Web services enjoy more attention - if not popularity - than many other emerging technologies. Big vendors have placed their bets, first products are now shipping, and solutions are being deployed for customers in the field. Many questions, however, remain as to how, where and when this new architecture is best used.
In this joint presentation, Adam Gross of Grand Central and Brent Sleeper of the Stencil Group provide a candid overview on the state of the Web services market, in terms of technologies, players and customer use cases. This presentation anchors around the discussion of Web services in context of the Service Oriented Architectures, which represent the lessons of different distributed computing approaches learned over the past 10 years.
