  abstract =	 {This comprehensive text explains the principles and
                  practice of Web services and relates all concepts to
                  practical examples and emerging standards. Its
                  discussions include: Ontologies Semantic web
                  technologies Peer-to-peer service discovery Service
                  selection Web structure and link analysis
                  Distributed transactions Process modelling
                  Consistency management. The application of these
                  technologies is clearly explained within the context
                  of planning, negotiation, contracts, compliance,
                  privacy, and network policies. The presentation of
                  the intellectual underpinnings of Web services draws
                  from several key disciplines such as databases,
                  distributed computing, artificial intelligence, and
                  multi-agent systems for techniques and
                  formalisms. Ideas from these disciplines are united
                  in the context of Web services and service-based
                  applications. Featuring an accompanying website and
                  teacher's manual that includes a complete set of
                  transparencies for lectures, copies of open-source
                  software for exercises and working implementations,
                  and resources to conduct course projects, this book
                  makes an excellent graduate textbook. It will also
                  prove an invaluable reference and training tool for
                  practitioners.},
