Microsoft’s StreamInsight first thoughts
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:

Oracle Open World
Thanks to all the folks who attended to my presentation Taming Web Services Interoperability at Oracle Open World. I've really enjoyed presenting for an Oracle-centric audience and we got some great reception and feedback . I will make the demos available next week as soon as I finish packaging them up.

Speaking at Oracle Open World
This weekend I am heading to San Francisco to speak at Oracle Open World(OOW). The topic ( take a guess :) )Web Services interoperability between WCF and Oracle WebLogic. This time, I have the pleasure of sharing stage with Pyounguk Cho, Product Manager of the Oracle SOA Suite. We plan to show a real application that highlights some interesting WS-* WLS-WCF inteperability scenarios in terms of security, trust, reliable messaging, mtom and... JMS!!! Also, this is not the only WCF session at OOW!!!!!, my good buddy Kent Brown (WCF Product Manager) will be presenting a session about WS-AtomicTransaction interoperability...yeap it works ;).

Oracle SOA Suite 11g
I've playing around with the new preview of Oracle SOA Suite. Among the new features, Business Events is the most attractive to me and it can be considered Oracle's first iteration towards a complete Complex Event Processing platform based on different technologies of the SOA Suite. Additionally, the implementation of Service Component Architecture (SCA) as part of the SOA Composite Editor is definitely interesting although I am still not convinced of its applicability on Enterprise scenarios.

Composite Services using Oracle ESB Routing Services
Message routing is one of the most used and attractive features of Enterprise Service Buses (ESB). Unfortunately, the traditional view of message routing, most of the times, is reduced exclusively to service orchestration and choreography scenarios. In my opinion, the use of routing is also a fundamental technique for achieving another emerging architecture style of service orientation: service composition. Among the ESBs on the market, Oracle ESB provides a very simple and elegant solution for composing services using routing. The core of this solution is based on one of the fundamental components of Oracle ESB: routing services.

Speaking at NYC Connected Systems User Group
Next Monday I will be speaking at the New York Connected Systems User Group in the Microsoft NYC offices http://www.nyccsug.org . The session is going to be focused on Web Services Interoperability. Specifically I am going to be speaking and demonstrating best practices and techniques to achieve interoperability between Windows Communication Foundation and some of the lead J2EE Web Services stacks such as Sun WSIT, WSO2, Oracle, etc. If you are on the Manhattan area and you are interested on SOA topics swing by and we will have a nice chat.

MTOM interoperability between Oracle App Server and Sun WSIT
A few months ago I wrote a couple of articles (WCF-ORA, ORA-WCF) about Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism (MTOM) interoperability between Oracle Application Server and Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). Most of the feedback I got from those posts was related with MTOM interoperability scenarios using other Web Service technologies toolkits. Based on that, I decided to post a few more demos that reflect MTOM interoperability scenarios for different vendors. Specifically, this paper shows how to achieve MTOM interoperability between Oracle App Server and Sun Web Service Interoperability Technology (WSIT - Project Tango). Believe it or not, I am sorry .NET developers; there is no .NET code in this paper.

Oracle ACE award
If you have been following this blog during last year you know I have been doing a lot of work with J2EE .NET Web Services interoperability. Specifically, a lot of my work and papers have been focused on Oracle .NET interoperability. Well, a few weeks ago Oracle awarded me with an Oracle ACE (the equivalent to a Microsoft MVP). The Oracle ACE program has some fundamental differences with the Microsoft MVP program including the fact that Oracle employees can be awarded too. I am truly honored for receiving this award and I am really looking forward to keep working with the Oracle and Microsoft product teams and the developer community in general.

Message oriented interoperability between WCF channels and Oracle Application Server WSIF
A few weeks ago, in an SOA forum, someone inquired about which technologies to use to achieve untyped interactions with Web Services. Untyped interactions are interactions in which the Service Contract (WSDL, Policies, etc) is not available at design time. This is a classic Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) scenario in which multiple and generic interactions with Web Services are needed and in which generating specific proxies per Web Services is not a practical solution. Going back to my conversation, my response to the question was that the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) channel model in .NET and the Web Services Invocation Framework (WSIF) in J2EE are technologies that can address those types of scenarios. Surprisingly, when somebody else asked me about .NET-J2EE interoperability references for those technologies, mainly WSIF, I could not find a good example for them to reference.
