdwBI/AAAAAAAABL0/V1uZIhyAyXo/s400/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+12.00.15+PM.png" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Figure 4-4. SOA Probe and Match pattern</i></span></div> <br /> In the <b>Probe and Match </b>scenario in Figure 4-4, the service client probes three services, yet only the middle one returns an associated match() message. A hybrid approach could use the best of both the registry and the probe and match models for locating service endpoints. In the future, registry software could implement a probe interface to allow service location without requiring wire transactions going to all endpoints and the searching mechanism could probe multiple registries at the same time.<br /> <h4 style="text-align: left;"> 4.5 Patterns for RIAs</h4> Creating Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) requires a level of data management that goes beyond the traditional Request-Response model. Providing a richer, more expressive experience often requires more data-intensive interaction and introduces new challenges in managing data between the client and server tiers.<br /> <br /> Data synchronization is a key concept and requires states to be shared among multiple machines. These are usually the clients who have subscribed to the state of an object somewhere within the tier of a distributed system as depicted in Figure 4.5.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lJNpq2NHOM0/T4SDlWIWAvI/AAAAAAAABL8/3NOupda8FGk/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+12.01.27+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="376" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lJNpq2NHOM0/T4SDlWIWAvI/AAAAAAAABL8/3NOupda8FGk/s400/Screen+Shot+2012-04-10+at+12.01.27+PM.png" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>Figure 4.5 – data synchronization across multiple clients (courtesy James Ward).</i></span></div> <h4 style="text-align: left;"> 4.6 Data paging</h4> Some services automatically facilitate the paging of large data sets, enabling developers to focus on core application business logic instead of worrying about basic data management infrastructure. Modern service oriented clients and server infrastructures automatically handle temporary disconnects, ensuring reliable delivery of data to and from the client application. &nbsp;Data paging is built into the model used by Neo4J and Mongo.db. &nbsp;Being graph databases, you can start by examining a specific node of data, then request incremental pieces of data based on your use case for the data. <h4 style="text-align: left;"> 4.7 Data push</h4> Some services offer data-push capability, enabling data to automatically be pushed to the client application without polling (contrast this pattern to the “Subscribe-Push pattern listed above). This can be done via intuitive or inference methods to ensure data is provided as required. This highly scalable capability can push data to thousands of concurrent users, providing up-to-the-second views of critical data, such as stock trader applications, live resource monitoring, shop floor automation, and more.<br /> <br /> Data push can be further specialized into broadcast, unicast, multicast, and several other specializations of the basic pattern.<br /> <h4 style="text-align: left;"> 5.0 A Final Word</h4> This white paper has been prepared to share ideas about data interaction patterns within SOA and to illustrate some common concepts with a service oriented environment.

This is a question we had to answer while at Adobe but somehow the way this question is answered now has changed from an Uberity perspective. We find ourselves describing it in terms of business capabilities and value rather than the technology itself. Nevertheless, if you want to know what LiveCycle is, this blog post should provide a solid background.</div> <div style="; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> LiveCycle is an enterprise software system that solves problems pertaining to mass scale processing of Portable Document Format (PDF) documents. While individual users of PDF’s tend to use Adobe Acrobat or Reader for working with PDF, LiveCycle is meant to aid the processing of tens of thousands of LiveCycle PDF documents. Hence, it is an enterprise solution that anyone who currently uses paper forms should look at if they are wanting to streamline the ingestion of data from forms. Likewise, it had many modules that can mitigate problems around PDF such as document security (think of Wiki-leaks).</div> <div style="; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> LiveCycle itself is comprised of several components. We’ll walk through each of these components one at a time. the main component is akin to what many call an Enterprise Service Bus or ESB for short. This includes a set of common services, a common environment of service execution, a registry-repository system, workflow and storage components to name a few components. LiveCycle ES installs as a server and the server can bind to many different types of common enterprise infrastructure components including directories (LDAP for example).

