Web Services Web Services is really an old idea about open, scaleable, distributed computing with the relatively new twist of being Internet-centric. Nearly ubiquitous high speed networks have triggered Web Services. They can be thought of as self-contained software components or objects that are assembled over those networks [and therefore deliverable as something like a streamed service] using standard protocols to perform non-standard functions or to execute almost anything from simple programs to even complex business processes. |
