Web services @ MIT

Abstract

There are several useful web services developed at MIT by students, faculty and researchers. However, they are scattered all over MIT. Most people at MIT are unaware of the availability of these web services and hence they cannot leverage them. The thesis provides a solution to this problem called Web Services @ MIT that tracks all the web services scattered over MIT at a single location, with a brief description of the service they provide. Web Services @ MIT is intended to facilitate exploitation of both centrally and locally developed web services in a highly distributed enterprise such as MIT. While there is a compelling need for such a service, no such service is currently available at MIT. Web Services @ MIT is a portal built on top of IBuySpy Portal Solution Kit that allows one to build intranet and Internet application using ASP.NET along with Microsoft .NET Framework.
