Oversee.net Announces 2nd Annual DOMAINfest Global To Be Held in Hollywood California

Company?s First European DOMAINfest Auction Brings Highest Recorded ccTLD Sale

Los Angeles, CA (June 11, 2007) — DomainSponsor?, the domain monetization business of Oversee.net, today announced that the next DOMAINfest? Global will take place January 21-23, 2008. Due to popular demand, the event will return to the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood, California where DomainSponsor plans to build on the success of its first global conference held earlier this year.

The Company?s 3rd regional event, DOMAINfest Amsterdam, took place in mid-May and was an international success. The conference was attended by more than two hundred guests from nearly twenty countries across the globe, including Germany, the Netherlands, Finland, and Israel. In commenting on the event, Ron Sheridan, Director of Business Development for DomainSponsor said, ?DOMAINfest Amsterdam connected international domainers with mutual interests. It was an intense learning and networking experience. With each conference, our goal is to offer more to the domainer community, and establish DOMAINfest as the premier conference and marketplace for the domain industry.?

Speakers at DOMAINfest Amsterdam represented major industry players, such as Sedo, NICIT, NameMedia, EuroDNS, and Yahoo, who discussed today?s major domain industry issues.

The leading domain conference premiered its first live auction in Amsterdam organized by show sponsor, NICIT. Twenty-seven domains were sold, totaling just under $1 million. While Liz Williams, Senior Policy Counselor at ICANN, reviewed the upcoming round of new TLDs in her keynote speech, DOMAINfest hosted the sale of the highest grossing ccTLD on record. Poker.de sold for over $937,000 at live auction.

?It was exciting to hear the perspectives of European domain experts and learn from them,? Lawrence Ng, Oversee.net Chief Executive Officer, said. ?This event helps lay the groundwork for a fantastic global event in January 2008.

Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is becoming a key aspect for system agility and quickly developing new businesses. As core concepts of any SOA-based system, services have recently received significant interest. They can be used to support Business-to-Business (B2B), Enterprise Application Integration (EAI), and collaborations within or between Virtual Organizations. Like other software components services expose both functional properties (i.e. what they do) and non-functional properties (i.e. the way they are supplied). Non-functional properties (NFPs) of a system are many and varied, including all properties which are not directly related to the functionality provided. NFPs include quality of service (QoS) as well as other properties such as cost, adherence to standards and obligations on the consumer/provider. QoS is one of the most important subsets of non-functional properties. Although the term QoS is traditionally used to refer specifically to network performance and reliability characteristics (and methods of guaranteeing these properties) in the context of SOA the term must refer to a wider variety of service properties. This is because there are numerous properties which can be used as indicators of quality (including, e.g. performance, dependability, security, accuracy, customer service, etc.). The term, as applied in SOA, must also refer to properties of system components at different levels of granularity (e.g. network, server, service, operation).

Non-functional properties play an important role in all service related tasks, especially in discovery, selection and substitution of services. It is simple to imagine a scenario in which multiple services which provide the same functionality can fulfill a user request. In this case the ability of the user to differentiate between the services depends upon their non-functional properties. Modeling, managing and performing service related tasks such as discovery, composition, negotiation and agreement based on NFPs become fundamental challenges in Service-Oriented Architectures especially in real business settings. Directly connected to the tasks mentioned above are the specification, enforcement and management of Service Level Agreements (SLAs). SLAs give the service consumer some level of guarantee that the provider and the service/s that they provide will operate within acceptable bounds - particularly with regards to non-functional properties and QoS values. At the same time SLAs serve a role for the provider in planning resource allocation and avoiding unexpected legal wrangles. With the ever-growing demand for eBusiness, service providers are increasingly interested in enforcing contracts electronically allowing autonomous supervision of service status and management. Machine-understandable NFPs and QoS models are therefore key to the widespread uptake of SLAs as well as all of the service related tasks mentioned above.

This workshop aims to tackle the research problems around methods, concepts, models, languages and technology that enable management of non-functional properties and Service Level Agreements in the context of Service Oriented Computing. This workshop aims to bring together researchers and industry attendees addressing these issues, to promote and foster a greater understanding of how the management of NFP, QoS and SLAs can assist business to business and enterprise application integration.

To network people from around the world who are working on non-corporate social networking projects or non-corporate virtual community projects and/or To Create a Radical, Co-op (member-owned), opensource Free Speech, Social Networking Website Which Would be Better than Myspace, Youtube, Livejournal and Indymedia… Combined.
A project of such size and scale often becomes lost in a dreamworld…. and never actually becomes a reality.

Nevertheless, we are hoping to move from the talking stage to the reality stage by taking several goal-orientated steps. Perhaps, as it often is with most projects which become a reality, there is a need to sit down face-to-face to discuss the fine points of it with people from all over the world and to put into place the co-op structure… and then to begin a rough-draft or beta version of the project at the end of those discussions.

Please join us at our Conference. It is free of charge:

To learn more about the conference, which has free admission, you can subscribe to our free monthly email newsletter.

Location: Olympia, Washington.

The conference offers free meals and free of charge admission.