Here is a brief rundown. &nbsp;The following is not an exhaustive list, rather an example to help explain what LiveCycle is.</div> <div style="; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"> Forms ES – this module can be licensed to automate just about every aspect of forms processing. &nbsp;The ability to save money over paper forms is astounding.</div> <div style="; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

Here is a photo from a recent test track section of one of the first routes to be run along Pacific Boulevard. &nbsp;This rute will be coupled with Science world.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;

We will keep a clean IP trail. </b>&nbsp;Uberity is developing some very interesting intellectual property we feel will be required by most small to medium sized enterprises as they move to mobile in the next 5 years. &nbsp;Without divulging the details of what we are building, one thing I can promise is that the entire IP development process will be documented from start to finish. &nbsp;Every single person who comes into contact with our technology will sign an NDA and/or IP invention agreement (and he fairly compensated for anything they contribute). &nbsp;This is important if your overall exist strategy is to be bought out by a larger company. &nbsp;Startups need to realize that larger companies often have very skilled legal business units who know what is required to ensure the company acquiring the startup does not expose themselves to undue risk. &nbsp;Startups need to document and record every step of IP development and ensure they are thorough.<br /> <br /> <b>2. Ensure you understand your fellow startup team's personal desires and goals.</b> &nbsp;Understanding what motivates them and what they seek out of life is very important to understand how they imagine themselves working for the startup over the next decade. &nbsp;The people at Uberity are like my brothers and sisters from a different mother. I know them, I know what they like and don't like. &nbsp;I trust them and would follow them into battle. &nbsp;They are your company, not the IP. &nbsp;Treat them with immense respect and it shall be returned. &nbsp;Set examples and constantly check in with them to see if the startup is matching their expectations.<br /> <br /> <b>3. Be ethical.</b> &nbsp;Just today, I worked with a client and solved a very technical issue in about three hours. &nbsp;There is a huge implied trust in the professional services relationship that I see violated time after time by&nbsp;unscrupulous&nbsp;companies figuring they can invoice people for extra hours and they will never find out. &nbsp;I have news for you. &nbsp;Even if they do not find out, you are really ruining your own reputation. &nbsp;Uberity under-promises and over-delivers on every contract. &nbsp;By doing this, we get repeat customers. &nbsp;If a company is unethical, it will come out in the long term. &nbsp;We are committed to being ethical in our entire customer relationships. &nbsp;We have even done some smaller jobs where we did not bill as the time it took us to solve the problem was too minimal to even consider billing. &nbsp;This does not imply weakness however. &nbsp;We are ethical, we plan to be in business a long time. &nbsp;We will not compromise this, no matter how tempting. &nbsp;We also pay for software that we use to make money with. &nbsp;We believe that a little honesty goes a long way in business and plan to make it a core part of our existence.<br /> <br /> <b>4. Don't be afraid to walk away.</b> &nbsp;We had an original plan to pursue a business model whereby people could post tasks and others could respond to them, perform them and get paid. &nbsp;After performing weeks of due diligence, we discovered that these companies are likely not even earning revenue that would cover the interest for the funds VC's invested into them for a year. &nbsp;After validating, re-validating, we decided to walk away and were prepared to re-assess our core beliefs and mission. &nbsp;These other companies will probably succeed in the long term, we just feel we can make more revenue for less effort doing other things. &nbsp;It takes a mature person to admit they had wrong perceptions and be willing to walk away as opposed to being pressured into sticking with a bad idea until it goes into a death spiral. &nbsp;I am grateful to have partners in Uberity that are wise enough to understand this, powerful enough to embrace this and courageous enough to make changes when others might not have.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tLOT45836Vc/T1VQMgS6DLI/AAAAAAAABJI/LgHgpJaqu4I/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-03-06+at+12.41.25+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="217" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tLOT45836Vc/T1VQMgS6DLI/AAAAAAAABJI/LgHgpJaqu4I/s320/Screen+Shot+2012-03-06+at+12.41.25+AM.png" width="320" /></a></div> <br /> <b>5. Build a business plan and answer the tough questions. </b>&nbsp;A business plan is not just to show investors, it helps put everyone in the company on the same page. &nbsp;We got together and worked out what was required and what needs to be documented. &nbsp;We are working on our business plan and it is hard. &nbsp;It is very tempting to come across a tough question and think "I can just not address this now" however the reality is that the tough questions have to be answered.