With WSDL, SOAP and UDDI, Web services are becoming popular with Web application. However, current Web services architecture is confronted with a few intractable problems. We shall give an overview of these problems and current efforts. Finally, we set an eye on the amalgamation of Web services and Grid technologies.

The rapid evolution of the web has affected the way under which the manufacturing process is practised. In this paper, a web based framework – independent from any specific CAD/CAM software – is proposed, for employing electronic interaction between designers and manufacturers. In this context, designers and manufacturers communicate for the manufacturing of a workpiece, under a platform-indepe...

The Simple and Protected GSS-API Negotiation Mechanism defined here is a pseudo-security mechanism, represented by the object identifier iso.org.dod.internet.security.mechanism.snego (1.3.6.1.5.5.2) which enables GSS-API peers to determine in-band whether their credentials share common GSS-API security mechanism(s), and if so, to invoke normal security context establishment for a selected commo...

Several Generic Security Service Application Program Interface (GSS-API) applications work in a multi-tiered architecture, where the server takes advantage of delegated user credentials to act on behalf of the user and contact additional servers. In effect, the server acts as an agent on behalf of the user. Examples include web applications that need to access e-mail or file servers, including ...

With the sharp increase of hacking attacks over the last couple of years, web application security has become a key concern. SQL injection is one of the most common types of web hacking and has been widely written and used in the wild. This paper analyzes the principle of SQL injection attacks on Web sites, presents methods available to prevent IIS+ASP+MSSQL web applications from these kinds of...

With the rapid development of Web2.0 and its related technologies, Mashup services (i.e., Web applications created by combining two or more Web APIs) are becoming a hot research topic. The explosion of Mashup services, especially the functionally similar or equivalent services, however, make services discovery more difficult than ever. In this paper, we present an approach to recommend Mashup s...

The paper is structured as follows. In section 2 we give a short overview of the different phases of WSDM. In the next sections we elaborate the Conference Review case study.
