Interoperability and eServices

Abstract

Abstract. eServices are the building blocks for loosely-coupled, distributed applications based on the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) principles. One of the major benefits they offer is interoperability both between components of service oriented systems and between different systems. Still, the variety and diversity of implementations and interpretations of SOA and the vast amount of emerging standards hinder interoperability. This paper examines interoperability requirements and related issues in the three major eServices categories: Web, Grid and P2P services. Our aim is to provide the basis for a roadmap towards improving interoperability of eServices.

“…The convergence of P2P and WS has already been proposed by many researchers (Yu et al, 2004b;Papazoglou et al, 2003;Taylor and Harrison, 2005;Tsalgatidou and Koutrouli, 2005;Baresi et al, 2007;Sioutas et al, 2008;Li et al, 2007) since both approaches leverage the SOC and they may benefit from each other's strengths. It is often stated that difference is what makes convergence intriguing.…”
