Abstract

This dissertation is based on the topic of “A Framework for Web Service Project Coordination”. The first chapter provides an introduction to the topic including the purpose and significance of the study. The second chapter presents a review of relevant literature, highlighting the previous research carried out in this field. The third chapter covers the requirements analysis for the web service project, followed by the design considerations for the system presented in the fourth chapter. The fifth chapter is based on implementation of design and algorithm used for this particular project. The sixth chapter presents the processes of the testing phase for the system, while the seventh chapter provides an overall evaluation of the proposed system. The eighth chapter provides a summarised overview of the whole paper including recommendations for future research.

1. INTRODUCTION

 

1.1. Background

Many organisations are being developed to construct up, function and coordinate the world very very broad world very broad world broad web services; all have their own advantages and drawbacks. The foundation of the service oriented architecture is world very very broad world very broad world broad web service, and the attractiveness is that they can coordinate with each other to provide assemblage of service. Now the enquiry is how they can coordinate. In the SOA development utilising Enterprise architecture, the Enterprise architects ...
