Web services
do not provide GUIs, instead these shares business logic, data, and process through a programmatic interface across a network thus establishing distributed computation.

Web services
are a set of protocols named
Web services
description language (WSDL), uniform description, discovery and integration (UDDI) and simple object access protocol (SOAP) used to exchange data between applications regardless of their platform, language or object model. In this interaction, there are three actors, 1. A service provider defines with the WSDL language the format for request and response of
services
it generates 2. A UDDI registry stores the
services
descriptions published by the service provider 3. A service consumer in need can make a request and find a particular service description in the UDDI registry. It subsequently calls this service through the SOAP protocol and requires it to perform some action at the provider’s location and send back the result. Current examples
Web services
are weather information service, authentication service, Foreign exchange service and Knowledge base service.

web services
were information sources (Schneider, 2003). From a technological perspective,
web services
are Internet-based application components published using standard interface description languages and universally available via uniform communication protocols.

service is a point of interaction to either give inputs/receive outputs from a business process. The
web
server provides the
web
service. They run in the background and wait for clients to connect to them. Basically it frees the programmer of writing code for the
web
service. They are URL addressable and can be invoked by any browser by just typing the path to the

service.

Web services
are distributed information systems, which can be seen as an evolution of conventional distributed systems, such as middleware and workflow systems. According to W3C a
Web
service is a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network. In the traditional sense a
Web
service is a software system identified by a URI, whose public interfaces and bindings are defined and described using XML. Its definition can be discovered by other software systems. These systems may then interact with the
Web
service in a manner prescribed by its definition, using XML based messages conveyed by Internet protocols.
