Improving the Dependability of Web Services Integration

The WS-Mediator framework employs an off-the-shelf mediator architecture and resilience-explicit computing in pursuit of dependable, dynamic Web services integration. Web services and service-oriented architectures (SOAs) represent a new paradigm for building distributed computing applications. Web services offer advantages over conventional distributed computing middleware platforms. Web services´ loosely coupled architecture, combined with their standardized interoperability, lead to a new computing paradigm that supports the construction of more flexible and dynamic distributed applications
