by The Jolie programming language recently attracted the attention of developers on Hacker News. Jolie is a service-oriented language that encourages developers to model distributed software as composable services whose orchestration is described separately from communication protocols (SOAP, HTTP, XML-RPC) and deployment architecture. Jolie strives to reduce the distance between specification and implementation by reifying services as a first-class concept. [I think the predominant question here is: why a language over, e.g., a framework?] In a nutshell: because we want to minimize code mod...

ITU Digital transformation is blurring the boundaries between our physical and virtual worlds and this transformation has gained further impetus with COVID-19. Things, places and people are being mirrored in a parallel virtual world, creating immersive new communications experiences and fundamental shifts in business and education as well as healthcare, automotive, logistics, retail and entertainment. But is society ready for this future? Is this vision centred around people and our best interests? And how could technical standards and policy and regulation help us to shape the future we want...

Software monitoring on steroids Observability is an increasingly vital consideration for software engineers looking to build better, more stable applications. Here is everything you need to know about observability Credit: Dreamstime The term “observability” started to gain serious momentum in software engineering circles around 2018, as a natural evolution of monitoring practices. By bringing t...

April 1st, 11am-12:30pm April 1, 2021 12:30 PM Virtual Meeting Talk Abstract: For several decades, my collaborators, students, and I have worked on theory for distributed systems in order to understand their capabilities and limitations in a rigorous, mathematical way. This work has produced many different kinds of results, including: • Abstract models for problems that are solved by distributed systems, and for the algorithms used to solve them • Rigorous proofs of algorithm correctness and performance properties (also some error discoveries), • Impossibility result...

Bibas | Wikipedia PHILADELPHIA – A panel of judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has affirmed a trial court decision which found that Carnegie Mellon University did not discriminate against a master’s degree student afflicted with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, when he failed out of the school’s computer science program. On March 5, Third Circuit judges L. Felipe Restrepo, Stephanos Bibas and David J. Porter ruled to uphold a decision from the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, in favor of Carnegie ...
