I recently met with the folks at Windows in Financial Services — a good source of information about the progress Microsoft and its partners are making in the financial services market.  They interviewed me about my thoughts on the current market for distributed computing in finance — I ended up talking a lot about the […]

Finance on Windows, a magazine based in the UK, asked me to write an article on grid computing.  I took the opportunity to hammer a few of my favorite themes, mostly based around my own analysis of the economics of distributed computing.  The article is in the May 2007 issue (now being handed out at […]

Anderson and Daniel Ciruli in the latest Dr. Dobb’s Journal, “Scaling SOA with Distributed Computing.”  While lots […]

Derrick Harris recently did an interview with me for a story he published today in GridToday.  I think he did a good job — Thanks Derrick! Then Derrick went slightly overboard and decided to do a separate story about me, in which he claims “The one thing that never ceases to amaze me when speaking […]
