Abstract
Considered as enablers of seamless application-to- application integration both within company boundaries and on a global scale, Web Services-based SOAs have traditionally focused on automating service-to-service collaboration. However, they have never featured a "face " to human users. This gap between human users and services still prevents enterprises from realizing how innovations at the SOA front-end help to make people more productive. And, ultimately, it hinders the emergence of a real Web of Services driven by a global, user-centric SOA. In this paper, we revisit the notion of SOA and analyze its major shortcomings with regard to the emergence of a Web of Services enhancing user-service interaction and increased service usability. We then elaborate on novel, currently emerging technologies that facilitate the establishment of the global mesh of interoperable user-centric services. A novel platform architecture is presented that builds on all the key technical enablers.
作为在公司边界和全球范围内实现应用程序到应用程序无缝集成的推动者,基于Web服务的soa传统上专注于自动化服务到服务协作。然而,它们从未向人类用户展示过一张“脸”。人类用户和服务之间的这种差距仍然阻碍企业认识到SOA前端的创新如何帮助人们提高工作效率。而且,最终,它阻碍了由全局的、以用户为中心的SOA驱动的真正的服务Web的出现。在本文中,我们将重新审视SOA的概念,并分析其主要缺点,因为Web of Services的出现增强了用户-服务交互并提高了服务可用性。然后,我们详细介绍了当前新兴的新技术,这些技术有助于建立可互操作的以用户为中心的服务的全球网格。提出了一种基于所有关键技术支持因素的新型平台体系结构。
