BEA to optimise software for SOAs
BEA Systems on Tuesday sketched out plans to optimise its infrastructure software for a services-oriented architecture (SOA), a modular system design being adopted by corporate customers. The company said its three primary product lines Aqualogic, WebLogic and Tuxedo will eventually use a common software foundation called MicroServices Architecture. Once this new, "lightweight" architecture is in place, customers will be able to build and modify applications with BEA's tools and server software more quickly and easily, said Alfred Chuang, the chief executive of BEA, who spoke at the company's customer conference in San Francisco. "MicroServices Architecture has been architected with SOA principles in mind and conforms to all standards," Chuang said.
Charlotte Academy poised for expansion
PORT CHARLOTTE -- Only a decade into its existence, the Charlotte Academy private school is preparing for yet another expansion next year. The Academy's new 10,000-square-foot facility is expected to open in January 2007. It will host first- through eighth-grade students. The school is particularly excited because it recently had to put students in modular classrooms to accommodate for growth, said school administrator Debra Boyer. "We had started this construction process before (Hurricane) Charley hit a couple of years ago," she said. So many changes in the construction industry since Hurricane Charley put the project in limbo until a deal was signed with Teixeira construction. "They've realized the urgency of us trying to get our new building up," she said.
