{{nihongo|'''''Love Live!'''''|ラブライブ!|Rabu Raibu!|lead=yes}} '''''School Idol Project''''' is a Japanese multimedia project co-developed by [[ASCII Media Works]]' ''[[Dengeki G's Magazine]]'', music label [[Lantis (company)|Lantis]], and animation studio [[Sunrise (company)|Sunrise]]. The project revolves around a group of fictional school girls who become idols in order to save their school from shutting down. It launched in the August 2010 issue of ''Dengeki G's Magazine'', and went on to produce music CDs, anime music videos, two [[manga]] adaptations, and video games. A 13-episode [[anime]] television series produced by Sunrise and directed by Takahiko Kyōgoku aired in Japan between January and March 2013, with a second season airing between April and June 2014. Both anime series and film are licensed in North America by [[Nippon Ichi Software|NIS America]]. An animated film has also been announced to be distributed by [[Shochiku]] as well as a new project titled '''''Love Live! Sunshine!!''''', featuring an all new cast of characters.

==Plot==
Honoka Kōsaka is a girl who loves her school, Otonokizaka Academy. When the school is planned to be closed down due to a lack of applicants, Honoka becomes determined to save it. Learning that school idols are popular, Honoka and her friends start up a school idol group called μ's (pronounced muse) in order to attract new students. Once they successfully prevent Otonokizaka Academy from closing, the girls from μ's aim for higher grounds and participate in "Love Live", the ultimate school idol competition featuring the best groups in the country.

==Characters==

===μ's===

:Honoka is the main character of the series, and is a second-year student at Otonokizaka Academy. Her family works in a ''[[wagashi]]'' shop named Homura. Honoka has a cheerful personality and she never gives up on anything, to the point of usually overexerting herself. Her hobbies include swimming and collecting stickers. She is the leader of μ's, and is seen taking center position in some of the group's songs. She later succeeds Eli as student council president.

;{{nihongo|Eli Ayase|絢瀬絵里|Ayase Eri}}

Official Web Site {{!}} Member Introduction|publisher=[[Sunrise (company)|Sunrise]]|accessdate =August 22, 2014|language=Japanese}}</ref>
:Eli is Otonokizaka Academy's third-year student council president who is determined to save the school. Although she opposes Honoka's plan at first, she ends up becoming the last girl to join μ's. She is part Russian because of her grandmother, and tends to say the Russian word "хорошо" ({{IPA-all|xərɐˈʂo}}; pronounced ''horosho'', "good"). Eli's specialty is quilting, and her experience with ballet qualifies her as the group's choreographer. She has two brothers, but a sister named Alisa ({{voiced by|[[Ayane Sakura]]}}) appears instead in the anime.

;{{nihongo|Kotori Minami|南ことり|Minami Kotori}}

Official Web Site {{!}} Member Introduction|publisher=[[Sunrise (company)|Sunrise]]|accessdate =August 22, 2014|language=Japanese}}</ref>
:Kotori is Honoka's classmate and childhood friend, who is the daughter of Otonokizaka Academy's chairwoman ({{voiced by|[[Noriko Hidaka]]}}), whom she closely resembles. She is known for having her head in the clouds despite holding responsibility as the group's wardrobe supervisor and choreographer. She also has a really kind heart, not wanting to hurt anybody. She becomes part of the student council.

;{{nihongo|Umi Sonoda|園田海未|Sonoda Umi}}

:Umi is Honoka's classmate and childhood friend who is a member of the school's ''[[kyūdō]]'' club, in which she is quite accurate. She believes Honoka is bossy and pushy, but realizes the perks of having an adventurous friend, usually acting as the voice of reason for her. As the daughter of a traditional family, Umi has expertise in ''[[kendō]]'', ''[[Koto (musical instrument)|koto]]'', ''[[nagauta]]'', calligraphy, and traditional dancing. She succeeds Nozomi as the student council vice president.

;{{nihongo|Rin Hoshizora|星空凛|Hoshizora Rin}}

:Rin is an athletic first-year student skilled in hurdling, association football and basketball. Like Honoka, Rin has a cheerful personality but loses motivation easily and is a tomboy. She also has a habit of acting like a cat. She later becomes the leader of μ's.

