Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) Implemented with Web Services Are Fundamentally Changing Business Processes Supported by Distributed Computing.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c33252) has announced the addition of Mobile Web Services (1) Loosely, any online service delivered over the Web. Such usage appears in articles from non-technical sources, but not in IT-oriented publications, because definition #2 below describes the correct use of the term. : Architecture and Implementation to their offering. Mobile Web Services create new possibilities for the mobile telecommunications market. Through mobile Web services, operators can offer new value-added services A value-added service (VAS) is a telecommunications industry term for non-core services or, in short, all services beyond standard voice calls and fax transmissions. for their users, spanning PC and mobile devices, explore new business opportunities and increase revenue and customer retention. This expands the commercial opportunities for developers to further promote their applications and enable solutions that work seamlessly across PC and mobile environments. Customers can benefit from new integrated services In computer networking, IntServ or integrated services is an architecture that specifies the elements to guarantee quality of service (QoS) on networks. IntServ can for example be used to allow video and sound to reach the receiver without interruption. across wired and wireless networks and PC and mobile devices. This allows users the flexibility to use preferred device or mode of communication as best suited to needs and availability and enable a more holistic experience across various devices. This book assists and supports companies in adapting Mobile Web Services-based applications, explaining the key network elements, software components and protocols needed to develop such services. It explains mobile-specific issues such as intermittent reach ability of mobile phones, lack of fixed IP addresses, and how these affect the mobile SOA (1) (Start Of Authority) The first record in a DNS zone file. See DNS records. (2) (Service Oriented Architecture) The modularization of business functions for greater flexibility and reusability. . It includes material on the mobile Web Services framework as well as the basic requirements for accessing web services, such as security issues, discussing authentication (1) Verifying the integrity of a transmitted message. See message integrity, e-mail authentication and MAC. (2) Verifying the identity of a user logging into a network. and Liberty specifications. Mobile Web Services: Architecture and Implementation: --Provides a complete and authoritative text on implementing mobile Web services. --Describes the mobile Service-Oriented Architecture See SOA. (SOA) concept. --Covers the discovery, description and security of Web services. --Explains how to use Simple Object Access Protocol (protocol) Simple Object Access Protocol - (SOAP) A minimal set of conventions for invoking code using XML over HTTP. DevelopMentor, Microsoft Corporation, and UserLand Software submitted SOAP to the IETF as an internal draft in December 1999. Latest version: SOAP 1. (SOAP) in Web service messaging. --Discusses the challenges and possibilities of mobile Web services, and gives case studies to illustrate the application of the technology. --Presents the Nokia Mobile Web Services platform. --Offers material on developing mobile Web service clients using C++ and Java. This text is essential reading for wireless Web architects, mobile application developers and programmers, software developers, technical officers and consultants, as well as advanced students in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering electrical engineering: see engineering. electrical engineering Branch of engineering concerned with the practical applications of electricity in all its forms, including those of electronics. . Chapters Include: Chapter 1: Introduction. Chapter 2: Introduction to XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. . Chapter 3: Introduction to Service-Oriented Architectures. Chapter 4: Agreement.

Chapter 10: C++ Client Development. Appendix A: Web Services Standards Organizations. Appendix B: Nokia Web Services Development API (Application Programming Interface) A language and message format used by an application program to communicate with the operating system or some other control program such as a database management system (DBMS) or communications protocol. - Quick Reference. Appendix C: References. Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) implemented with Web services are fundamentally changing business processes supported by distributed computing (1) The use of multiple computers networked throughout a wide geographical area, or the world via the Internet, in order to solve a single problem. See grid computing. (2) The use of multiple computers in an enterprise rather than one centralized system. . These technologies bring forward the promise of services available at any time, in any place, and on any platform. Through mobile Web services, operators can offer new value-added services for their users to explore new business opportunities and increase revenue and customer retention. This expands the commercial opportunities for developers to promote their applications and enables solutions that work seamlessly across computer and mobile environments. Mobile Web Services is a comprehensive, up-to-date and practical guide to adapting mobile Web services-based applications. The expert author team from Nokia explain in depth the software architecture and application development interfaces needed to develop solutions for these technologies.
