A New Protocol For Faster Web Services?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the pardon-my-skepticism dept.

Roland Piquepaille writes "Jonghun Park is an Assistant Professor of Information Sciences and Technology at Pennsylvania State University. He says that a new protocol can improve Web services. Sandeep Junnarkar broke the story. "Jonghun Park proposed a method for sharing information between systems linked on the Internet promises to speed collaborative applications by up to 10 times the current rates. The protocol is based on an algorithm that lets it use parallel instead of serial methods to process requests. Such a method boosts the efficiency of how resources are shared over the Internet. The new protocol is called Order-based Deadlock Prevention Protocol with Parallel Requests." Check this column for some excerpts or read the CNET News.com article for more details. More information about Jonghun Park's works can be found at his homepage."

    "The new protocol is called Order-based Deadlock Prevention Protocol with Parallel Requests"

    He should've spent more time on the name, no one will call it by it's full name, and think of the acronyms:
    ODPPPR
    OBDPPPR
    OBDPPWPR

    It's bad for the system when no one can talk about it.

      We can just call it BNP for Badly Named Protocal, that's shorter than any other suggestions.

    From the CNET article linked in the story...

    "Web services is currently held up--in my opinion--by things like security and reliability," said Stephen O'Grady, an analyst at RedMonk.

    Doesn't that translate to "They won't let us do it because it doesn't work."?
