Read All About It: LogicLibrary Gives Peek At Logidex 3.1 For .NET

05/24/2004

LogicLibrary, a provider of software asset management tools, plans to release Logidex 3.1 for .NET in July 2004, featuring governance capabilities for UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery and Integration) and additional .NET Framework assets from Microsoft’s patterns and practices.



LogicLibrary provided these details:

The Logidex software development asset (SDA) management solution enables developers, operations managers and business analysts using the .NET Framework to optimize management of the enterprise application lifecycle from initial development through operations. Additional key product features being announced with 3.1 include the Logidex Open Event Framework, which enables customers to intercept, report and act on essentially any Logidex activity – through integration of those activities with email, workflow and other internal systems – to smooth the flow of information and automate the software development process. Asset Discovery Alerts will also be offered in Logidex 3.1, allowing users to create filters that invoke user notification via email when new or updated assets meet previously created and saved search criteria. “Microsoft partners and customers are creating tremendous value through Visual Studio .NET 2003 and the .NET Framework as they manage their applications and move toward service-oriented architectures,” said Dave Mendlen, director in the Platform Strategy Group at Microsoft Corp. “Logidex for .NET helps developers with the design and building of services, operations managers with deploying and operating services, and business analysts with analyzing and managing services.” The UDDI integration included in Logidex 3.1 for .NET enables enterprises to govern which services are published to a UDDI registry. Logidex serves as a “gatekeeper” for UDDI, ensuring that only approved and qualified Web services are published to the enterprise’s UDDI registry. The UDDI protocol is one of the major Web services and service-oriented architecture (SOA) building blocks and allows companies to dynamically bind to internally produced and Internet-based services, thus enabling those companies to deploy a highly available and scalable SOA infrastructure. In order to give customers guidance on how to implement SOAs using the .NET Framework, Microsoft’s project, codenamed “Shadowfax,” includes an example of an online banking application that is written according to SOA principles and uses the application framework. The reference implementation incorporates patterns & practices guidance to give development teams a concrete example of an SOA solution that uses the .NET Framework version 1.1. LogicLibrary has included this content in Logidex 3.1 for .NET to assist developers and architects as they work with this reusable framework of source code and reference documentation – jumpstarting their SOA projects. “LogicLibrary works closely with Microsoft to help developers, architects and analysts optimize the lifecycle of enterprise applications,” said Greg Coticchia, CEO of LogicLibrary. “Whether it’s working with existing Microsoft products or building new SOAs with the .NET Framework, LogicLibrary customers derive tremendous value from our strategic relationship with Microsoft.” Logidex is the industry’s premier collaborative software development asset (SDA) management solution for development, integration and service-oriented architecture projects. Logidex is also the only software asset management product that features tight integration with the industry’s leading development environments, including Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003. “As service-oriented architectures (SOAs) become a prevalent architectural strategy, companies face the challenge of managing a proliferation of new service interfaces, as well as a multitude of existing software assets,” said Chris Wolff, vice president of architecture and standards at The Thomson Corporation. “All of this information must be meticulously managed in order for SOAs to deliver their promised value. Solutions such as LogicLibrary's Logidex are important tools for supporting the emergence of SOAs.” Microsoft Tech-Ed is one of the largest technology conferences in the world, attracting more than 8,000 technical professionals. Tech-Ed is the premier event for in-depth technical training on Microsoft products and technologies, such as Windows Server, the .NET Framework, Exchange Server, e-Business Servers, Visual Studio .NET, the .NET Compact Framework and SQL Server. Logidex allows enterprises to map relationships among Microsoft .NET Framework SDAs, their business process and technical models, and their applications, components, XML schemas, documentation and other key software and knowledge assets that span the application development lifecycle. Preloaded .NET Framework assets, directly from Microsoft’s Platform Architectural Guidance (PAG) Group, include Enterprise Solution Patterns, Application Blocks, and Reference Applications and Architectures. Logidex’s unique graphical discovery engine allows business analysts, developers and architects to easily collaborate on building Windows-based applications and XML Web services¬from within the Visual Studio .NET 2003 development environment.
