Rational Unified Process survey from researchers at Virginia Tech

dhenderson — 2007-06-08T22:13:19Z

Hello:My name is Dave Henderson and I am a doctoral student at Virginia Tech majoring in Information Systems. I am conducting a web-based survey for my dissertation to investigate attitudes of Information Technology professionals toward using the Rational Unified Process (RUP). My dissertation further investigates what makes the RUP useful to Information Technology professionals.

I am currently looking for Information Technology professionals who have used the RUP to participate in my survey. As an Information Technology professional, your input would be extremely valuable to my research. If you are not familiar with the RUP, please do not complete the survey. The survey requires approximately 20 minutes to complete and will expire at midnight on Friday, July 6^th, 2007. Your responses will be completely anonymous. Furthermore, by completing the survey, you will be able to enter into a random prize drawing to win $250.00. Please make sure you have time to complete the entire survey as partial responses are not counted. The survey can be accessed at:

If you have any questions or concerns about the survey, please contact the survey administrator, David Henderson at 'mailto:davidlhenderson%40vt.edu'>davidlhenderson@vt.edu or his advisors, Steve Sheetz, Ph.D. at 'mailto:sheetz%40vt.edu'>sheetz@vt.edu or France Belanger, Ph.D. at 'mailto:belanger%40vt.edu'>belanger@vt.edu.

Article-Object Query Language for Distributed Cache

Author: Iqbal M. Khan works for Alachisoft, a leading software company providing NCache, a clustered object cache for .NET, and TierDeveloper, an O/R Mapping code generator for .NET. You can reach him at 'mailto:iqbal@alachisoft.com'>iqbal@alachisoft.com or visit Alachisoft at 'http://www.alachisoft.com/'>www.alachisoft.com. Object Query Language for Distributed Cache: NCache lets you create a scalable distributed cache in the middle-tier so you can reduce expensive trips to the database and greatly improve your application performance. It also improves application scalability because you are able to find frequently used data in this highly scalable cache instead of a single database server that cannot scale up very well. Your application typically uses a cache as a Hashtable where everything is stored based on a key and you must have this key to fetch an item. This is like having a relational database where you can only use primary key to find data. This works fine in many situations but in a real life complex application your application often needs to find data based on attributes other than the primary key. And, since you're keeping a lot of your data in the cache, it would be very useful if you could search the cache in this manner as well. NCache provides exactly such facility.
