Web Services Approach to Address the Challenges in Tribal Development
Abstract
In the world of ever-maturing distributed computing, service oriented architecture (SOA) and
representational state transfer (REST) are the popular distributed architectures whereas web
services, Windows communication foundation (WCF), .net remoting, etc., are the core
components of inter-service communications. In a multi-application environment, applications
multiply very fast and consequently inter-communication complexity grows at an alarming
rate. Simplifying the inter-application communication is a long desired goal for several
reasons. Specifically, in e-Governance type of solutions, where multiple applications are
implemented on different platforms and governed across departments, the inter-application
communication is of paramount importance for seamless service to citizens. Fail -over, load
balancing, security, etc., soon become nightmares and service management is challenged.
Distributed services and even more distributed service consumers make an inefficient
architecture – resulting in lower citizen value from systems. The objective is to develop a
prototype “Integrated Data Engine” that centralizes inter-application service calls as a proxy
which provides fault tolerance, security, load balancing capabilities, etc., with the specific
focus on tribal development sector.
