Software Development - Web Services
Web services are a new breed of Web application that are self-contained, self-describing, modular applications that can be published, located, and invoked across the Web. Web services perform functions from simple requests to complicated business processes. Once a Web service is deployed, other applications as well as other Web services can discover and invoke the deployed service. This business service can be implemented as a stand-alone application or as a series of applications linked together by an application integration infrastructure. The attraction of web services is simplicity, firewall neutrality and lack of dependency on the implementation technology at the service end. Web Services have enormous potential for the deployment of Internet-based and service-oriented architectures.