<br /> <br /> Maybe none of this is new to you. &nbsp;My hope is that someone writing a startup will see this and it will save you time and effort. &nbsp;Uberity is not just about making money. &nbsp;We are part of the technology community. &nbsp;Our contributions are given freely with no warranty or accuracy or value. &nbsp;Feel free to use or disregard this data however you wish.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Original post at <a href="http://technoracle.blogspot.com">http://technoracle.blogspot.com</a><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17460203-9082807895090834185?l=technoracle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/NUcQv/~4/eOaBwhKXsDo" height="1" width="1"/> id tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17460203.post-9082807895090834185 link Stomach Contents: Structure - array 1 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/NUcQv/~3/eOaBwhKXsDo/uberity-five-important-lessons-for.html rel alternate title Uberity - Five important lessons for startups type text/html 2 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://technoracle.blogspot.com/feeds/9082807895090834185/comments/default rel replies title Post Comments type application/atom+xml 3 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://technoracle.blogspot.com/2012/03/uberity-five-important-lessons-for.html#comment-form rel replies title 2 Comments type text/html 4 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17460203/posts/default/9082807895090834185?v=2 rel edit type application/atom+xml 5 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17460203/posts/default/9082807895090834185?v=2 rel self type application/atom+xml published 2012-03-05T23:53:00Z title Stomach Contents: Structure - struct value Uberity - Five important lessons for startups updated 2012-03-05T23:53:46Z 17 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct author Stomach Contents: Structure - array 1 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct email noreply@blogger.com name Duane "Chaos" Nickull uri http://www.blogger.com/profile/08767498160563891543 content Stomach Contents: Structure - array 1 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct type html value <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/XVrplJDRKVmxrX-nT8plV7M7fmw/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/XVrplJDRKVmxrX-nT8plV7M7fmw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/XVrplJDRKVmxrX-nT8plV7M7fmw/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/XVrplJDRKVmxrX-nT8plV7M7fmw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> My friend David Wolpe recently launched a cool little mobile application that can definitely save you more grief than the $0.99 it costs. &nbsp;ApologyWiz (Android: &nbsp;<span class="s2"><a href="http://bit.ly/y8ISQi">http://bit.ly/y8ISQi</a>&nbsp;and iOS&nbsp;</span><a href="http://bit.ly/zWuSNY">http://bit.ly/zWuSNY</a>)<span class="s2">&nbsp;</span>has already helped me when I was helping a clerk who was hopeless at copying down the data I gave her for each question she asked me. &nbsp;The response "I'm terribly sorry I am always right". &nbsp;She laughed.<br /> <br /> The apologies are chosen based on either a manually sift through the massive array of apologies (many of them funny enough to keep you rolling in laughter) or use the built in device accelerometer to allow it to find one for you. &nbsp;This is version one and it works. &nbsp;For the future versions it would be cool to have categories and maybe a way for crowd-sourcing apologies and also excuses. &nbsp;I have a few of the latter to contribute but my all time favorite is "it was like that when I got here" which covers just about everything.<br /> <br /> Great job David - I cannot wait to see more from you!<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both;

If you are interest in this topic, read the document entitled <a href="http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/whitepapers/roadmap.html">Adobe's view of Flex and its commitments to Flex in the future</a>.<br /> <br /> <br /> then scan forward to the Flash Runtimes Roadmap at <br /> <a href="http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/flashplatform/whitepapers/flash-runtimes-roadmap.pdf">http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/flashplatform/whitepapers/flash-runtimes-roadmap.pdf</a>&nbsp;(skip forward to the top of page 3. &nbsp;That is where the content actually starts talking about the runtimes roadmap).</div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Original post at <a href="http://technoracle.blogspot.com">http://technoracle.blogspot.com</a><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17460203-3799348808057946867?l=technoracle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/NUcQv/~4/Kd5UIJPjeIA" height="1" width="1"/> id tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17460203.post-3799348808057946867 link Stomach Contents: Structure - array 1 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/NUcQv/~3/Kd5UIJPjeIA/apache-launches-new-official-flex-logo.html rel alternate title Apache Launches the new official Flex Logo type text/html 2 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://technoracle.blogspot.com/feeds/3799348808057946867/comments/default rel replies title Post Comments type application/atom+xml 3 