Next Tuesday (November 10th) my colleague Uri Katsir will be presenting a session at the South Florida BizTalk Users Group about improving agility in large BizTalk environments using the ESB toolkit. If you are a BizTalk developer or operations architect working on complex BizTalk deployments you MUST attend Uri's session . In order to keep things in perspective, Uri has prepared a series of interesting demos that illustrate the techniques used to improve the development and management experience...( read more ) Read More...

My friend and colleague Uri Katzir just joined the blogosphere. Uri is a BizTalk wizard who is currently working on one of the biggest BizTalk implementations in the world. We are extremely proud to have him as part of our technical staff at Tellago . Uri has already posted a couple of interesting write-ups about ESB itineraries troubleshooting and deployment techniques....( read more ) Read More...

As the WCF team already announced, the first chapter of the WCF Extensibility Guidance is now available on MSDN . This paper is the result of an effort I started a few months ago with my colleague and friend Pablo Cibraro . Our goal was to provide a detailed guidance of the major extensibility points of the WCF runtime. In that sense, we decided to cover major areas of the WCF extensibility programming model such as channels, client-dispatcher, security, hosting, metadata, RESTful service and even...( read more ) Read More...

In a previous post we explained the programming model of Microsoft's StreamInsight adapter framework. The fundamental capability of this framework is to streamline the flow of events in and out of the StreamInsight hosting application. One of the main advantages of this model is that enables developers to create their own adapters that can be leveraged on StreamInsight-based solutions. On this post we will explore the details of implementing an RSS/Atom adapter using StreamInsight's adapter framework...( read more ) Read More...

Adapters are a fundamental component of Complex Event Processing (CEP) applications. In a nutshell, adapters provide the interfaces that abstracts how events are produced or consumed by the CEP infrastructure. Most CEP frameworks leverage the concept of an adapter as the fundamental mechanism for interacting with heterogeneous systems. Following the same principles, Microsoft's StreamInsight uses adapters to model the flow of events in or out of the CEP host. Furthermore, StreamInsight enables a...( read more ) Read More...

One of the fundamental patterns of Complex Event Processing (CEP) applications is the ability of process events from various input sources and distribute to multiple output sources. These operations require high degrees of coordination what makes it particularly difficult to implement in real world scenarios. Why is that? Well, for starters, continuously querying data from multiple sources entails implementing certain degrees of parallelisms on the CEP application. As we all know, parallel processing...( read more ) Read More...

I spent this weekend toying with Microsoft StreamInsight bits. I have a few blog posts planned for the next few days that tackle very specific CEP patterns but I figure it might make sense to start by highlighting some of the features I think differentiate Microsoft's StreamInsight from other CEP technologies in the market. Here is a n initial summary of the features I really like about Microsoft's StreamInsight: What I like LINQ A continuous query language is an essential component of any CEP platform...( read more ) Read More...

Today I've read a very good post about the need for ESB usage. When you need to use it, how you use it and if it's the right way to use it. To see it please visit: http://alexmreis.com/?p=117 I hope that you guys enjoy it! Read More...

I will be speaking tomorrow at the South Florida Architecture User Group (ArcSig) . The session is titled From SOA to WOA: Introducing Web Oriented Architectures and touches upon the fundamental principles and architecture techniques that can help developers to implement distributed systems that leverage the principles of REST. If you are in the South FL area and you are interested on SOA, REST, WCF, etc…please attend to my session. I promise to keep things interesting ;)...( read more ) Read More...
