1. A system for providing web services, comprising:
- a service library configured to store one or more web services;
one or more service hosts connected to a network and adapted to receive and fulfill deployment requests for the web services stored in the service library, wherein fulfilling deployment requests includes instantiating one or more endpoints of one of the web services;
a host directory connected to the service hosts and configured to store data related to the one or more service hosts; and
a manager configured to query the host directory and the service library, match one or more of the web services with one or more of the service hosts, and transmit deployment requests to one or more of the service hosts.

Abstract
Techniques for providing and consuming web services, including a service library configured to store one or more web services and a host directory connected to service hosts, configured to store data related to the service hosts. The service hosts are a network and adapted to receive and fulfill deployment requests for the web services stored in the service library by instantiating one or more endpoints of one of the web services. A manager is configured to query the host directory and the service library, generate a deployment plan, and transmit deployment requests to the one or more service hosts.

10. A method for providing web services, comprising:
-
storing one or more web services in a service library; storing data related to one or more service hosts in a host directory; controlling, with a manager, deployment of the one or more web services on one or more service endpoints on each of the one or more service hosts, wherein controlling deployment includes; querying the service library and host directory to retrieve information about the one or more web services and the data related to the one or more service hosts; matching one or more of the web services with one or more of the service hosts using the information about the one or more web services and the data related to the one or more service hosts; transmitting deployment requests one or more of the service hosts; and instantiating the one or more endpoints of one of the web services in response to the deployment requests. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method for consuming web services, comprising:
-
binding a consumer agent to a point of presence; communicating, via the point of presence, with a discovery service to resolve a URL corresponding to a service endpoint corresponding to a desired web service URI; and binding the point of presence to the service endpoint; wherein the discovery service is configured to communicate with a manager, the manager configured to query a host directory and a service library, match one or more web services with one or more service hosts, and transmit deployment and undeployment requests to one or more of the service hosts, one of which is configured to instantiate the service endpoint. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)

21. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that when executed cause one or more computer devices to perform a method of providing web services, the method comprising:
-
storing one or more web services in a service library; storing data related to one or more service hosts in a host directory; controlling, with a manager, deployment of the one or more web services on one or more service endpoints on each of the one or more service hosts, wherein controlling deployment includes; querying the service library and host directory to retrieve information about the one or more web services and the data related to the one or more service hosts; matching one or more of the web services with one or more of the service hosts using the information about the one or more web services and the data related to the one or more service hosts; transmitting deployment requests one or more of the service hosts; and instantiating the one or more endpoints of one of the web services in response to the deployment requests. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that when executed cause one or more computer devices to perform a method for consuming web services, the method comprising:
-
binding a consumer agent to a point of presence; communicating, via the point of presence, with a discovery service to resolve a URL corresponding to a service endpoint corresponding to a desired web service URI; and binding the point of presence to the service endpoint; wherein the discovery service is configured to communicate with a manager, the manager configured to query a host directory and a service library, match one or more service hosts with one or more web services, and transmit deployment and undeployment requests to the one or more service hosts, one of which is configured to instantiate the service endpoint. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31)
