Description for Web Services and Beyond Hardcover. Web services are small software programs that allow different applications from different sources to communicate with each other without time-consuming custom coding, and because all communication is in XML (extensible Mark-up Language), Web services are not tied to any one system. Num Pages: 588 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: UDB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 190 x 269 x 39. Weight in Grams: 1316.
This comprehensive text explains the principles and practice of Web services and relates all concepts to practical examples and emerging standards. Its discussions include:

Ontologies
Semantic web technologies
Peer-to-peer service discovery
Service selection
Web structure and link analysis
Distributed transactions
Process modelling
Consistency management.

The application of these technologies is clearly explained within the context of planning, negotiation, contracts, compliance, privacy, and network policies. The presentation of the intellectual underpinnings of Web services draws from several key disciplines such as databases, distributed computing, artificial intelligence, and multi-agent systems for techniques and formalisms. Ideas from these disciplines are united in the context of Web services and service-based applications.