;{{nihongo|Maki Nishikino|西木野真姫|Nishikino Maki}}
:{{voiced by|[[Pile (voice actress)|Pile]]}}<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lovelive-anime.jp/member/member06.html|title=ラブライブ! Official Web Site {{!}} メンバー紹介|trans_title=Love Live! Official Web Site {{!}} Member Introduction|publisher=[[Sunrise (company)|Sunrise]]|accessdate =August 22, 2014|language=Japanese}}</ref>
:Maki is a first-year honor student expected to become a doctor and inherit her father's work in her parents' hospital despite being a talented singer and pianist, which leads her to refuse joining μ's at first. Maki is the main composer and vocal coach of the group. She later becomes the vice president of the Idol Research Club.

;{{nihongo|Nozomi Tojo|東條希|Tōjō Nozomi}}
:{{voiced by|[[Aina Kusuda]]}}<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lovelive-anime.jp/member/member07.html|title=ラブライブ! Official Web Site {{!}} メンバー紹介|trans_title=Love Live! Official Web Site {{!}} Member Introduction|publisher=[[Sunrise (company)|Sunrise]]|accessdate =August 22, 2014|language=Japanese}}</ref>
:Nozomi is the third-year student council vice-president, and the oldest of the group. She acts as the voice of reason to Eli, who was the first friend she made after spending her whole school life transferring from one place to another due to her parents work, choosing to live by herself in order to stay studying in Otonokizaka. She also acts as the spiritual leader of the group, and has an almost all-knowing vibe to her, acting when she knew things got too far and even naming the group based on events that were yet to happen. Although she is not from that region, Nozomi speaks in [[Kansai dialect]]. Her hobby is fortune-telling and she has the habit of groping the other girls when she finds them distracted or depressed in a form of "cheering them up".

;{{nihongo|Hanayo Koizumi|小泉花陽|Koizumi Hanayo}}
:{{voiced by|[[Yurika Kubo]]}}<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lovelive-anime.jp/member/member08.html|title=ラブライブ! Official Web Site {{!}} メンバー紹介|trans_title=Love Live! Official Web Site {{!}} Member Introduction|publisher=[[Sunrise (company)|Sunrise]]|accessdate =August 22, 2014|language=Japanese}}</ref>
:Hanayo is a first-year student interested in drawing and origami. She is referred to as Kayo, an alternate reading of the kanji in her name. Her closest friend is Rin, who is her childhood friend. Also, among the main cast, she is the best at handling children. Her catchphrase is, "Somebody, please help me!" or a variation depending on the media. She is also a shy girl who dreamed about being an idol since she was little. She later becomes the president of the Idol Research Club.

;{{nihongo|Nico Yazawa|矢澤にこ|Yazawa Niko}}
:{{voiced by|[[Sora Tokui]]}}<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.lovelive-anime.jp/member/member09.html|title=ラブライブ! Official Web Site {{!}} メンバー紹介|trans_title=Love Live!

:Nico is a third-year student interested in fashion, and thus acts as the group's wardrobe supervisor alongside Kotori. She grew up admiring idols and aspires to become one. However, much to her chagrin, Nico is childlike in appearance and behavior despite her age, looking much younger than the rest of the group. Within the group, she is a very good cook. Nico formed the Idol Research Club, but all of her club members left one after another because of her high standards. When Honoka and her friends ask her to have the club as μ's base of operations, she is reluctant at first, doubting how far they are willing to go to become successful idols, until she approves their effort and also joins the group. After she graduates, she passes on the role of club president to Hanayo. Nico's three younger siblings ({{voiced by|[[Sora Tokui]]}}) are {{nihongo|Cocoa Yazawa|矢澤ココア|Yazawa Kokoa|extra2=,}} {{nihongo|Kokoro Yazawa|矢澤ココロ|Yazawa Kokoro|extra2=, and}} {{nihongo|Kotarō Yazawa|矢澤虎太郎|Yazawa Kotarō}}.

