Hello again, 3270: Accessing z/OS applications with an iPhone
New technologies and the proliferation of smart wireless devices doesn't
change the reality that applications running on z/OS remain the backbone of
many organizations. But just because an application might be older doesn't
mean it has to look that way or be difficult to access. This article describes
how you can leverage Service Oriented Architecture to bridge this generation
gap and access a z/OS application from an iPhone. This example involves
creating a CICS Web service that is invoked by an iPhone using Web 2.0
concepts to access a CICS/COBOL demo application. Bringing in Google Maps then
makes the iPhone interface to the mainframe application even more
attractive.

Event stream processing with WebSphere eXtreme Scale
IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale exposes a rich set of APIs that enable
access to data residing within a distributed, resilient, and high performance cache. These APIs support a wide range of application programming patterns. One such pattern enables repeated cache updates to be treated as a temporal sequence of events. Applications written to monitor these event sequences are able to correlate and aggregate patterns of lower level events in order to derive real-time insight into business-significant situations. This article describes the implementation of a simple WebSphere eXtreme Scale-based scenario that illustrates the real-time processing of heterogeneous event streams.

Performance tuning for Java Messaging Service on WebSphere Application Server on z/OS
On mainframes, performance tuning is more of a means of reducing the cost per transaction of the system, than a way of achieving maximum throughput and full utilization of the hardware.
