Lisp and SOA Web Services for Information Sharing and Knowledge Building
Speaker: Sheng-Chuan Wu, Franz Inc
When: 2004-08-09 11:00:00
Venue: 78-420
Host: Prof Simon Kaplan
Abstract:A new software component architecture, the Service-Oriented
Architecture (SOA), has emerged that offers the ability to
programmatically access up-to-minute information anywhere in the
world. Access to the right Information at the right time is the
basis for knowledge building and the key for business performance.
In this talk, Dr. Wu will discuss the reasons why we need to embrace
SOA today and how it changes the rules of software development and
research. Dr. Wu will explain why Lisp, besides its root in AI, is
the ideal programming language for this new SOA software
architecture. The talk concludes by describing some new Lisp tools
for SOA web service programming and for knowledge building.
