Commonly Accessible Web Service Platform — Wiki-WS

Web service technology on the basis had to supply complete and reliable system components. Nowadays this technology is commonly used by companies providing results of their work to end users and hiding implementation details. This paper presents a SOA-enabled platform — Wiki-WS — that empowers users to deploy, modify, discover and invoke web services. Main concept of the Wiki-WS platform is searching and invocation of web services written by different workgroups in different technologies deployed on different servers. Wiki-based web service code modification allows engineers from any place to construct and to implement components, which are mature and ready to use. Components deployed in the platform cover different functionalities from various knowledge domains. Service categorization done by users and by the platform classification engine in the early deployment and every modification time tunes up future searching and usage decision processes. Fundamental architecture components and user categories characterization are described in this paper. There is also included presentation of sample scenarios of Wiki-WS usage and advantages derived from its deployment.
