Hi all,
My apologies to those of you for whom Web Services technology and standards
is old hat. But the June issue of the Communications of the ACM is devoted
to Web Services. For me, some of the overview articles describing the
relationship among the various evolving technologies and standards are very
useful. The alphabet soup is still there, but there are some helpful
architectural diagrams and succint descriptions of the components and their
state of evolution. Many of the later articles are on business/marketing
applications, but even some of that is interesting from the point of view
that this is not simply an academic exercise -- for better or for worse.
I thought you might be interested. I think there is a way to get at one
free issue of the CACM on a trial basis online, but I can't figure out how
to get at this one. It may be too soon.
--Ben
