Hi,
as some of you know I'm (still) in front of choosing subject of my
master thesis. I decided to connect it with Tuscany and I've picked
three topics which I'm interested in:
1. Support for Styx protocol, which is used in operating systems like
Plan9 or Inferno.
This extension could be realized as binding extension which could
provide access to Styx resources (reference bindings). Tuscany
components could be also served as Styx resources (service bindings). I
thought I could use JStyx which is Java Styx implementation [1]. Little
challenge here could be inventing method of mapping Java interface to
structure of Styx resource (tree).
2. Support for Erlang language (inspired by GSoC 2008 proposal).
This one sounds interesting, but after reading [2] and [3] I'm still not
sure how this could work as implementation type in Tuscany. Can we
assume that input implementation file contains list of erl shell
commands which would be translated to JInterface calls?
3. Support for Map/Reduce - integration with Apache Hadoop (GSoC 2008
proposal).
It looks like this GSoC project wasn't finished successfully. Is it
true? If so then this project is also worth of more research.
I'll appreciate any comments. What do you think about usefulness of each
proposition?
Thanks,
Wojtek
