SORCER
The service-oriented computing environment (SORCER) is a distributed computing platform implemented in Java. It allows writing network-programs (called "''exertions''") that operate on wrapped applications ( services) to spread across the network. SORCER is often utilized in scenarios similar to those where grids are used (grid computing) in order to run parallel tasks. SORCER's predecessor was the federated intelligent product environment (FIPER), which was software for a GE aircraft-engine-design project funded from 1999 to 2003 by the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Advanced Technology Program. The project followed the principal investigator, and thus ''SORCER Labs'' was founded in November 2002 at Texas Tech University (TTU); SORCER core's source code was made public in 2013 under the open source Apache license. SORCER (and FIPER) were developed at GE from 1994 to 2002, at TTU through 2009, and since then at the United States Air Force Research Laborato ...

JINI
Jini (), also called Apache River, is a network architecture for the construction of distributed systems in the form of modular co-operating services. JavaSpaces is a part of the Jini. Originally developed by Sun Microsystems, Jini was released under the Apache License 2.0. Responsibility for Jini has been transferred to Apache under the project name "River". History Sun Microsystems introduced Jini in July 1998. In November 1998, Sun announced that there were some firms supporting Jini. The Jini team at Sun has always stated that ''Jini'' is not an acronym. Ken Arnold has joked that it means "Jini Is Not Initials", making it a recursive anti-acronym, but it has always been just ''Jini''. The word 'jini' means "the devil" in Swahili; this is borrowed from the Arabic word for a mythological spirit, originated from the Latin ''genius'', which is also the origin of the English word 'genie'. Jini provides the infrastructure for the Service-object-oriented architecture (SOOA). ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Service-oriented Programming
{{Unreferenced, date=February 2008 Service-oriented programming (SOP) is a programming paradigm that uses "services" as the unit of computer work, to design and implement integrated business applications and mission critical software programs. Services can represent steps of business processes and thus one of the main applications of this paradigm is the cost-effective delivery of standalone or composite business applications that can "integrate from the inside-out" Introduction SOP inherently promotes service-oriented architecture (SOA), however, it is not the same as SOA. While SOA focuses on communication between systems using "services", SOP provides a new technique to build agile application modules using in-memory services as the unit of work. An in-memory service in SOP can be transparently externalized as a web service operation. Due to language and platform independent Web Service standards, SOP embraces all existing programming paradigms, languages and platforms. In SO ...

Air Force Research Laboratory
The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is a scientific research organization operated by the United States Air Force Materiel Command dedicated to leading the discovery, development, and integration of aerospace warfighting technologies, planning and executing the Air Force science and technology program, and providing warfighting capabilities to United States air, space, and cyberspace forces. It controls the entire Air Force science and technology research budget which was $2.4 billion in 2006. The Laboratory was formed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio, on 31 October 1997 as a consolidation of four Air Force laboratory facilities (Wright, Phillips, Rome, and Armstrong) and the Air Force Office of Scientific Research under a unified command. The Laboratory is composed of eight technical directorates, one wing, and the Office of Scientific Research. Each technical directorate emphasizes a particular area of research within the AFRL mission which it s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
