Web Services can be described as a platform-neutral, language-neutral architecture that employs three potentially independent players: the service broker, the service provider, and the service requester. It is a very loosely coupled model where components can use XML messaging and SOAP to talk to each other. Dynamic discovery technology can allow binding at execution time or deployment time, as opposed to development time. So it allows you to create just-in-time applications, just-in-time integration.

Before joining Systinet, Anne Thomas Manes was Director of Market Innovation at Sun Microsystems where she explored innovative ways to apply technology to create new solutions. Before joining Sun, Anne was a senior analyst with the Patricia Seybold Group, and editor-in-chief of "Distributed Computing Monitor", a monthly newsletter. Anne developed her expertise working in field service, education, system administration, development, product management, and technical evangelism at a number of the world's leading hardware and software companies such as Open Environment Corp, Digital Equipment Corp, Cullinet and IBM.
Dino Chiesa is a Strategist for Microsoft's .NET Enterprise Solutions Group. Dino has 15 years of experience in the software industry, primarily in server application development and distributed application architecture. Prior to coming to Microsoft, Dino worked for 8 years with IBM and Transarc as a consultant in the distributed middleware and application and transaction servers group, focusing on a variety of technologies including CORBA, DCE, distributed message queueing, CICS, enterprise Java, high-volume distributed transactional environments, and distributed security.
