WEB SERVICES

ABSTRACT:

Web services are a natural consequence of the evolution of the Web into an open medium which facilitates complex business and scientific application interactions. Web services are concerned with the problems of enabling systematic application-to-application interactions over the Web, and the integration of the existing network computer infrastructure into the Web. The key components of this work are a focus on interoperability, support for efficient application integration, and the creation of a uniform representation of applications within heterogeneous distributed systems.

The Web services model builds upon existing industry standardization efforts centered on the Extensible Markup Language (XML), and proposes a two pronged approach to deal with the interoperability requirements associated with heterogeneous systems: enable base interoperability using a small set of common protocols, and develop a uniform representation of network applications which are accessible using multiple communication protocols.
The goal of Web services is to provide a flexible framework where universal interoperability does not preclude efficient integration.
