When talking about the future (near or far), TechEd is always a great forecast platform
... In the early 1990's, developers were faced with the complexity of client-server
technology. Today, developers are faced with changes in their application platforms
and tools strongly focused on distributed applications. Microsoft commitment to SOA
(Service Oriented Architecture) and Web Services becomes even stronger with the time. The
higher level of abstraction should help reducing the complexity .
Two key technology releases in 2005 will be Microsoft SQL Server 2005 ("Yukon")
[1] and Visual Studio .NET 2005 ("Whidbey")
[2], as well as their Express Editions [3].
Two design tools [4] will ship with
Visual Studio: a logical application designer (modeling the components of a service-oriented
solution and their interactions) and a logical datacenter designer (modeling the processors
onto which the services will be deployed, and the security zones into which those
processors are fire-walled). The focus of these modeling tools is to support the early
communications between solution architects and system architects, to make sure that
the operational requirements of the solution are fully considered in the design phase.
Both designers target the System Definition Model (SDM)
[5], an XML schema for describing software components, computer hardware, networks
and interaction models.
