Webservices – Academic Articles
The article I read
The academic article I read was located at http://www-staff.it.uts.edu.au/~rsteele/mobilewebservices.pdf. This article dealt with the topic of using web-service structures such as SOAP and XML to communicate information from access points in the vicinity to mobile devices. There were several reasons why they were interested in this topic but the greatest seemed to be the idea of automatically notifying users of services available in the vicinity.
My thoughts
As a whole this article spent a large amount of time defining exactly what they mean and want to talk about. To me it seemed to ramble on and overcomplicate the communication of what for a technical topic was actually quite simple. While a more general article may have less clout than an academically published article it would certainly be easier to read.
