Testing XML Applications

David Patterson will present a talk about a test tool developed for
a large client/server application. It can test the XML traffic to
the server and validate the responses. Several variations of the
testing are described including a way to make do some data mining!
Another use is in generating a random load on a server for performance
tests.

Document Engineering: Methods, Tools, and Artifacts for Crossing
the Data/Document Divide

Document Engineering synthesizes the complementary ideas from
document analysis and data modeling, emphasizing what they have in
common and applying it with a unified focus to a broad range of
documents and processes. The methods, tools, and artifacts used in
Document Engineering build on those aspects of traditional document
analysis that are appropriate for transactional documents while
merging them with techniques from data modeling and object-oriented
design. Combining these two approaches exploits the rigor of data
modeling and normalization to make document analysis more systematic,
while exploiting the heuristics and flexibility of the latter to make
the former more pragmatic.

BIO

Bob Glushko is an Adjunct Professor at the University of California at
Berkeley in the School of Information Management and Systems, the
Director of the Center for Document Engineering there, and a member of
the board of directors of OASIS. He founded or co-founded three
companies, the last of which was Veo Systems in 1997, which pioneered
the use of XML for electronic commerce, inventing the first
object-oriented XML schema language (SOX) and the first XML vocabulary
for B2B (the XML Common Business Library, xCBL). After Veo's
acquisition in 1999 by Commerce One, he headed Commerce One's XML
architecture and technical standards activities and was named an
"Engineering Fellow" in 2000. Glushko is the co-author (with Tim
McGrath) of Document Engineering: Document Analysis and Design for
Business Informatics and Web Services, MIT Press (2005).

We hope to see you there.
