Jeremie Miller presents how to create a fully distributed data network in which nodes communicate directly with each other using UDP, JSON and Kademlia, without relying on central servers. Jesper Richter-Reichhelm shares the lessons learned while scaling their game platforms to handle millions of users, each game being built by small teams of two developers without dedicated ops. Building on their work on Real Options, Chris Matts and Olav Maassen are writing a graphic novel to explain the concepts and share their knowledge. They discussed the novel and the process with InfoQ. Eberhard Wolff introduces Cloud Computing, IaaS/PaaS, comparing the Java support provided by Google GAE, Amazon Beanstalk, VMware Cloud Foundry, and Cloud Bees.
Security is by far the most intricate area of the Windows ® Communication Foundation (WCF). In every WCF operation call on the service side, security is governed by the service contract, the operation contract, the fault contract (if present), the service behavior, the operation behavior, the host configuration, and the method configuration and its code. Each of these items may have as many as a dozen or more security-related properties, as illustrated in Figure 1 , depicting the security properties of ServiceHostBase (the base of ServiceHost).
