I have to admit that I have little or very limited knowledge about these
technologies. With some reading of the materials on the internet, I think
they are all interesting.
Map/Reduce is still a TODO. The GSoC project didn't achieve much for this
area.
For Erlang, my understanding from [3] is that it's more like a combination
of binding and implementation, similar with implementation.ebj and
binding.ejb.

Subject: [PROPOSAL] Support for Styx, Erlang, Map/Reduce
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
