whitepaper J2EE Vs. .NET XML Web Services2007-08-21 Kyoto University
  One of the latest innovations for the use of the Internet is Web services. Web services allow applications and Internet-enabled devices to easily communicate each other and combine their functionality to provide services to each other, independent of platform or language. Web services are characterized by SOAP messages used to talk to a Web service, WSDL files that describe a Web service, and the UDDI used to find Web services. The question then becomes, what is the right tools for developing Web services? That question is assessed in this paper through .NET and J2EE technology. A comparative study between these leading technologies is then presented from various sources based on several performance variables.

whitepaper Program With XML for DB2, Part 3: Program With XML in the Client2007-08-16 IBM
  The increased popularity of Web 2.0 is due largely to the flexibility of the current generation of web browsers. These browsers use Ajax to communicate with the server to interchange XML data and then employ DHTML to navigate the XML and present it to the user. The browser capabilities enable them to be used as thick clients in a web based application. These base technologies gave birth to a number of new technologies and initiatives to meet the growing popularity of Web 2.0. New helper libraries like Dojo and Sarissa have been created to make using XML less painful, and there has been increased support for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG).

whitepaper ScanSafe Case Study: V.Ships2007-08-16 ScanSafe
  V.Ships is the world's largest provider of ship management services, operating through three separate divisions - Ship Management, Leisure and Marine Services. V.Ships uses a number of Web-based applications to enable its staff to communicate and carry out essential research. The threat of increasingly sophisticated malware targeting websites and Web-based applications posed a significant threat to the business continuity of the company. V.Ships required a solution could offer a scalable service in line with its own growth to monitor, intercept and alert it to potential threats from malware such as viruses, Trojans, spyware, tracking cookies, keystroke loggers and adware. V.Ships selected ScanSafe to manage its Web-based IT security and deployed its Web Malware Scanning, Web Filtering and Spyware Screening services.

whitepaper SAP Business Transformation Study: Valero Energy2007-08-15 SAP
  To keep IT gridlock from impairing its growth, Valero needed a way to fit new applications into the infrastructure quickly. The only solution was a common hub for integrating them, whether they were local or global in scope and from SAP or other vendors - a hub that would support reliable communication among both synchronous and asynchronous applications. But just connecting applications was not enough; it was equally important to make sure they were used properly. Therefore, this hub had to support centralized monitoring of business processes, orchestrating them end to end and making them easy to change. In the SAP NetWeaver platform, especially the SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure component, Valero found exactly that solution.

whitepaper Make Composite Business Services Adaptable With Points of Variability, Part 5: Using WebSphere Service Registry and Repository2007-08-14 IBM
  As the adoption of SOA in an enterprise grows, so does the complexity around managing a multitude of both new and old services in the SOA environment. Companies develop new services in house, outsource, or buy service implementation from ISVs (or partners). The number of services and the variety of service metadata, such as response time, transaction charges and other SLA information, make finding the right service for a task a difficult problem. To help with the problem, the service descriptions need to be associated with metadata that can capture arbitrary information about the services (for example, name of the department or line of business responsible for the service, version number for the service or its release date, etc.).

whitepaper A Simulation Framework for Cluster-Based Web Services2007-08-12 University of Modena and Reggio Emilia
  This paper proposes a simulation framework, namely CWebSim, specifically designed for the performance evaluation and capacity planning of cluster-based Web services. A broad variety of Web cluster configurations can be simulated through CWebSim. Its modularity permits the definition of different mechanisms, algorithms, network topologies and hardware resources. Also, two workload input alternatives are possible: a trace-driven mode and a distribution-driven mode that encompasses the most recent results on Web workload characterization. The paper presents two case studies to show how CWebSim can be used to test cache cooperation protocols and Web switch dispatching algorithms.

whitepaper Lycos Implements Application Center 2000 and Windows 2000 for a Next-Generation Portal0000-00-00 Microsoft
  Founded in 1995, Lycos was one of the earliest search and navigation sites designed to help people find information easily and quickly on the Web. Lycos Network is one of the most visited hubs on the Internet. Lycos wanted a common, flexible infrastructure to unify existing Web applications into a single platform. The Microsoft Web solution platform, is helping Lycos meet its goals for new product implementation. The Microsoft Web solution platform allows Lycos to interoperate with existing technology. The company can streamline daily business processes to provide faster time to market and improve manageability.

whitepaper Web Site for Greek Elections Attracts Over 150 Million Hits0000-00-00 Microsoft
  The Ministry of Interior in Athens wanted to improve its results service for voters in the 2002 municipal and prefectural elections. Using the Microsoft .NET Framework, Delta Singular provided not only results via the Internet but also via SMS messages and hand held computers. The reporting system is one of the most advanced in Europe with the Web site attracting more than 150 million hits from the public.

whitepaper Solution Provider Cuts Development Time in Half Using .NET0000-00-00 Microsoft
  By building the CommNet event management solution entirely on Microsoft .NET Enterprise Servers and the .NET Framework, InterKnowlogy was able to create a comprehensive event management system in three months. The solution handles all aspects of the planning process, integrates with third-party registration, scheduling, and speaker logistic systems, and scales to meet the needs of large events. The rich functionality, integration features, and remote management capabilities of these .NET technologies cut development time in half, save up to 25-30 percent in system engineering hours, and reduce administrative time for event planners by approximately 50 percent.

whitepaper WebSphere Application Server for z/OS V6.1: Feature Pack for Web Services2007-08-03 IBM
  Interim new function was introduced into WebSphere Application Server in the normal maintenance stream. The function was then applied to the environment of everyone who installed the maintenance, whether they wanted that new function or not. But now there's a slightly new model being used. "Feature Packs" are a way of providing new function on an optional basis. This paper is focused on the first available feature pack for WebSphere Application Server for z/OS - the "Web Services" feature pack.
