Web services are
the critical enabler for interoperability
in today's business and technology landscape.
As Web services have rapidly matured over
the past several years along with J2EE
and integration server technology, business
innovators now have tools designed for
building services-oriented systems that
flexibly drive greater business value
at dramatically lower technology cost.
What
standards are needed to make Web Services
work? Will open source prevail? What are
the new and emerging web services technologies
that will take off. An industry panel
debates the issues in the web services
arena.
In
the aftermath of the Internet bubble,
observers, survivors and players look
at the future of the web, implications
of recent developments and the challenges
to be faced.
It is fashionable, but premature, to write
off the Infocomm Industries in general,
and its implications for entrepreneurs
in particular. Beneath the wreckage of
the dot.coms and the myriad immediate
crises, many of the most extravagant claims
made about the Internet in the 1990s are
quietly coming to pass in unexpected ways.
This quiet revolution presents vast new
opportunities for innovators and risk-takers,
but only if they are willing to break
old assumptions and see the world in new
ways.
