Microsoft to Highlight Silverlight, 'Oslo' At Show
Microsoft also will unveil that it is working with partners and the industry group the Business Process Alliance to come up with the modeling language for Project Oslo, a move that suggests the company will not create its own proprietary language but instead will work with standards such as BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) that already exist.
Perera stopped short of saying that Microsoft will create an open-source or open-standards-based modeling language, but he did say that "customers are looking for an open and extensible modeling language," and mentioned Microsoft's recent trend to be more transparent about its technology in general will continue.
Microsoft is holding its North American TechEd conference in two parts this year as opposed to the one conference it usually holds, with a focus on developers this week in Orlando. Next week the company will hold the conference for IT professionals.
