Sr. Software Architect

The lab was responsible for the invention of web services technology and the platform was inducted into the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History.

§         Specific aspects included web service reliable messaging, high availability and fault tolerance. One example entailed designing and developing a prototypical recovery service where nodes are dynamically discovered and persist service state. These services are advertised and discovered using XML schemas so an e-service dynamically query available services across the internet for the purpose of state persistence. The advantage of this approach was that the number of fail over points becomes unlimited since the discovery negotiation protocol was schema based rather than location based.
