  • RESTful Services with Erlang and Yaws

    In this article, Steve Vinoski explains how to build RESTful Web services using the Erlang programming language and the Yaws web server. While Steve considers most Web frameworks failures simply because they were a poor match to the problem, he believes Yaws and Erlang are a better match for RESTful development than many other language frameworks that were built specifically for that purpose.

  • Beyond SOA: A New Enterprise Architecture Framework for Dynamic Business Applications

    A successful outcome is never questioned when a plane with millions of interdependent parts is designed, especially when cost is not a factor. Why are the outcomes of complex software projects so unpredictable? In this two-part article, the authors analyze the causes of project failures and propose a new approach beyond SOA based on adaptive systems theory and a new information architecture.

  • Book Excerpt and Review: OSWorkflow
