Building Robust Web Services Applications

The ability to provide robust implementations is a very important aspect in creating high quality Web Services enabled applications and accelerating the adoption of Web Services. The OASIS Framework for Web Services Implementation Technical Committee (OASIS FWSI TC) aims to spearhead this goal by defining a practical and extensible methodology consisting of implementation processes and common functional elements that practitioners can adopt to create high quality Web Services systems without reinventing them for each implementation.

This Forum focuses on explaining the business benefits as well as the technical details of the OASIS FWSI Functional Elements Specification and the Implementation Methodology Guideline.

The OASIS FWSI Functional Elements Specification defines a set of Functional Elements for practitioners to translate into technical specifications. It is the purpose of this specification to define the appropriate level of abstraction for these Functional Elements and to specify the purpose and scope of each of them. This is to facilitate efficient and effective implementation of Web Services.

The OASIS FWSI Implementation Methodology Guideline specifies activities in the Web Services implementation process. It illustrates the approach to incorporate these activities into an existing agile software development methodology.

Through this forum, the OASIS FWSI TC seeks the participation of local organisations to implement the committee draft of the Functional Elements specification.

OASIS FWSI Functional Elements Specification – Ms.Tan Puay Siew (SIMTech)

Ms. Tan Puay Siew, Chair of the Functional Elements Sub committee gave an introduction to the concept of Functional Elements and how Functional Elements are discovered from the Functional Elements Requirements.

Slides

Overview of Web Services Component Suite (WSCS) – Ms. Tan Puay Siew(SIMTech)

Ms Tan, presented an overview of WSCS which complies to the OASIS FWSI Functional Elements Specification.

Slides

Case example of Functional Elements Applications – Mr. Jason Cheng (SIMTech) and Mr. Jagdip Talla (CrimsonLogic)

A business scenario was used to demonstrate how Functional Elements are used in Web Services applications development.

OASIS FWSI Implementation Methodology – Mr. Lee Han Boon (SIMTech), Mr. Cheng Yushi (SIMTech) and Mr. Guo Jian Yu (GridNode)

Mr. Lee Han Boon presented an overview of the generic Web Services Implementation Guideline.

Slides

Mr. Cheng Yushi illustrated the case example of applying the Web Services Implementation Guideline to the Rational Unified Process (RUP). This modified RUP is jointly developed by SIMTech and IBM.
