What Is the Role of Context in Web Services?

by Zakaria Maamar, D. Benslimane

Web services are nowadays emerging as a major technology for deploying automated interactions between distributed and heterogeneous applications. Various standards support this deployment, including WSDL, UDDI, and SOAP. These standards respectively support the definition of Web services, their advertisement to the community of users, and finally their binding for invocation purposes. In general, composing Web services rather than accessing a single Web service is essential and provides better benefits to users. Composition primarily addresses the situation of a user's request that cannot be satisfied by any available Web service, whereas a composite Web service obtained by combining available Web services may be used.
