1. WEB SERVICES
Smart Proxies for Accessing Replicated Web Services
José Geraldo Ribeiro Jr., Glauber Tadeu do Carmo, Marco Túlio Valente,
and Nabor C. Mendonça
SmartWS generates smart proxies to encapsulate a variety of Web
service-selection policies. The proxies also encapsulate adapters to
bridge potential interface incompatibilities between Web services and
clients.

2. FROM IEEE INTERNET COMPUTING: GUEST EDITORS' INTRODUCTION
Social Media and Search
Junghoo Cho and Andrew Tomkins
The past few years have seen a rapid rise in social media Web sites. As
user content becomes the dominant content form on the Web, various
questions arise about the most effective approach to processing it.

3. FROM IEEE INTERNET COMPUTING: WEB PROXY SECURITY
Centralized Web Proxy Services: Security and Privacy Considerations
Guy-Vincent Jourdan
The widespread use of centrally controlled, externally run Web proxy
services raises several potential security issues. An analysis of
Google's Web Accelerator, a free Web proxy service, illustrates a
discussion of these security implications.

4. EDUCATION
Cluster and Grid Computing: A Graduate Distributed-Computing Course
Rajkumar Buyya and Srikumar Venugopal
A Cluster and Grid Computing course at the University of Melbourne aims
to fulfill the demand for professionals in an emerging field of
distributed computing.

5. TREND WARS
Web 2.0 and Enterprise IT
Dejan Milojicic

Dejan Milojicic discusses Web 2.0 and its implications for modern IT
with three guests: Rich Friedrich, director of the Enterprise Systems
and Service Lab in HP Labs; Dave Cohen, chief technology architect of
Merrill Lynch; and Alex Dreiling, research program manager at SAP Labs
in Brisbane.

6. FROM IEEE INTERNET COMPUTING: TOWARD INTEGRATION
Reliability with Erlang
Steve Vinoski
An in-depth examination of Erlang shows how it handles the difficult
parts of concurrency, distribution, and reliability with relative ease.

7. NEWS
Digital Libraries Are Taking Form
Greg Goth
But will public, nonprofit, and commercial efforts integrate?
http://dsonline.computer.org/portal/pages/dsonline/2007/12/oz004news.html

8. FROM IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PARALLEL & DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS
Multitoroidal Interconnects for Tightly Coupled Supercomputers
Yariv Aridor, Tamar Domany, Oleg Goldshmidt, Yevgeny Kliteynik, Edi
Shmueli, and José E. Moreira
The processing elements of many modern tightly coupled multicomputers
are connected via mesh or toroidal networks. A novel hardware/software
architectural approach detaches the processing elements of the system
from the interconnect and augments the traditional toroidal topology to
provide additional connectivity options and link redundancy.

9. BOOK REVIEW
A Swiss Army Knife for C++ .NET
Tomasz Kaczmarek
A review of Visual C++ .NET Developer's Guide
