Jax is over...

After 4 days on the JAX 2007 conference in Wiesbaden, Germany, I'm back at home. The conference was great again: so many sessions, more than 1700 people, tons of interesting conversations, 3 own sessions on BPEL and EDA, ... Now some time would be great to think about all the new ideas.

What is Web 2.0?

Have you ever searched for a good definition of Web 2.0? Richard Monson-Haefel has one in his blog: "Web 2.0 is an Architecture of Participation built on the World Wide Web"

BPEL 2.0 is out as an OASIS standard

At last... the Business Process Execution Language WS-BPEL 2.0 is approved as an OASIS standard. See this announcement for details.
Oracle quots the following: "As one of the earliest supporters of BPEL, Oracle has been enabling production BPEL customers for the past several years. The release of BPEL 2.0 is a significant development for the industry and will serve to increase the already strong momentum behind the BPEL standard. In particular, our customers see BPEL 2.0 as enabling a smooth evolution path from BPEL 1.1 and are excited to see several key process orchestration requirements now included in the standard," said Don Deutsch, vice president Standards Strategy and Architecture, Oracle.
