Title What's wrong with web services. Part II: The Free Speech way
Abstract During my last talk I showed how existing web service protocols hinder building a truely open web of services. The remote function call style of implementing services introduces heavy restrictions on compatibility which are not driven by contraints from the domain, but follow only from the choice of protocol. Last time I did not provide any solution at all. This time I will focus on a solution: The Free Speech system. I'll introduce a new way of thinking about inter-service communication, and will replace 'communication by invocation' by true communication about the task at hand. The Free Speech system will be illlustra ted by actual output from a prototype implementation.
