MicroWebs and NanoServices: an Introduction to Resource Oriented Computing

Peter Rodgers

Microservices allow us to adopt composite architectures in which the value of the composite is greater than the sum of the parts. Compositional solutions have a long tradition and are a core element of the Unix philosophy.

Through REST we understand that the Web is a Resource Oriented Architecture. So perhaps we should think of microservices in terms of "microresources"?

In this talk we will introduce Resource Oriented Computing, a general abstraction for software in which "everything is a resource". ROC solutions are built by composing resources from service endpoints located in "microweb" spaces.

Evolvable highly scaled, ultra-high performance solutions are created by the scale-invariant composition of "microwebs". Resources all the way down, or if you prefer, micro-, nano-, femto-services all the way down...

Peter Rodgers is the architect of NetKernel and the father of Resource Oriented Computing. Peter started his research into ROC at Hewlett Packard Labs. Before REST was published he started thinking seriously about the Web as an abstraction for general software with the aim that the economics of the Web could be introduced to any software solution.
