Microsoft Corp. and a group of fellow-travelers are planning to release a new Web services specification late Tuesday, which will help provide Web services interoperability and support for occasionally-connected devices and systems, sources said
The new specification is called WS-Discovery and is supported by Microsoft, Canon Inc., BEA Systems Inc., and Intel Corp. The companies are set to announce the specification at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, sources said.
The WS-Discovery specification acts somewhat like the Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) standard, except it will focus on dealing with devices and systems that are not always connected to the network.
