EVALUATION DETAILS Explicit invocation of services T: Web services are typically used in a client-server environment. Solutions exist for peer to peer (service to service) etc… Web services have been designed to support clients and servers at least one of which is operating directly on behalf of the user requesting the service. In addition, work on-going at OMA and JCP addresses some of these issues in mobile environment with the introduction of possible web service gateways. Server Location and Load Balancing T: Web services are widely developed for e-business applications. Numerous tools and mechanisms have been provided for service discovery ad advertisement. In addition, numerous offerings provide routing and load balancing capabilities as part of the web application server used to deploy the web service. Note that web services do not specify server location or load balancing; but they are deployed on systems that provide such functionalities. As web services are expected to be widely used in the future and central to most e-business offerings, it is to expect that such tools will become even more pervasive and efficient. |