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://technoracle.blogspot.com/2012/02/apache-launches-new-official-flex-logo.html#comment-form rel replies title 2 Comments type text/html 4 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17460203/posts/default/3799348808057946867?v=2 rel edit type application/atom+xml 5 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17460203/posts/default/3799348808057946867?v=2 rel self type application/atom+xml published 2012-02-24T17:43:00Z title Stomach Contents: Structure - struct value Apache Launches the new official Flex Logo updated 2012-02-24T17:43:45Z 20 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct author Stomach Contents: Structure - array 1 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct email noreply@blogger.com name Duane "Chaos" Nickull uri http://www.blogger.com/profile/08767498160563891543 category Stomach Contents: Structure - array 1 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct scheme http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns# term Mobile Enterprise Application Platform 2 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct scheme http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns# term SaaS 3 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct scheme http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns# term Merchant processing accounts 4 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct scheme http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns# term mobile payment gateways 5 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct scheme http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns# term MEAP 6 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct scheme http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns# term acronyms 7 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct scheme http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns# term soa content Stomach Contents: Structure - array 1 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct type html value <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/yYd-PY2JouiuZUslQB58eNg0YFw/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/yYd-PY2JouiuZUslQB58eNg0YFw/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/yYd-PY2JouiuZUslQB58eNg0YFw/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/yYd-PY2JouiuZUslQB58eNg0YFw/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> MEAP's are going to be the new *aaS. &nbsp;If you don't understand that statement, consider yourself blessed. You may feel like you need a <a href="http://www.computerforensicsdegrees.org/">computer forensics&nbsp;degree</a> to understand it all. &nbsp;Understanding technology industry analysts and acronyms is a difficult task. A relatively new category of Gartner Magic Quadrants have emerged one one in particular is a category that we think deserves a lot of attention. &nbsp;<b><i>Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms</i></b> are not typical software like your daddy used to buy. &nbsp;MEAP's are collections of services and components (including frameworks, profiles, libraries and more) that facilitate the types of functionality required to develop and maintain applications running on wireless devices (aka mobile devices).<br /> <br /> Now I don't subscribe to hype and BS and neither should you. &nbsp;As the former chair of the <a href="http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=soa-rm">OASIS Service Oriented Architecture Technical Committee</a>, the group that produced the standard reference model for SOA, I never anticipated that people would run with this and start all these <b>(INSERT ANY CAPITAL LETTER FROM THE ALPHABET HERE)aaS</b>. &nbsp;Software as a Service (SaaS) is not really that different from hosted solutions is it? &nbsp;If you disagree, you'd better hurry and claim one while there are still letters left for acronyms. &nbsp;I think XaaS is not used yet.<br /> <br /> When I see value though, I want to point it out. &nbsp;MEAP is one of those rare acronyms that seems to be vastly underestimated by the majority of the industry. &nbsp;The term itself seems to have come from Analyst firm Gartner in a paper published in April 2011 (Gartner, Magic Quadrant for Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms, Michael J. King, William Clark). I believe I read somewhere that Gartner believes over 95% of the technology industry will use some form of MEAP by 2012. &nbsp;When I try to research this topic on Google, very little information comes up. &nbsp;Regardless of the title, let's explore what a MEAP is and what it does.<br /> <br /> In their paper, "The rule of three" is used as a quantifier for identifying when this functionality might be of interest. &nbsp; Quoting from Gartner (via Wikipedia):<br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <i>The Rule of Three refers to a concept developed by analyst firm Gartner, whereby companies are encouraged to consider the MEAP approach to mobility when they need their mobile solutions to:</i><br /> <ul style="text-align: left;"> <li><i>Support three or more mobile applications</i>&nbsp;</li> </ul> </blockquote> <blockquote class="tr_bq"> <ul style="text-align: left;"> <li><i>Support three or more mobile operating systems (OS)</i></li> </ul> <ul style="text-align: left;"> <li><i>Integrate with at least three back-end data sources</i></li> </ul> <i>According to Gartner, using a common mobility platform, like a MEAP, brings considerable savings and strategic advantages in this situation.