Mobile web services mediation framework

ABSTRACT

Mobile data services in combination with profluent Web services are seemingly the path breaking domain in current information systems research. In mobile Web services sphere, resource constrained mobile terminals are used as both Web services clients and providers. While service delivery and management from Mobile Host are technically feasible, the ability to provide proper quality of service (QoS) and discovery mechanisms for the huge number of services possible with Mobile Hosts is observed to be very critical. We have studied the security, scalability and discovery aspects of the mobile Web services and the analysis has identified the necessity of a mediation framework. This paper summarizes our QoS and discovery research and discusses the realization details and features of our enterprise service bus technology based integration framework for mobile Web service provisioning.
