Here I provide a tiny mindmap summarizing the basic concepts of UDDI.
I’m using it for studying Advanced Internet Technologies.
As sources, I used OASIS official specification and tutorialspoint.
My second physical meeting at SoNET – FBK is about to end. Today we discussed about applications that implements Dynamic Carpooling Systems on mobile phones. The list is hosted on the following Wiki page: http://www.opensocialcapital.com/dynamic_carpooling/wiki/index.php?title=Systems_Analyzed.
We also discussed about a protocol to be adopted for defining rides, to be used by the system in message passing. We took a look at the draft of OpenTrip Core, which currently defines the data structure only. There is also a tiny proposal of Dan Kirshner at his dynamicridesharing.org Wiki, called OpenDRS. We are also looking at Google Transit, because there is also the idea of starting a prototype that offers public transport rides, to help us reaching a critical mass.
An idea could be a merge of those proposals into a fork of OpenTrip Core, that is currently stopped and misses lots of features.
Next time we will discuss about our system, called temporary Dycapo, and I will prepare some software engineering documents.
While I am waiting for my wiki to be setup, I’m updating here my first week of work. I read lots of papers regarding dynamic car pooling and friends. Most of them are listed on this MIT website and on dynamicridesharing.org. The second site is maintained by Dan Kirshner, the author of three (unlucky) experiments regarding dynamic car pooling.
I actually selected 13 publications for my scope. I’m going to publish the list as soon as I’ve got my wiki. What I’m going to do is to review them, comparing my work with the excellent one done by Hannes Zimmerman and Yann Stempfel (Current Trends in Dynamic Ridesharing, identification of Bottleneck Problems and Propositions of Solutions).
BD-review is a dynamic website to allow people to review releases (albums, demos, EPs, singles) of (young, unsigned) music bands. The project is the outcome of the Internet Technologies course at the Faculty of Computer Science of the Free University of Bolzano. The requirements of the project were to build a website using a small subset of JavaEE technologies, without the use of web-frameworks.
Therefore, this project is not really meant for production use. It was made as a strong, working and correct base for studying JavaEE academically. It should be useful for every student (also non-student) willing to have an overview on JSP and study it. The code is well-written, uses MVC, and the whole project is documented in detail in a 20+ pages report.

I encourage to read the PDF report of the project. It contains detailed information about the analysis and design phases, as well as the architecture description, screenshots, problems found etc. Please read also the README file. It contains configuration instructions.
There is a running demo located on the evaluation server of the course, but I think it will be removed soon.
Quick Jump:
The aim of the project is to build a dynamic website to allow people to review releases (albums, demos, EPs, singles) of (young, unsigned) music bands. Users will be able to signal interesting materials and review them, while other users will be able to comment the reviews, too.
This web 2.0-oriented application should allow unknown talented musicians to achieve a higher notoriety but also to improve their productions.

I report here the requirements of the course, all implemented by BD-review:
What BD-review implements is:
In addition, BD-review implements two Filters and plays with Regular Expressions.

There will not be future developments for the project. It was not a real-life project but I will be very proud if you find it an useful example for learning JSP. You can also use it as a basis for developing a real project (also a University Project). You can do anything you want with BD-review, but please respect the license. I would be happy if you send me an email about your experience in using BD-review.

Unipoli is a simple simulation of the very popular board game Monopoly by Hasbro. Unipoli is the Java outcome of the Programming Project course I followed in Academic Year 2007 – 2008.
I don’t know for how long the official project page will stay on Unibz servers, therefore I’m keeping this page on task3.
This document was the first step made in facing the project:
The project will provide a simple simulation of the very popular board game Monopoly. Unipoli will allow a multiplayer experience (up to 8 human players) on the same machine but not over a network.
We will implement the classical Standard (Atlantic City version) Monopoly game board layout, produced by Charles Darrow, and later by Parker Brothers.
However, by virtue of being a virtual implementation of the real game, Unipoli will overtake some aspects of the real Monopoly game, giving to the players unique visual experiences. As example, we will highlight owned lands with the color associated to their owners. When a player decides to sell a property, the board will be obscured, leaving the lands owned by the player well visible.
Like in the original game, the purpose is to dominate the competition against the opponents, and be the last to survive. Due to time problems, we will not implement all the rules and game features. For example, hotels will not be included in our game version.
The GUI will consist of two main components:
Players will be able to buy lands and build houses in case of monopoly. The opponents have to pay rents if a land is owned. There will be both factories and railroads.
Our game implementation will also feature the so-called Chance Cards.
There wonʼt be the possibility to play as the Bank. Money will just be considered as a number which increases and decreases. Therefore, a graphical representation of paper money is not scheduled.

After a short period with Slackware, I took the decision to switch to Archlinux again. I’m using it since one month and I’m very happy about the stability it finally reached. I encountered no freezes using it on my macbook (take a look on their interesting wiki page for info).
I hope that this will last forever 
I’ve always found Archlinux, its philosophy and its package manager the best combination for a Linux Distribution. Now that it is also stable, there are no reasons to keep away from Archlinux!