</i></blockquote> This helps frame the problem that MEAP's are trying to solve. &nbsp;The ability to support these patterns requires a common set of "<b><i>things</i></b>". These "<b><i>things</i></b>" enable several common patterns of enterprise architecture to mobile device communication. &nbsp;Some of the more common patterns are:<br /> <ul style="text-align: left;"> <li><b><a href="http://www.apple.com/ipad/business/integration/mdm/">Mobile Device Management </a>(MDM)</b> - manages, monitors and secures distrubuted mobile environments.&nbsp;</li> <li><b>Multiple&nbsp;<a href="http://wso2.org/library/335">Message Exchange Patterns</a></b> such as <b>Push Notifications</b> that are respect end users data plans and battery life.</li> <li><b>Advanced Security Features </b>such as remote session management and data wipes. &nbsp;These are sometimes viewed as part of MDM.</li> <li><b>Mobile Payment Gateway Services</b> - services that can access a&nbsp;<a href="http://www.chargenational.com/ca/en/merchant-account/">Merchant Processing Account</a>&nbsp;and extend that functionality via the MEAP to the mobile environment.</li> <li><b>Analytics</b> of user interactions.</li> <li><b>Temporal-Spatial Capabilities</b> - the ability to work with geocoded and location graphs</li> <li><b>User Administration</b> and management</li> <li><b>Data Synchronization </b>when mobile devices become re-connected to networks.</li> <li><b>Data Transformations</b> to facilitate existing data being marshaled into formats that are optimized for mobile such as JSON or even HTML5 for mobile websites.</li> <li><b>Data Persistence</b> usually on both the mobile device and the server side.</li> </ul> This is by no means an exhaustive list of items. &nbsp;Uberity will be writing some more about this topic in coming weeks. It is clear to use that some, if not all of these components, will be of interest to a large number of customers.<br /> <br /> One last word. &nbsp;I don't want to ever see someone pitching "MEAPaaS" but sadly I know it will probably happen.<br /> <br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Original post at <a href="http://technoracle.blogspot.com">http://technoracle.blogspot.com</a><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17460203-4839958596089803359?l=technoracle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/NUcQv/~4/v37Qqhqm0Uc" height="1" width="1"/> id tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17460203.post-4839958596089803359 link Stomach Contents: Structure - array 1 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/NUcQv/~3/v37Qqhqm0Uc/understanding-meap-mobile-enterprise.html rel alternate title Understanding MEAP - Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms type text/html 2 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://technoracle.blogspot.com/feeds/4839958596089803359/comments/default rel replies title Post Comments type application/atom+xml 3 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://technoracle.blogspot.com/2012/02/understanding-meap-mobile-enterprise.html#comment-form rel replies title 0 Comments type text/html 4 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17460203/posts/default/4839958596089803359?v=2 rel edit type application/atom+xml 5 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17460203/posts/default/4839958596089803359?v=2 rel self type application/atom+xml published 2012-02-10T18:48:00Z title Stomach Contents: Structure - struct value Understanding MEAP - Mobile Enterprise Application Platforms updated 2012-03-13T17:27:05Z 21 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct author Stomach Contents: Structure - array 1 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct email noreply@blogger.com name Duane "Chaos" Nickull uri http://www.blogger.com/profile/08767498160563891543 category Stomach Contents: Structure - array 1 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct scheme http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns# term asinine 2 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct scheme http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns# term delusional 3 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct scheme http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns# term surreal 4 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct scheme http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns# term patent troll content Stomach Contents: Structure - array 1 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct type html value <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/fBTO3RxOnETNX2KLYuSKM_bsYTg/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/fBTO3RxOnETNX2KLYuSKM_bsYTg/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/fBTO3RxOnETNX2KLYuSKM_bsYTg/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/fBTO3RxOnETNX2KLYuSKM_bsYTg/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">At the risk of being sued myself, I find I have to really speak out about this news story. &nbsp;Found on <a href="http://tech.slashdot.org/submission/1935625/patent-troll-claims-ownership-of-interactive-web?sdsrc=rel">SlashDot</a> and after some research, it appears that Michael Doyle and Eola Technologies are suing what will inevitably be any one who uses the internet or deploys a networked coputer product.

