1060 NetKernel 3.3 Released

November 27, 2007, Bristol, UK - 1060(R) Research, Ltd is pleased to announce the release of 1060(R) NetKernel^TM 3.3

1060 NetKernel^TM is a resource-oriented computing platform and application server. NetKernel is built on Java (TM) and will run on any operating system supporting Java 1.4.2 or later.

"This new release of NetKernel is a significant milestone in evolution of the NetKernel 3 product line. NetKernel 3.3 contains new tools and documentation that make it easier to learn resource oriented computing (ROC) and see the inner workings of applications written on the NetKernel ROC platform", says Peter Rodgers, CEO of 1060 Research.

NetKernel 3.3 now features the Request Visualizer, a tool that captures resource requests and displays information about their processing from initiation by a transport through all spawned sub-requests. The Visualizer presents a three-level drill-down display which includes detailed information about each step of request processing. Through its visual presentation the tool provides both a comprehensive high-level view of application processing as well as fine-grained details of each facet, including whether results are returned from the system cache or computed by an accessor.

NetKernel 3.3 includes reorganized and rewritten documentation. "We recognize that resource oriented computing is new. Experimentation led us to a new approach to introduce ROC that is used in the Getting Started Guide and other documentation. We reorganized the books to group related material. The new Resource Model book highlights the importance of resource models and allows us to document future models easily." mentions Rodgers.

Performance of HTTP based applications will now use less network bandwidth and run faster due to support for if-modified-since, eTags and HTTP 304 support. "NetKernel already provided a high-performance solution for HTTP based applications. The modifications to the HTTP transport now allows browsers to coordinate their cache with NetKernel's cache and only transfer information that has changed since last requested. The change was very simple to make because of the resource oriented foundation of NetKernel" comments Rodgers.

New in NetKernel 3.3 is an Image resource model. This model is based on the Java 2D API and provides support for services such as crop, rotate, scale and others. Transreption from the new image resource type to physical types such as PNG and GIF is supported. NetKernel resource models include XML, Image, JSON, Pinky (Atom and RSS feeds) and RDF.

NetKernel's industry leading support for dynamic programming languages continues. Ruby support, first introduced in NetKernel 3.1 has been upgraded to a fully supported language with the inclusion of JRuby 1.0.1. A new language option, PHP, is available as an experimental language from the 1060 Research NetKernel update servers.

About NetKernel

NetKernel is a resource-oriented computing platform built on micro-kernel architecture that extends and combines concepts seen in Unix and the Web. It provides advanced technology that makes building powerful software simple and less expensive.

With resource-oriented computing, developers work at a flexible logical level, composing solutions using information resources and services.

Resource-Oriented Environment a Good Match for URI Infrastructure

August 2, 2007, Bristol, UK, - Zepheira, LLC. and 1060(R) Research, Ltd. are pleased to announce the selection of 1060(R) NetKernel as the key enabling technology for an updated Persistent URL (PURL) service. The Open Source development effort is being sponsored by the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) as an upgrade to the existing PURL service, which it built and has hosted for over 12 years.

The PURL service provides persistent, stable World Wide Web (WWW) addresses for the international library and education community, government, business, non-profit organizations, and private citizens. PURLs are Web addresses or Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) that act as permanent identifiers in the face of a dynamic and changing Web infrastructure.

The new service will add features and make it more scalable to face an expected increase in demand over the next few years. In addition to making it easier to create and maintain persistent URIs, it will now support URI redirection for information and non-information resources such as concepts, organizations and people. This will be a key enabler of Semantic Web-based applications. The new service will allow URI-based concepts to be stable and resolved using existing protocols.

NetKernel is a resource-oriented computing environment that builds upon the architectural properties of Unix pipes, Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) and the Representational State Transfer (REST) style of information, service and document processing. NetKernel's architecture makes it dramatically easier and less expensive to develop flexible, scalable and fast software.

"When looking for an infrastructure to use as the basis of the PURL rearchitecture work, we needed to balance features, track record, ease of development and flexibility in supporting new capabilities. We have had great success for our customers with NetKernel in the enterprise. With its focus on scalable resource-oriented computing, it was a natural candidate for this work," says Eric Miller, Zepheira's President.

David Wood, a Zepheira partner and software maintenance researcher adds, "Software designed to run as Internet infrastructure for many years needs to be maintainable as well as scalable; simply being Open Source is not enough. NetKernel succeeds on all fronts with its modular, layered approach and efficient microkernel architecture. The fact that it has the polish of a commercial product made the decision to leverage this toolkit an easy one to make."

"We are pleased that 1060 NetKernel was selected as the foundation for the rearchitected PURL service," says Peter Rodgers, PhD, CEO of 1060 Research. Rodgers continues, "NetKernel uses URIs internally to identify all elements of software including resources, services and code so it seems natural that NetKernel will now support a global URI resolution service. We have seen NetKernel used in a wide range of enterprise applications, so we know that Zepheria and OCLC will have the scalability, flexibility, and productivity they need to build a high-performance, easily managed system. We are pleased to support such an important open-source project."

More information on NetKernel is available from the 1060 Research web site: www.1060research.com/netkernel/. More information on the PURL service is available on the OCLC PURL Web site: www.purl.org.

June 14, 2007, Bristol, UK - 1060(R) Research, Ltd is pleased to support the Climate Savers Computing Initiative (CSCI).

CSCI's goal is to deliver commitments to reduce energy consumption by computer hardware. Focusing attention on computational energy use is in complete alignment with 1060 Research's corporate and social commitment to energy efficient computation. 1060 Research delivers on this commitment through innovation and technology embodied in software in 1060(R) NetKernel(TM). Focusing on the energy required for computation at the software level is a new approach that has led to dramatic savings across all hardware. NetKernel is a software-based resource-oriented computing platform and application server that automatically minimizes the energy required to process information.

"NetKernel utilizes a fundamentally new computing abstraction that minimizes the thermodynamic cost of computations. Software solutions built on NetKernel dynamically and automatically find the lowest energy for any given information process.", says Peter Rodgers PhD, Physicist and CEO of 1060 Research. "Reducing computational energy costs at the software level has a huge impact on the overall system. Quite simply, the greenest computing is not to compute at all. NetKernel recognizes this by actively eliminating unnecessary computations producing dramatic energy efficiencies. The other side of the coin is that an energetically optimal software infrastructure also gives the highest net performance." adds Rodgers.

1060 Research is the originator of Resource Oriented Computing (ROC), a computing model focused on the logical processing of information resources. In experimental lab conditions and in practical everyday use by customers, NetKernel supporting ROC is consistently shown to significantly minimize computational energy costs.
