TITEL: Web Services: Distributed Applications without Limits
========================================================================
ABSTRACT:
Web services technology is all about distributed computing. There is no
fundamentally new base concept behind this and related technologies. What
is really new is the reach of Web services and its ubiquitous support by
literally all major vendors. Most likely, heterogeneity will at the end no
longer
be an obstruction for distributed applications. As we will discuss, this
will have impact on application architectures, middleware, as well as the
way in which
people will think about computing and businesses use computing resources. We
sketch these impacts as well as some exemplary research work to be done to
actually build such an environment.
