Abstract

This paper reports on our experiences with using theemerging web service technologies and tools to create ademonstration information broker system as part of ourresearch into information management in a distributedenvironment. To provide a realistic context we chose tostudy the use of information in the healthcare domain,and this context sets some challenging parameters andconstraints for our research and for the demonstrationsystem. In this paper we both report on the extent towhich existing web service technologies have proved tobe mature enough to meet these requirements, and alsoassess their current limitations.
