International Conference on Web Services, Polermo, Italy (June 2006).
Web Services are fast becoming the default "interface" for implementing
a variety of web browser enabled applications.
The idea seems simple enough: provide an API from which it
becomes possible to implement a particular web applications
simply by invoking the appropriate service at the appropriate time.
But if it is so easy, you wonder, why isn't EVERYTHING done this way?
Some of the reasons for the relatively limited
(or not so well known)
introduction of web services (so far)
are addressed in part at the
International Workshop on Web Services Modeling and Testing,
scheduled for June 2006 in Polermo, Italy.
The workshop attacks some of the main issues surrounding affirming
web quality services,
which largely surround the technically difficult
process of accurately and reliably specifying what's what,
so that an application that uses web services as the implementation
base can, itself, be validated.
As we all know, if a technology can't be verified and validated
it probably won't catch as quickly as if it can be.
It's not a simple matter, and this workshop may answer some
fundamental questions. And, it might be a very good
excuse to schedule a trip to Sicily if you haven't been there
(certainly recommended).
But don't even think about renting a car there! Take taxis!
