I work for Red Hat, where I lead JBoss technical direction and research/development. Prior to this I was SOA Technical Development Manager and Director of Standards. I was Chief Architect and co-founder at Arjuna Technologies, an HP spin-off (where I was a Distinguished Engineer). I've been working in the area of reliable distributed systems since the mid-80's. My PhD was on fault-tolerant distributed systems, replication and transactions. I'm also a Professor at Newcastle University and Lyon.

Heisenberg's back!
A long time ago (longer than I care to remember), I made the analogy between Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle and large-scale data consistency (weak/eventual consistency). It got reported by InfoQ too. Over the weekend I came across a paper from friend/colleague Pat Helland where he made a similar analogy, so I figured I'd mention it here. What's that they say about "great minds" ;) ?
