2005 Web Services Workshop Registration

Web Services: A Mechanism for Across-the-Internet On-Demand Computing and Communication

When:  Wednesday, June 8, 2005, 9 AM - 5 PM
Where: Skamania Lodge, Stevenson, Washington

The purpose of this workshop is to examine these Across-the-Internet On-Demand methods in contrast to more familiar script- or java-based methods. While evolving, four principal IT methods are currently widely used to provide distributed computing services: java servlets, CORBA, java-RMI, and web services. These methods have strengths, weaknesses, and are better at different types of computing purposes. The workshop will explore these differences and then examine in more depth the method of web services. Web Services can be used to create a true community library of remote computing modules ranging from the very simple (e.g., latitude-longitude to UTM conversion) to the heavy duty (modeling codes). The goal of the workshop is to give participants sufficient conceptual understanding in order to know which method to choose when planning to offer online service to others. Workshop target audience consists of scientists, project leaders or adminstrators, students. IRIS offers supplemental financial support to attend this workshop in advance of the main IRIS meeting. IRIS will offer a followup workshop later in 2005 aimed at students and programmers who wish to learn how to create a web service.
