    abstract     = "With an established Web Services Framework to expose the functionalities of Maconomy {ERP} system asWeb Services (WS), Maconomy has an interest in the area of specialized client-server protocols, which could be leveraged to support generic clients in a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA).

The main objective of the master project is to investigate two specific {WS} protocols for {SOA} - “Microsoft Information Bridge Framework (IBF)” and “Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP)”, and evaluate the compatibility of Maconomy Web Services with them.

Finally, an {IBF-}based prototype was proposed and implemented successfully to demonstrate the feasibility of supporting a generic client with Maconomy Web Services."
