Abstract:
In the last couple of years, the concept of a web service (WS) has emerged as an important paradigm for general application integration in the internet environment. More particularly, WS is viewed as an important vehicle for the creation of dynamic e-business applications and as a means for the J2EE and .NET worlds to come together. Several companies, including Microsoft, have been collaborating in proposing new WS standards. The World Wide Web Consortium has been the forum for many WS-related standardization activities. Many traditional concepts like business process management, security, directory services, routing and transactions are being extended for WS. This talk traces some of the trends in the WS arena. The paper on which this talk is based was published in the 3rd VLDB Workshop on Technologies for E-Services (TES'02).
