I really would love to and I will probably do so to take my mind of the refactoring I am engaged in as I broke my SecureSession code. Note this basically includes a small outside header describing the contents of a FEC encoded msg. There will be an inside header coming later. I am not yet ASN1 encoding it.

The picture I used to have, if you can imagine it is a 9 layer OSI stack, where layer 8 is the marketplace of running or invokable applications and the 9th, the meta, describes the work. One job where we did this we pushed event structure definitions and writer and reader interfaces for event flows. So all of this definition is stuffed into the meta, accessible anywhere in the distributed app.

Furthermore, we injected decoders into the presentation layer and injected running readers and writers into the control layer (part of layer 8... 8 1/2)

I hope this gives you a bit of a better picture what I am speaking about. When my world stabilizes I will try to get back to you soon, but I cannot promise you I will remember - my apologies for that.

regards,
robert

Can you make a more detailed vision (with a picture) about this?

As I have a cluster running and am paid to do some stuff with all you
list, I can use some time exploring those avenues.

    Excuse me:

    With interfaces I think groovy.
    With object serialization I think avro.
    With header encoding I think ASN1DER with dynamic extension, we need
    variable encoding of statistical objects.
    With packages I think gradle.

    this would be powerful,

        I'd like to add that this is a real challenge to existing players in
        BigData, all of who offer solutions in this exact space. Whoever
        controls it's specification, controls it's cloud market.

        My back of the envelope proposal (my apologies for my
        abrasiveness with
        this approach) is such:

        We develop a dynamic cloud meta & control solution: replicated,
        eventually consistent and so on. We define the serialization,
        interfaces
        and package identification to this meta as open-source standards.

        With interfaces I think Avro.

        With serialization I think ASN1DER encoding, plus non-fixed dynamic
        structure extension.

        With package identification I think Gradle. Do we have a groovy
        compiler?

        I thought I would round out my thinking as I believe this to be an
        important opportunity. Given that the new internet is going to be
        governed by always running, maximally interactive execution
        sites, it
        will naturally move to Smalltalk, so I do not think there is
        anything
        for anyone to be concerned about.

        Patience and not reacting emotionally to misinformation in the
        marketplace will show true colors. Business is warfare. We have the
        advantage.

        peace,
        robert

            Allow me to speak a little on my ideas of a distributed meta
            layer and
            control layer in cloud deployments with Squeak/Pharo,
            hopefully in
            bounds.

            A distributed system must have an metadata repsoitory
            describing the
            traffic and activity. If you look at deployment, code that
            works with
            a type and version of data must be present. With packaging
            and dynamic
            loading, chunks of code registered to a data type/version in
            the meta
            demand loads a achunk to do directed work in a particular
            deployed
            image. BigData event flows and data analysis like to get
            replicated
            and relocated, in realtime. Supporting this in the meta
            definitional
            layer and the 1/2 control layer starts to do dynamic,
            late-binding in
            the network. This is the advantage Squeak/Pharo image-based
            environments bring to the business table.

            Thank you and apologies,
