An XML-based information architecture for learning content, Part 2: A DITA content pilot
Find out how topic-based DITA XML can provide the basis for developing an information architecture for single-sourced XML learning content. Part 1 of this two-part series presented a set of extensions to DITA XML that provide the starting point for a unifying content model for learning. Here in Part 2, the authors test their assumptions against pilot content from a training course developed to support a component feature of IBM DB2 Query Monitor, and then report their findings and suggest important next steps.

An XML-based information architecture for learning content, Part 1: A DITA specialization design
Can topic-based DITA XML provide the basis for developing an information architecture for single-sourced XML learning content? This article builds directly on the rich background about reusable content and e-learning delivery in the learning and training fields. Here in Part 1, the authors posit a set of extensions to DITA XML that provide the starting point for a unifying content model for learning. In Part 2, they test their assumptions against pilot content from a training course developed to support a component feature of IBM DB2 Query Monitor, and then report their findings and suggest important next steps.

A new look and a new foundation for IBM developerWorks
developerWorks unveils its new look -- a series of enhancements to the design and navigation of the site based largely on input from readers like you. Under the surface, our infrastructure has changed to integrate and take advantage of WebSphere Portal. With one DNS change, developerWorks has moved from using WebSphere Application Server 4.0.6 in a single Web site model to using WebSphere Portal 4.1.4 in an aggregated Web site model. Portlets and Web services let us pull together content and applications and present that content and those applications to you through our single portal-based interface. This article summarizes how -- and why -- we did it.

A practical application of SOA
Over the last few years, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has received a
lot of attention, bringing with it a new age of software development and business
agility. However, SOA alone doesn't solve the world's IT problems. We still need
solid and effective software engineering practises, as a poorly managed SOA
implementation can go as wrong (if not more so) as any other architectural
approach. This article presents a practical view to SOA, from both the technology
and business perspectives, and presents a case study drawn from real-world
experiences, showing the benefits that can be achieved through a successful SOA
implementation.

Adopting SOA Best Practices and Lessons Learned
Moving to a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) brings many benefits to businesses, allowing for greater solution
alignment and agility. Making this a smooth transition requires a special level of focus
on quality and an awareness of the unique challenges related to testing within an SOA.
Often, the adjustments that need to be made to testing competencies are not
apparent or planned. Organizations need to understand the unique goals and
challenges related to evolving services architecture and the implications of how testing
should be performed. In this article we will discuss the quality assurance challenges to
be addressed with a SOA adoption, recommended best practices and lessons learned.

An overview of the Systems Modeling Language for product and systems development --
Part 2: Structuring the Rain Sensing Wiper system
from The Rational Edge: The second in a three-part series, this article illustrates how to create a structure diagram for a system using the Systems Modeling Language (SysML), a general-purpose, graphical modeling language for product and systems development. Part 1 introduces the language and describes its requirements, use-case, and test-case diagrams. Part 3 describes how to apply SysML's behavioral diagrams and explains its allocation mechanism. A real-life example of an embedded system is used throughout.

Architect Struts applications for Web services
When you're converting an enterprise app for use with Web services, the simplest way to do it is to associate a single operation with a single enterprise service. But that's not necessarily the best idea. In this article, Jerome Josephraj shows you how to build Web services applications based on the tried and true Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern. To that end, he's adapted Struts, a popular open-source MVC framework, for use in the Web services arena. By examining the sample application outlined here, you'll see how you can use Struts and Web services together.

Architecting intrusion-detection solutions
Intrusion-detection systems (IDSs) have become an increasingly important part of the
security strategy of many organizations. An IDS plays a key role in the concept of
defense-in-depth, being only one of several deployed countermeasures designed to deter,
slow down, and detect an attack before it occurs or before more serious actions occur.
Discover the different types of IDSs and what types of attacks each can detect (or not
detect), and see issues to consider when planning an IDS deployment.
