I'm going to be talking at the
ACS Web Services
SIG in Sydney CBD this Wednesday (7th July) on Web Services and WSE 2.0. The
underlying theme of the talk is that messages are important (check out Savas'
new cult for evidence that this is so) and that WSE 2.0 has some useful
infrastructure for building applications from the message-up. The outline is:
- What is a Web Service?
- The Web Services Architecture RPC, RPC with Documents, REST, and
true Web Services.
- Principles of Service-Orientation
- WSE 2.0
- What is WSE?
- Motivation
- Convergence with Indigo
- WSE APIs
- Low-level message handling, through to high-level attributes.
- Supporting WS-* Protocols WS-Addressing, WS-Security, WS-Policy
- Example Application
- Noughts-and-Crosses (tic-tac-toe)
- Q&A
If you're going to be in the area on Wednesday evening it might be worth your
while dropping in. There'll certainly be some lively discussion. Failing that,
this talk is (if accepted) going to form the basis for a tutorial at
ICSOC 2004 where
Savas and I will be doing our
double act (think: geeky Ant and Dec). It'll also be replayed within the CS
department at the University of Sydney as part of the regular lab seminar series
at some point in August.
The downside to this talk happening on Wednesday is that it's also the final
State of Origin game - and the
decider to boot. I fear that discussion will be cut short as I'll have to head
off to Telstra Stadium to see the Blues stuff the Maroons, otherwise I'll be in
bother with my rugby league-obsessed other half.
