Web Service Compositions: SotA, Limitations and Potential

by Charles J. Petrie, Jr., Ph.D.

Stanford University, CA, USA

Abstract: We examine the state-of-the-art in the use of web services in industry, focusing on the composition of WSDL-based services with BPEL, and the underlying protocols, issues and methodologies.

This approach has proved very useful as an IT tool, but less useful in producing any functionality in business because of this very utility. We discuss briefly why new functionality will be needed, especially in the automotive industry.

We show some of the reasons why the WSDL/BPEL approach is limited, and describe current academic research to develop technologies that overcome these limitations. We also discuss why this research is not very credible in industry.

We advocate an approach that recognizes the IT utility but will eventually lead to new functionality. However, this approach requires industry support of academic research in order to work on real data and problems and for academics to understand how industry thinks.

On behalf of his TAG initiated yearly visit to Germany, Charles J. Petrie, Ph.D., a renowned expert in this field, and currently Sr. Research Scientist with the Stanford Computer Science Department in Stanford; CA, USA, will give a talk on this subject.

WHEN - on 20 June 2005

WHERE – in Stuttgart Möhringen

Konferenzraum: Bldg. 10, Room 307

TIME - 14:00 to14:40 h

Following his talk we will have an open forum discussion with all participants for another 35 minutes approximately; thus, your active participation in fostering the discussion will be very much appreciated.
