Abstract
Recent advances of Web service technology will have far-reaching effects on Internet and enterprise networks. Web services based on the eXtensible Markup Language (XML), Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), and related open standards, and deployed in Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs), allow data and applications to interact through dynamic and ad hoc connections. Web services technology can be implemented in a wide variety of architectures, can coexist with other technologies and software design approaches, and can be adopted in an evolutionary manner without requiring major transformations to legacy applications and databases. Despite the heterogeneity of the underlying platforms, Web services enhance interoperability and are thus able to support business applications composed by chains of Web services.
