Web Services Computing
Web
services are Internet-based, modular applications that perform a
specific business task and conform to a particular technical format.
The technical format ensures each of these self-contained business
services is an application that will easily integrate with other
services to create a complete business process. This interoperability
allows businesses to dynamically publish, discover, and aggregate a
range of Web services through the Internet to more easily create
innovative products, business processes and value chains.
For Web Services architecture, XML
plays a role of normalizing the exchange of business data among trading
partners by providing cross-platform approach in the areas of data
encoding and data formatting. Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP),
built on XML, defines a simple way to package information for
information exchange across system boundaries. Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) Registries, on
the other hand, allow programmable elements to be placed on Internet where
others can access remotely. A
typical usage of Web Services is Dynamic e-business integration, which
is the dynamic adaptation of business processes and associated systems
to support changing business scenarios.
Topics of interest include but are not restricted to:
- Web Services architecture
- Web Services security
- Web Services discovery
- Resource management for Web Services
- Dynamic invocation mechanism for Web Services
- Solution management for Web Services
- E-Commerce application using Web Services
- Quality of service for Web Services
- UDDI enhancements
- SOAP enhancements
- Web Services modeling
- Case studies for Web Services
