Conformative Systems Joins Four OASIS Technical Committees; Thought Leaders Collaborate to Develop and Promote XML, Web Services and SOA Standards.AUSTIN, Texas -- Conformative Systems, Inc., a developer of high-performance computer systems, has joined four key technical committees of the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS), a not-for-profit, international consortium that drives the development, convergence, and adoption of e-business standards. By becoming involved in OASIS technical committees, Conformative representatives will work with other enterprise IT thought leaders to enable the more efficient use of XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. data processing data processing or information processing, operations (e.g., handling, merging, sorting, and computing) performed upon data in accordance with strictly defined procedures, such as recording and summarizing the financial transactions of a , web services and SOAs. Initially serving as observers, Conformative plans to expand its contributions on the following OASIS technical committees. --OASIS DCML DCML Data Center Markup Language (EDS) DCML Disney Comics Mailing List (Data Center Markup Language) Adoption, which is working to promote the adoption of OASIS DCML standards in the data center to help organizations realize the promise of utility computing --OASIS DCML Applications and Services, which is defining extensions to represent and manage applications and services in a data center --OASIS SOA (1) (Start Of Authority) The first record in a DNS zone file. See DNS records. (2) (Service Oriented Architecture) The modularization of business functions for greater flexibility and reusability. (Service-Oriented Architecture) Reference Model, developing a core reference model to guide and foster the creation of specific service-oriented architectures --OASIS XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformation) Software that converts an XML document into another format such as HTML, PDF or text. It may also be used to convert one XML document to another XML document with a different set of XML tags (different schema). (Extensible Stylesheet Language (World-Wide Web) Extensible Stylesheet Language - (XSL) A standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium defining a language for transforming and formatting XML documents. Transformation) Conformance, developing the processes, tools and methods to integrate disparate XSLT/Xpath test-set contributions into a comprehensive conformance test suite "We're pleased to have Conformative join these OASIS technical committees," said Carol Geyer, OASIS director of communications Director of Communications is a position in the private and public sectors. The Director of Communications is responsible for managing and directing an organization's internal and external communications. . "Their insight and expertise will further enhance each committee's efforts to create effective standards in these vital areas."

Only Conformative is approaching the problem of XML processing performance through the application of a parallel processing architecture. The company's unique server design incorporates many processors in a single application specific integrated circuit (ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. ), enabling acceleration of enterprise applications and Web services by up to 200 times compared to existing general-purpose servers.
