System and method for facilitating access to network based services
First Claim
1. A method for establishing network services within a network having a plurality of service components, comprising:
- providing a plurality of interface modules to establish communications with one of the plurality of service components;
providing one logical access point to the plurality of interface modules to facilitate invocation of one of the plurality of service components;
receiving service component related parameters; and
selecting one of the plurality of service components in response to the invocation, wherein the service component related parameters provides dynamic selection optimization of the one of the plurality of service components.

Abstract
A system and method for facilitating web service component access. A One Logical View to Broker (OLVB) Application Program Interface (API) is established for application (402) in order to reduce the complexity of the application interface and subsequently increase the portability of application (402). Network Service Broker related parameters (204,304) allows the solicitation of the best match Network Service Broker or web service component, while hiding the selection detail from application (402). Real-time business relationships between Service Provisioning Infrastructure (208) and Network Service Brokers (212, 232, 238) is facilitated by using matchmaking function (416) within lookup function (414).

12. A system for facilitating network services in response to a service request and associated service request parameters, comprising:
-
a plurality of service components distributed within at least one network; and
an interface module having a plurality of interface objects to establish communications with one of the plurality of service components, the interface module including;
a lookup object in communication with the plurality of interface objects to establish connection parameters required between the one of the plurality of service components and one of the plurality of interface objects;
a data object in communication with the lookup object to provide parameters identifying attributes associated with the plurality of service components; and
a single logical access point to allow external access to the plurality of interface objects. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions for establishing network services within a network having a plurality of service components, the computer-executable instructions performing steps comprising:
-
providing a plurality of interface modules to establish communications with one of the plurality of service components, wherein one logical access point to the plurality of interface modules allows external invocation of one of the plurality of service components;
optionally receiving service component related parameters; and
selecting one of the plurality of service components in response to the invocation, wherein the service component related parameters provides dynamic selection optimization of the one of the plurality of service components. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
