Data Modeling with NoSQL (slides)

Asombroso: un paper de 1994 de investigadores de Sun en el cual concluyen que "RPC" está roto de varias maneras y que no se puede arreglar con ninguna implementación. Ummm... ¿de qué año era CORBA? ¿de qué año era EJB?

"We present a novel streaming algorithm for evaluating XPath expressions that use backward axes (parent and ancestor) and forward axes in a single document-order traversal of an XML document. Other streaming XPath processors, such as YFilter, XTrie, and TurboXPath handle only forward axes. We show through experiments that our algorithm significantly outperforms (by more than a factor of two) a traditional non-streaming XPath engine. Furthermore, since our algorithm only retains relevant portions of the input document in memory, it scales better than traditional XPath engines. It can process large documents; we have successfully tested documents over 1GB in size. On the other hand, the traditional XPath engine degrades considerably in performance for documents over 100 MB in size and fails to complete for documents of size over 200 MB."

IBM WebSphere Portal and Web Content Manager Version 8.0.0.1 Reviewer's guide

"In Forrester's 40-criteria evaluation of application programming interface (API) management solutions, we identified the 11 most significant software providers in the category - 3scale, Apigee, Axway, CA Technologies, IBM, Informatica, Intel Services, MuleSoft, SOA Software, Tibco Software, and WSO2 - and researched, analyzed, and evaluated them. This report details our findings about how well each vendor's products fulfill our criteria and where they stand in relation to each other. This analysis, combined with three buying guides that highlight key make-or-break decision factors, will help AD&D professionals select the right partner for their API management needs."

An Updated Performance Comparison of Virtual Machines and Linux Containers

Muy buena data!

"The monad concept will be presented to an audience with the assumption of knowledge of the generics concept of either the Java or C# programming languages or some other form of parametric polymorphism. The concept will be presented in a way with the objective of supplying enough understanding to apply the practical implications and will not address the underlying mathematics or category theory."

"In this article, we discuss the three-way relationship between three such desirable features - fairness, isolation, and throughput (FIT) - and argue that only two out of the three of them can be achieved simultaneously."

"Our project (titled xstream)  concentrated on evaluation of XPath over XML streams. This research area contains multiple challenges resulting  from both the richness  of the language and the requirement of having only a single  pass over the data. We modified and extended one of the known algorithms, TurboXPath  [4], a tree-based IBM algorithm. We also  provide extensive comparative analysis between  TurboXPath and XSQ [5], currently the most advanced of  finite automata (FA)-based algorithms."

"In this paper we propose the TurboXPath path processor, which accepts a language equivalent to a subset of the for-let-where constructs of XQuery over a single document. TurboXPath can be extended to provide full XQuery support or used to augment federated database engines for efficient handling of queries over XML data streams produced by external sources. Internally, TurboXPath uses a tree-shaped path expression with multiple outputs to drive the execution. The result of a query execution is a sequence of tuples of XML fragments matching the output nodes. Based on a streamed execution model, TurboXPath scales up to large documents and has limited memory consumption for increased concurrency"
