Bio
Steve Vinoski is Chief Architect and VP Platform Technologies for IONA
Technologies in Boston, MA. Steve is also an IONA Fellow. He and Michi
Henning are the authors of "Advanced CORBA Programming with C++", published
in January 1999 by Addison Wesley Longman, and he has written the "Object
Interconnections" column for the C/C++ Users Journal (and formerly for SIGS
C++ Report) for the past six years with Dr. Douglas C. Schmidt. Steve's
current technical interests lie in the areas of business-to-business
integration (B2Bi) and Web Services.
The Truth About Web Services
Abstract
Web Services represents the evolution of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI),
traditional middleware such as CORBA, COM, and J2EE, and the Web itself.
Because the convergence of these three important areas of technology into
Web Services has broad industry support and interest, Web Services has the
chance to avoid the market and standards fragmentation that have plagued
its middleware ancestors. If this support continues and industry-wide Web
Services standards come to be, Web Services will become a truly ubiquitous
distributed systems platform.
Unfortunately, with such broad industry support comes unreasonable
expectations and hype. Not surprisingly, Web Services currently gets a lot
of attention as the next "Silver Bullet" that will magically solve all of
our distributed computing problems. Such expectations could very well hurt,
not help, progress on the Web Services front. In this talk, I discuss what
practical Web Services are, how they're evolving, and what problems they
can solve. I also discuss the hype surrounding Web Services and present
some actual examples where unreasonable expectations are being created.
