After Saturday's explosion at The Planet hosting facility, which disrupted 9,000 servers belonging to more than 7,500 customers, we are fully back. Thanks for your patience!
Kevin Hartig asked "What is Cloud Computing?" this week and went on to provide an excellent stab at an answer, explaining how it overlaps some of the concepts of distributed, grid and utility computing.

Eric Newcomer, another SYS-CON.com regular, asked recently: "Have We Got It All Backwards with Software Assembly?" and followed that question up with another one, "Do Design Patterns Help Software Assembly?" - both articles continue to attract interesting feedback.

JoeMcKendrick
inquires "
Where We Are and Where We Need to Be With SOA?"
Further interrogatory sessions from our next three upcoming events include:
