2004-12-26Eliminating Mutual Incomprehension in Interoperability ArrangementsACM News Service: Open Systems--Mutual Understanding Without Limits. This blurb suggests that it may be possible to assure system coherence in the integration of heterogeneous open systems, using technology developed by groups of Russian researchers. The 2004-12-17 Russian Science News article speaks of universal open system technology that can solve the problem via providing a universal translator interface among standard data representations that are comprehensible to all participants in a system. There is not much more detail available in English, and there are no links. There is apparently a translator or bridge arrangement involved, and I find it unusual for such strong claims to be made for an arrangement of that kind. Forty years ago, we would have thought this to be a saving technology, but the practical results were never as strong as what we could imagine. It would be interesting to see what has changed. Shimon Nof suggests active middleware for bridging technologies as well, and there is a similar paucity of detail about practical demonstration in the E-Work model.
