SOA 2.0 Event Driven Architecture

Exforsys
SOA 2.0 Event Driven Architecture There has been much negative press in recent years in regards to Oracle’s touting of SOA 2.0 as the next generation version of SOA. Its combination of Event Driven Architecture with SOA considers the first iteration of SOA to be a mere client-server drive. Despite the fact that it has been presented as a new term, a lot of critics claim that what this merger actually is an advanced SOA, rather than a 2.0 version. The truth is that a lot of pure play middleware… Read More

Client Server : Object Request Brokers

Exforsys
Client Server : Object Request Brokers The Importance of Middleware Middleware is the connective layer in client-server models. The multi-vendor software is compiled by designers to enable services that allow multiple machines to process multiple requests and interact across a network. It also allows communication across platforms. It is like a translation layer that liberates the client-server model by allowing it to communicate more freely across platforms and networks in standardized languages comprehensible across software or hardware differences. Middleware provides a more effective API (Application Programming Interface) than operating systems… Read More

NLP Satir Categories

NLP Satir Categories Introduction Virginia Satir is one of the world’s first family therapists, and developed several techniques that were used cofounders Richard Bandler and John Grinder in the model for Neuro-linguistic programming. After her death in 1980, many of her disciples across various countries continued to use these techniques to heal dysfunctional families. Satir developed five categories, now known as Satir categories for handling different language behaviors. Neuro-linguistic Programming adopts these categories for enabling better communication between individuals. The five Satir patterns, also incorporated in Neuro-linguistic programming, are Blamer,… Read More

NLP Strategy Model Introduction The events that have happened to us in the past cannot be changed, but we can control their internal representation of the memory. By changing the internal representation of the memory, we can change our emotions and feelings about the event. This in turn will change our reaction in case a similar event happens again. Thus, we can be in more control of our feelings and begin to take charge of our own life rather than living and being depressed about the past. As described in… Read More