Virtualization, defined as when the logical network topography no longer aligns with the physical topography, has been a trend in recent years. &nbsp;With the advent of SOA, many businesses were easily lead down the path of "who cares how long the wire is" and "does it really matter where my data is physically located". &nbsp;The mainstream media regards the movement as "Cloud Computing" and the tech industry has been very quick to push this as a solution on many who have not fully understood the potential consequences.<br /> <br /> This month, a nightmare scenario has surfaced that may have lasting repercussions for cloud users. &nbsp;As reported from <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505245_162-57368019/feds-megaupload-user-data-could-be-gone-thursday/?tag=mncol;txt">Associated Press</a>, American&nbsp;prosecutors blocked access to <a href="http://www.megaupload.com/">Megaupload</a> and charged seven men alleging the site was a catalyst for allowing illegal downloads of&nbsp;copy written&nbsp;material. &nbsp; When you visit the MegaUpload website, a rather ominous graphic greets you.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zBAILwi0qPw/TybfT9i5YMI/AAAAAAAABHY/6_1fvwNnxEo/s1600/Screen+Shot+2012-01-30+at+10.03.47+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-zBAILwi0qPw/TybfT9i5YMI/AAAAAAAABHY/6_1fvwNnxEo/s400/Screen+Shot+2012-01-30+at+10.03.47+AM.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> <br /> So why is this an issue for those who use Cloud Computing? &nbsp;The Federal prosecutors do not distinguish legitimate users of MegaUpload from illegitimate. &nbsp;The same prosecutors stated that data from users of Megaupload may be erased beginning later this week. &nbsp;Those users have no path to get any of their data. &nbsp;Furthermore, it is unclear if Federal Prosecutors will also be seizing data not directly related to the injunction. &nbsp; Small companies who used the services as a data backup are currently blocked from access. &nbsp;From the <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505245_162-57368019/feds-megaupload-user-data-could-be-gone-thursday/?tag=mncol;txt">AP/CBS article</a>:<br /> <br /> <blockquote class="tr_bq"><i>"A letter filed in the case Friday by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia said storage companies Carpathia Hosting Inc. and Cogent Communications Group Inc. may begin deleting data Thursday. Spokespersons for the two companies and for the U.S. Attorney's Office did not respond to messages Sunday night."</i></blockquote><br /> This should have been easy to avoid, correct? &nbsp;Much like the derivatives market though, several users of the services might not have even understood what they were getting into. &nbsp;The business model used by MegaUpload includes hiring third parties to store the data for a fee so perhaps some data is safe? &nbsp;Unfortunately, as reported by Associated Press, the same government prosecutors have frozen MegaUploads finances. &nbsp;If they cannot pay the third parties, it is seriously likely that data may get deleted, depending of course on the EULA used. &nbsp;According to the same sources, millions of users who use this site to store data may be affected.<br /> <br /> The lessons learned here? &nbsp; We would aver that legal rulings such as the one made need to account for the impact of seizure. &nbsp;The whole notion of locking down a complete system due to an alleged illegal activity may have a serious and lasting impact on&nbsp;legitimate&nbsp;users. &nbsp;A path to recovery of legitimate data should be part of the any such future actions and by blocking access, those who do so incur a large responsibility to all users of that site to ensure no losses are suffered. &nbsp;Unfortunately, in cases like this, it seems no impact assessment had been done or accounted for in the contingency plans and it is akin to throwing out the baby with the bathwater.<br /> <br /> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Original post at <a href="http://technoracle.blogspot.com">http://technoracle.blogspot.com</a><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17460203-11671631716145048?l=technoracle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/blogspot/NUcQv/~4/ixGVoYZmOpU" height="1" width="1"/> id tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17460203.post-11671631716145048 link Stomach Contents: Structure - array 1 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/NUcQv/~3/ixGVoYZmOpU/serious-problem-with-cloud-computing.html rel alternate title A Serious Problem with Cloud Computing type text/html 2 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://technoracle.blogspot.com/feeds/11671631716145048/comments/default rel replies title Post Comments type application/atom+xml 3 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://technoracle.blogspot.com/2012/01/serious-problem-with-cloud-computing.html#comment-form rel replies title 0 Comments type text/html 4 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17460203/posts/default/11671631716145048?v=2 rel edit type application/atom+xml 5 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct href http://www.blogger.com/feeds/17460203/posts/default/11671631716145048?v=2 rel self type application/atom+xml published 2012-01-30T18:35:00Z title Stomach Contents: Structure - struct value A Serious Problem with Cloud Computing updated 2012-01-30T18:35:03Z 25 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct author Stomach Contents: Structure - array 1 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct email noreply@blogger.com name Duane "Chaos" Nickull uri http://www.blogger.com/profile/08767498160563891543 content Stomach Contents: Structure - array 1 Stomach Contents: Structure - struct type html value <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/AdHKKnw47ViiHer9Ui5pAF5Ak0k/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/AdHKKnw47ViiHer9Ui5pAF5Ak0k/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/AdHKKnw47ViiHer9Ui5pAF5Ak0k/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/AdHKKnw47ViiHer9Ui5pAF5Ak0k/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">I just finished reading Akweli Parkers <a href="http://auto.howstuffworks.com/10-concept-car-success-stories.htm#mkcpgn=kaw1">article</a> entitled "Ten Concept Car Success Stories: The Ones that Made it to the Production Line"<br /> <br /> <i>"Ever since legendary automotive designer Harley Earl created what was arguably the first concept car in 1938, the public has been enthralled to witness the ever-expanding limits of technology combined with auto designers' unrestricted imaginations.<br /> <br /> Traditionally, concept cars were usually extreme flights of fancy.
