Book Description
The Internet is radically changing the ways in which enterprises interact with each other in value networks. However, today's existing software technology doesn't adequately address the need to create highly complex interactions among multiple business partners. The arrival of web services promises to bring changes in current Internet technology.

Web services are self-contained, self-describing, modular applications that can be published, located and invoked across the web. They perform functions that can be anything from simple requests to complicated business processes. Using web services, an information system will be able to communicate much more easily with a partner's information system than in the past. Web services provide the technical foundation that companies need, to adopt the new operating style required by a dynamic business world: 'plug-and-play e-business'.By plug-and-play', we mean that companies can integrate themselves seamlessly into each other's businesses with little or no software efforts and without the protracted business cycles of the past in order to meet customers demands.

But what technology should be used for implementing web services? The editors believe objects, component-based development and software re-use are key parts of the software engineering approach onto which web services are to be built.

This liber amicorum is written in honour of Prof.M. Verhelst who has many years of experience in software engineering. ... Read more

Book Description


From the PREFACE:- Some months ago the Jewish world celebrated the eight hundredth anniversary of the death of Rashi, who died at Troyes in 1105.

On that occasion those whose knowledge authorizes them to speak
gave eloquent accounts of his life and work.- Science and
devotion availed themselves of every possible medium-lectures and
books, journals and reviews-to set forth all we owe to the
illustrious Rabbi.- The writer ventures to express the hope that
in the present volume he has made at least a slight contribution
toward discharging the common debt of the Jewish nation-that it
is not utterly unworthy of him whose name it bears.

Jewish history may include minds more brilliant and works more
original than Rashi's.- But it is incontestable that he is one of
those historical personages who afford a double interest; his own
personality is striking and at the same time he is the
representative of a civilization and of a period.- He has this
double interest for us to an eminent degree.- His physiognomy has
well-marked, individual features, and yet he is the best exponent
of French Judaism in the middle ages.- He is somebody, and he
represents something.- Through this double claim, he forms an
integral part of Jewish history and literature.- There are great
men who despite their distinguished attributes stand apart from
the general intellectual movements.- They can be estimated
without reference to an historical background.- Rashi forms, so to
say, an organic part of Jewish history.- A whole department of
Jewish literature would be enigmatical without him.- Like a star
which leaves a track of light in its passage across the skies,
Rashi aroused the enthusiasm of his contemporaries, but no less
was he admired and venerated by posterity, and to-day, after the
lapse of eight centuries, he is, as the poet says, "still young
in glory and immortality."

5-0 out of 5 stars Buy the Dybbuk Press Version
Ok I have published Rashi and Merely Mary Ann at the same time, because I'll be publishing Michael Boatman's horror anthology and The Big Bow Mystery later this year and I want to devote as much time as possible to promotion of those books.

In writing a review, I know that I have essentially two audience members - those who know Rashi quite well and those that have never heard of Rashi before.

For those of you unfamiliar with Rashi, he was an 11th century rabbi who wrote responsa, Torah commentary, Talmud commentary and died in 1205. Maurice Liber has many chapters devoted to his Torah commentary and discussion thereof. If you are Jewish, this can give you a taste of Rashi before studying further. If you are not Jewish, this makes for a fascinating study in medieval philosophy as well as the tensions between Christian and Jewish communities. Maurice Liber notes many instances where Rashi purposefully comments on a psalm or a passage in a way that illegitimizes the Xian viewpoint. In other places, he's merely commenting as a commentator without the tensions.

If you are familiar with Rashi, this is still a fascinating book. Written in 1905 with a completely different set of biases (Liber praises Rashi for inspiring Mendelssohn for example), this book at times feels like the antithesis of those Artscroll biographies that make you suspect that the great sages never went to the bathroom much less read the secular newspapers of their days. Liber places Rashi in a particular time and place before Christian Jewish relations went to hell (the Crusades and the Black Death were either not happening or much less vicious in Rashi's time) and he also discusses the ways that later commentators would disagree with Rashi. Ibn Ezra was particularly vicious towards the Rashi commentaries. Rather than lower Rashi in one's estimation, Liber manages to make Rashi into a more respectable figure as he's human and some of his commentaries are not without problems for the modern reader. Liber also publishes some of Rashi's selichot which are fascinating in their own right.

So if you are at all interested in medeival history or Rashi as a person in a particular time, please buy this book. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Amusing novel-world
This was a witty piece of book. Does it contain profound truths which will forever alter the way you perceive the meta-world, the world of the dead or the novel-world? Didn't seem to. A lot of visual art and ditties pasted together by a very stoned neo-hippie with a blazing sense of humor and evocative pathos. Maurice G Dantec would have us believe that this huge philosophical swamp is the secret key to enlightenment; but after having read, and enjoyed, all of his books, I eventually came to the sad conclusion that he seems to have his head up his @$$. For a contemporary French writer it is a true revolutionary act and it remains an interesting Historical document for those who can read it - immature as the contents may well be.
If you liked this, be sure to check out the open source uchrony "DUSK", which expands upon the topics covered with more intelligence and depth.
