Review Service-Oriented Architecture Consulting for Professional Services Organizations Report: Facilitating the Service-Oriented Enterprise / ZapThink, LLC:Key Findings: Today’s professional services firms are struggling to find their long-term value proposition in environments that are in constant change. There is a significant opportunity for PSOs in the short-term for helping companies implement and adopt SOAs, and in the long-term for providing critical business process expertise. As Service-oriented process tools mature, system integration will no longer be a separate activity, but will be subsumed into the process orchestration and choreography activities within the Service-oriented process tools. The business process design, optimization, and execution consulting market will come to displace the system integration market. System integrators will find the low-level integration work diminishing as their customers adopt SOAs, and therefore will need to transition their skills to the Service-oriented process arena to avoid having their market erode substantially. There is a significant opportunity for consulting firms in the next five years for helping companies implement and adopt SOAs, and in the long-term for providing critical business process expertise. Total SOA architectural and process consulting revenues will surpass those from system integration by 2006. System integration revenue by professional services organizations will decrease by over 70% by 2010, while Service-Oriented Business Process consulting will increase 20-fold in the same time period.

Review Auditory Display: Sonification, Audification, And Auditory Interfaces (Proceedings Volume 18, Santa Fe Institute Studies in the Sci) / Westview Press:The blessing of the information age is that doctors, scientists, and researchers of all kinds have more information at their disposal than they have ever had before. The curse of the information age is that all this generated data has led to overload, the result being that data now serves to confuse almost as much as it clarifies. One method for dealing with this overwhelming amount of data is to display it in one form or another, and the most popular way of displaying data in recent years has been through visualization techniques, e. g. , graphs, bar diagrams, time series plots, etc. These techniques have been extremely useful. However, they have their limitations, and researchers are now exploring alternative methods. One of the most promising types of new methods is the subject of this important volume. We frequently fail to appreciate how adept people are at interpreting sounds, especially very subtle ones. Recognizing the strength of the auditory sense, researchers have been developing tools that promise to be useful in real-time applications, from the monitoring of hospital operating rooms to the stress-filled task of air traffic control. [+]Now, sonification (the display of data through sound) provides new tools for recognizing patterns and analyzing data, extending the process of discovery in such diverse fields as parallel computer programming, geophysics, financial market analysis, and computational fluid dynamics.

Review SOA Best Practices Report: Beyond Point-to-Point Web Services / ZapThink, LLC:Key Findings: Service-oriented architectures built upon open, standards-based Web Services provide a strategic IT direction businesses need to meet their fundamental business goal: agility. By 2010, ZapThink expects 69% of the total enterprise software market to be Service-oriented. The overall market for products and services that support Service orientation will be over $98 billion by 2010.

Review Power RPG with SQL / Rochester Initiative:With Power RPG with SQL you'll quickly modernize your RPG skills. Instead of relying solely on limited RPG file operations, you'll add the power and convenience of SQL to your RPG programming. SQL is a powerful, convenient and universal tool and, if you program with RPG, there's no better way to learn SQL than to actually see how it is used in RPG programs. Using the SQL pre-compiler, you'll embed SQL statements in your RPG code. With SQL you'll put more "ease of use" and functionality into your RPG programs. You'll work with data returned by SELECT statements and use INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements to make changes. You'll learn how to create new files quickly and easily in an RPG program, without needing to call system commands. Developed by programmers for programmers, this hands-on SQL training shows you plenty of short-cuts, gives you tips and real-world advice on how to develop and test statements. Most importantly, you'll learn by running actual code on your system. Power RPG with SQL includes over a dozen RPG coding labs where you'll develop, test and debug RPG code using embedded SQL. [+]This is gold! Media: Self-paced manual with source code CD. Estimated completion time: 20 hours.
