Intégration de services. Une analyse structurée

The democratization of internet along with recent advances in information technologies have made the global networked marketplace vision a reality. To stay competitive in such an environment, companies promote and integrate their services in order to build new added-value services (applications). While the number of works that come up with new ideas and solutions for integrating services grows in an ever-increasing pace, few surveys try to draw a state of the art of existing solutions. A step in this direction, this paper proposes a taxonomy that characterizes services integration through three main concepts, service, service binding and orchestration. The proposed taxonomy is used as a grid for comparing existing services integration solutions and highlighting their advantages and limitations.
