Closing the Gap between Web Applications and Web Services

The WWW is the killerapp of the internet. In recent years an enormously increasing number of Web Applications, as a means of human-to-computer interaction, showed up, that allows a visitor of a certain website to interact with the website. Additionally the approach of Web Services was introduced in order to allow computer-to-computer interaction on the basis of standardized protocols. This paper shows how the gap between Web Applications and Web Services can be closed by making Web Applications available to computer-to-computer interaction by a systematic approach.
