Abstract

Platform and programming language independence, coupled with industry momentum, has made Web services the technology of choice for most enterprise integration projects. Their close relationship with SOA (service-oriented architecture) has also helped them gain mindshare. Consider this definition of SOA: "An architectural style whose goal is to achieve loose coupling among interacting software agents. A service is a unit of work done by a service provider to achieve desired end results for a service consumer. Both provider and consumer are roles played by software agents on behalf of their owners." Although SOA doesn’t mandate Web services, its emphasis on loose coupling requires use of something with the characteristics of Web services.

Composing Web Services: A QoS View

An Internet application can invoke several services--a stock-trading Web service, for example, could invoke a payment service, which could then invoke an authentication service. Such a scenario is called a composite Web service, and it can be specified ...
Process model-based atomic service discovery and composition of composite semantic web services using web ontology language for services OWL-S

Web Service composition has become indispensable as a single web service cannot satisfy complex functional requirements. Composition of services has received much interest to support business-to-business B2B or enterprise application integration. An ...
Web Services Lookup: A Matchmaker Experiment

UDDI is a standard registry for Web services, but so far its search functionality has been limited to keyword search. These authors propose a UDDI enhancement called Matchmaker, which supports semantic service capability discovery. Since September 2003, ...
