Explanation of Web Services<\/h2>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Web Service<\/em> is functionality provided automatically by a web site to other sites.\u00a0 As an illustration, suppose that you reserve a flight from Boston to Phoenix.\u00a0 A series of inter-website services would be initiated automatically, resulting in interaction with you via your browser like the following.<\/p>\n

Your Personal Web Service Supervisor has learned of your flight from Boston to Phoenix on May 10, 2002.\u00a0 Using the profile you placed on file at www.ParticipatingProfiles.com, the following options have been prepared for you by the sites listed below.\u00a0 These options have been inspected for price-competitiveness by http:\/\/intercheap.com\/, as you requested in your profile at www.BestPrices.com<\/a>.\u00a0 The features stated are quoted from the vendors\u2019 URLs as of March 29, 2002.\u00a0 Payment for the services you approve will be made according to the payment procedure that you placed on file at Payment Methods.<\/a><\/p>\n

To reserve a limousine from your house in Jamaica Plain to Logan, select one of the following options.<\/p>\n

\u2026\u2026. (names, times, prices, features) \u2026.<\/p>\n

To reserve a car rental from Phoenix International, select one of the following options.<\/p>\n

\u2026\u2026. (names, times, prices) \u2026.<\/p>\n

To reserve a hotel room in Phoenix, select one of the following options.<\/p>\n

\u2026\u2026. (names, times, prices) \u2026.<\/p>\n

\u2026 Automatic entries to travel expense report and personal calendar \u2026 Confirmation of payment, total, etc.<\/p>\n

Web Services are likely to be at the heart of the next generation of Web applications.<\/p>\n

            Paper and Project Structure<\/h2>\n

            Students will be required to research at least one contemporary Web Services topic.\u00a0 There will be a proposal phase, counting for \u00bc of the grade, and a final phase for the paper.\u00a0 The final submission should include a copy of the first phase, showing the instructor’s comments and indicating how they are addressed in the final submission.\u00a0\u00a0 You can look through past forums for what has been covered by others.<\/p>\n

            Students will be required to give a presentation.\u00a0 Here are some guidelines for the presentation.<\/p>\n

            1. Title<\/p>\n

            2. The technology’s goals\u00a0 (Cite your example if possible)<\/p>\n

            3. Summary of the technology<\/p>\n

            4. Some of the technology’s details (Cite your example if possible)<\/p>\n

            5. Example with selected details.(If you have not already covered it)<\/p>\n

            6. Your conclusions and opinions<\/p>\n

            \n

            Evaluation of Students<\/h2>\n

            The semester grade will be computed from the paper and several short homework papers and quizzes will be required on a pass\/fail basis.\u00a0All submitted papers and projects must be posted to a class web site when submitted.\u00a0 Students may decline to post material, but only if they submit notice of this declination via e-mail to the instructor at the due date.<\/p>\n

            Students may be given a number of pass\/fail assignments<\/span> throughout the semester.\u00a0 A \u201cPass\u201d grade is required.\u00a0 A grade of A or A+ may be given for a pass\/fail homework when the student has performed exceptionally and gone well beyond the requirements of the problem.<\/p>\n

            80% of the course grade will be based on the project\/paper; 20% on the homework.<\/p>\n

            Late homework<\/span> will not be accepted unless there is a reason why it was impossible<\/em> to perform the work in time given work and emergency conditions.\u00a0 In that case, the written reason should be attached to the homework, which will be graded on a pass\/fail basis if the impossibility is accepted by me.<\/p>\n

            \n

            Presentation recommendations<\/h2>\n

            The purpose of the end-of-semester presentation is to share with the class your impressions and lessons learned from carrying out the term project.\u00a0 The following format usually works well.<\/p>\n

            2-4 mins: Describe the application (1-3 slides)<\/p>\n

            2-4 mins: Describe the technology selected (1-3 slides)<\/p>\n

            5-7 mins: Describe the design and outcome; use diagrams and screenshots where appropriate (1-3 slides)<\/p>\n

            4-7 mins: Describe negative lessons learned (concentrate on your criteria and include scalability) (1-3 slides)<\/p>\n

            4-7 mins: Describe positive lessons learned (concentrate on your criteria and include scalability) (1-3 slides)<\/p>\n

            17-29 minutes total without questions.\u00a0 The actual time allowed will depend on the number of students presenting that evening since we will end class at 8:15.<\/p>\n

            \n

            Warning concerning plagiarism<\/h2>\n

            Please cite all references and uses of the work of other.\u00a0 All instances of plagiarism must be reported to the College for action.\u00a0 e-mail, see or call me if you have any doubts about the proper use of others\u2019 material. In any case, clearly acknowledge all sources in the context they are used, including code, of course.<\/p>\n
