Abstract

In this paper we propose some web service design criteria which can be used in application design to produce high quality web services. We describe currently available methods for determining if web services meet those criteria. The verification methods we describe can be either undertaken using peer review processes or performed by automated utilities. Web services that meet these criteria will be both useful and useable in the production environment.
