Web Service Discovery and Composition using the Web Service Integration Gateway

In recent years Web services and their associated standards have received an enormous amount of attention. Web services hold the promise of creating a distributed global repository of network addressable units of computation. This repository will undoubtedly generate a disruptive force that will fundamentally change not only the methodologies and techniques used for software construction, but will even challenge our perception of what constitutes a software application. In the future software applications will be increasingly amorphous, dynamically adapting their composition at run-time in response to changes in environmental context and conditions.
