InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Microsoft, BEA Systems, and Tibco Software on Wednesday published a specification, WS-Eventing, which is intended to provide a common way of communicating events within and between Web services. The companies plan to submit the specification for consideration by an industry standards body such as W3C or OASIS. This submission will happen after seeking feedback and testing for interoperability during the next several months, according to a Microsoft representative. WS-Eventing is intended to provide a common way to communicate events, which are being defined as real-world occurrences that trigger actions in software, such as an order being placed or a package being shipped.
