XML Web Services have emerged as a key model for building low-friction, low-cost, high-function integration interfaces between disparate, loosely-coupled systems. Hype aside, many vendors are investing aggressively in XML web services, and tools and capabilities are maturing rapidly. Within this talk, we will cover:
* A brief review of the technology foundation of web services
* Architectural models for web services
* An examination of web services platforms, including comparisons between J2EE
       and Microsoft's .NET platform
* A discussion of interoperability issues
* What's real and what's not
