Subject: Nominating Tony Graham for WS-Pedagogy Award
It helps, of course, to know Tony Graham (and his exquisite dry wit), but this XML 2004 presentation deserves an award. Superb! More like this one, Tony! "Adding Reliability to an Egg-and-Spoon Race" http://www.idealliance.org/proceedings/xml04/papers/243/egg-and-spoon.html <q> Conclusion This paper began by noting the essential similarities between an egg-and-spoon race, a computer network, and a Web Service. It then discussed ways of adding reliability to each of those without fundamentally changing their dynamics. The method, for Web Services, is to layer reliability on top of existing Web Services infrastructure, and the remainder of the paper discussed the features of the WS-Reliability standard being developed at OASIS and the WS-ReliableMessaging specification that is owned by BEA, IBM, Microsoft, and Tibco. Based on the essential similarity of an egg-and-spoon race to a Web Service, it should be possible to create a reliability protocol for egg-and-spoon relay races that will deliver more eggs to the finish line -- especially where egg order is significant -- than an unreliable protocol under the same conditions. </q> --
