I know I have a whole magazine devoted to answering that question, but I think one of the most interesting parts of the magazine is that the answers are different for different people and from different people. So to start things off I'll go down and ask each of the panelists that question. In your mind, Barry, what are Web services? <http://www.sys-con.com/webservices/articleblast.cfm?id=111> The hottest buzz on Web services took place at Web Services Edge 2001 West during the CEO Panel discussion. Panel participants (back row, left to right): Annrai O'Toole, Chairman, Cape Clear; Sean Rhody, panel moderator and editor-in-chief, Web Services Journal; Dirk Slama, CEO, Shinka Technologies; Greg O'Connor, President, Sonic Software; (front row) Ali Kutay, founder of WebLogic and CEO, AltoWeb; Eileen Richardson, President and CEO, Infravio; and Barry Morris, CEO, Iona Technologies. <http://www.sys-con.com/xmledge/benfield.cfm> Benfield's keynote now on SYS-CON TV <http://www.sys-con.com/xmledge/benfield.cfm> ONLINE EXCLUSIVE: ORACLE KEYNOTE AT WEB SERVICES EDGE <http://www.sys-con.com/xmledge/kurian.cfm> <http://www.sys-con.com/xmledge/kurian.cfm> Kurian's keynote now on SYS-CON TV <http://www.sys-con.com/xmledge/kurian.cfm> Barry Morris: I would think we all kind of know what Web services are or we wouldn't be here. Let me give you sort of an overview. From a high level, it is a little bit like today's Web when you can put up a Web page and make it accessible to lots of people, that kind of notion of publishing a Web page to lots of people. Supposing you could do that with generic system assets, be they transactions or whatever. That is what I think about as fundamental concepts in Web services and obviously a whole bunch of standards associated with that. I think what is really important about it, three things that are really important about it� The first is that you've got this, this is really a set of trends, multidecade trends that have been in the industry now for some time moving towards openness, towards standards, towards more and more dynamic interaction, towards loose coupling, towards methodology. A whole bunch of things like that and trends which are in some ways democratizing the industry. <http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/N339.JavaDevelopersJournal.com/B48753.15;abr =!ie4;abr=!ie5;sz=150x400;ord=%5Btimestamp%5D?> Alt Text <http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/N339.JavaDevelopersJournal.com/B48753.15;abr =!ie4;abr=!ie5;sz=150x400;ord=%5Btimestamp%5D?> <http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/N339.JavaDevelopersJournal.com/B48753.15;abr =!ie4;abr=!ie5;sz=150x400;ord=%5Btimestamp%5D?> The second key thing, of course, is I think its unprecedented support from the industry. There have been very few technologies ever, I think maybe ASCII was the last one, that had support from every single competing manufacturer and software company. So you are seeing something which is guaranteed to succeed. It has that kind of effort behind it. I think the most significant thing, I compare it to the way the PC industry took on what was the mainframe and mini computer world. It completely broke apart the industry. Broke apart the power bases; it broke apart the economics of the industry, completely changed who were the leaders in the industry, and I think that is what we are looking at here in the context of Web services. Sean: Thanks, Barry. Dirk, what's your view? Dirk Slama: I think Web services are really more an evolutionary step forward than really this brand new paradigm or revolutionary thinking. In the history of DCD and CORBA, EJB and Web services, I think we are still trying to solve the same problem, distributed systems. So looking at Web services as a term, there are two things to me. It is Web, basically leveraging existing Web infrastructure which is good, like Barry said, it is open, Web infrastructure these days being inside the enterprise and outside the enterprise. So that is what people want to use. And then services. Services are for me really, well, I think we had RSQ with distributed objects for building systems. I think a lot of people felt that was still too much rocket science. A lot of people had problems building distributed systems and distributed objects. Services means it is a step back towards a very simple, RPC-based, document-centric approach. I think that it simplifies things.

One of the songs was entitled "Shine a Little Light," which is apropos for this month's editorial since our feature focus for this edition is Discovery. I took part in a panel discussion on Web services during our Web Services Edge East show in New York City at the end of September. A number of very august industry representatives joined me, including James Gosling, Rick Ross, and David Litwack. The panel covered a number of topics that are on the minds of anyone considering Web services, and one of the topics that received a great deal of attention was Discovery.( continued... <http://www.sys-con.com/webservices/article.cfm?id=93> ) WEB SERVICES NEWS IONA and Baan Form Alliance IONA, a leading e-business platform provider for Web services has entered into an OpenWorld Network Program Alliance agreement with Baan, the global provider of B2B collaborative commerce solutions and a unit of the Invensys Software Systems division of Invensys plc.
