One of the constraints defined for the architectural style known as REST is "hypermedia as the engine of application state". Mark Baker, well-known for being one of the first who advocated the REST style instead of the mainstream web services approach, discusses that the hypermedia constraints means in practice and why it is essential to RESTful design.

"Can I call you back about that?" Building Asynchronous Services using Service Component Architecture
This article discusses the need for asynchronous services when you build an application using a service-oriented architecture. Building asynchronous services can get complicated, but is made straightforward using Service Component Architecture (SCA). The steps involved in using SCA to create an asynchronous service and asynchronous service client are described in this article.

Introduction to NetKernel
NetKernel is a software system that combines properties of REST and Unix into an abstraction called resource oriented computing (ROC). The core of resource oriented computing is the separation of logical requests for information (resources) from the physical mechanism (code) which delivers it. This article provides an introduction to the NetKernel framework.
