The Truth About Web Services
"Web Services" may be a bad name but it represents the very
good idea of letting applications exchange data over the Internet. Web
service standards are a simple techology with the potential for huge impact.
As the browser and HTML did for documents, so SOAP and WSDL will do for
applications: make them available to any other application, any place,
anytime.
With this approach, barriers to application integration
come down. Things get really interesting when firms and individuals build
new software networks that use Web Services to link and relate data, applications,
and devices. The impact of Web Service standards will be felt in three
overlapping waves of adoption: opportunistic integration, business Web
services, and new software networks. This session will reveal why this
is important and how this transformation will unfold.
