Web Services and Service-Oriented Application Provisioning: An Analytical Study of Application Service Strategies

Overview As a new network computing technology, Web services help reduce application integration cost and have become the foundation for the next generation of service-oriented architecture. In this paper, the authors attempt to close this research gap by comparing three application service strategies for providing Web services of complementary functionalities, i.e., independent service vendors, joint venture, and strategic alliance. Although Web service integration is analogous to product bundling, the unique features of software integration, such as low integration cost and the possibility of creating an integrated Web service with new functionalities, have led to interesting analytical results not seen in the product bundling literature.
