Call for Papers & Participation 
The 2nd UAE Symposium on Web Services
Zayed University, Dubai, U.A.E
April 15-16, 2009
(Web site to be released soon)
 
 
Web services are emerging as a major technology for deploying automated
interactions between distributed and heterogeneous enterprise applications. 
Various standards support this deployment including WSDL, UDDI, and SOAP. 
These standards support respectively the definition of Web services, their 
advertisement to potential users, and finally their binding for invocation 
requirements. In general, composing Web services rather than accessing 
a single Web service is essential and provides better benefits to users.
