Abstract:
Software services seek to combine the advantages of traditional client applications and web services. Software services go beyond web services in supporting rich interaction when networks are slow, unreliable or nonexistent. At the same time, software services retain the advantages associated with web services: they are always available and always up to date. Software services have the potential to radically transform software development, as they enable a world without versions and releases. We discuss the advantages of dynamic object oriented language principles in facilitating the design of an object based platform for software services.