*{{nihongo|Alisa Ayase|絢瀬亜里沙|Ayase Arisa}} is Eli's younger sister who is a big fan of μ's. Having mostly lived abroad due to her being part-Russian, she is unfamiliar with many Japanese customs. Like her sister, she tends to say the Russian word "хорошо". {{voiced by|[[Ayane Sakura]]}}

==Production==
Since the first issue of [[ASCII Media Works]]' ''[[Dengeki G's Magazine]]'' was published, the editors of the magazine have hosted reader participation games whose development is directly influenced by the people who read the magazine. The project was first announced in the July 2010 issue of ''Dengeki G's Magazine'', which revealed that the magazine would be collaborating with the anime studio [[Sunrise (company)|Sunrise]] and the music label [[Lantis (company)|Lantis]] to co-produce the project.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-05-29/dengeki-g-sunrise-love-live-project-revealed|title=''Dengeki G''{{'}}s, Sunrise's ''Love Live'' Project Revealed|publisher=[[Anime News Network]]|date=May 29, 2010|accessdate=September 24, 2012}}</ref> The project officially began with the August 2010 issue of ''Dengeki G's Magazine'', which introduced the story, characters, and a more detailed explanation of the project. The original plan for the story was written by [[Sakurako Kimino]], who also writes the short stories for ''Love Live!'' featured in ''Dengeki G's Magazine''. Original character design and illustrations are provided by Yūhei Murota.

Starting in August 2010, online mobile phone popularity contests have periodically been held to rank the characters, which influences the positions of the idols in the anime music videos produced by Sunrise. For example, the idol who ranks first in a given contest will be in the center position in the front row in the music video that follows. Other polls are used to determine different aspects of the idols, such as hairstyles and costumes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-06-28/sunrise-dengeki-g-love-live-project-gets-anime-dvd|title=Sunrise, ''Dengeki G''{{'}}s ''Love Live'' Project Gets Anime DVD|publisher=[[Anime News Network]]|date=June 28, 2010|accessdate=September 24, 2012}}</ref> Starting with the November 2010 issue of ''Dengeki G's Magazine'', readers were polled to determine the name of the idols' group. After the editors narrowed it down to the five most popular names, readers were polled for a final time, ultimately choosing the name μ's. A similar polling system was used to determine the names of the three mini units Printemps, BiBi, and Lily White.

==Reception==
[[Anime News Network]] had two editors review the first season in 2013: Carl Kimlinger reviewed the first six episodes of the series, finding fault in some of the characters lacking depth and the use of 3D animation in the dancing scenes, but praised director Takahiko Kyōgoku for his use of visuals and for giving a realistic approach to idol groups.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/love-live-school-idol-project/episodes-1|title=Love Live! Episodes 1-6 Streaming|last=Kimlinger|first=Carl|publisher=[[Anime News Network]]|date=March 4, 2013|accessdate=March 28, 2015}}</ref> Rebecca Silverman reviewed the latter half of the series, criticizing the 3D animation and the characters not breaking stereotypes but found it enjoyable because of its charm and offering viewers some characters they will like, concluding with, "When you're feeling down, give this a watch, because if nothing else, ''Love Live!'' has its heart in the right place and only seems to want us to smile."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/love-live-school-idol-project/13|title=Love Live!

:Honoka is the main character of the series, and is a second-year student at Otonokizaka Academy. Her family works in a ''[[wagashi]]'' shop named Homura. Honoka has a cheerful personality and she never gives up on anything, to the point of usually overexerting herself. Her hobbies include swimming and collecting stickers. She is the leader of μ's, and is seen taking center position in some of the group's songs. She later succeeds Eli as student council president.

:Eli is Otonokizaka Academy's third-year student council president who is determined to save the school. Although she opposes Honoka's plan at first, she ends up becoming the last girl to join μ's. She is part Russian because of her grandmother, and tends to say the Russian word "хорошо" ({{IPA-all|xərɐˈʂo}}; pronounced ''horosho'', "good"). Eli's specialty is quilting, and her experience with ballet qualifies her as the group's choreographer. She has two brothers, but a sister named Alisa ({{voiced by|[[Ayane Sakura]]}}) appears instead in the anime.

:Kotori is Honoka's classmate and childhood friend, who is the daughter of Otonokizaka Academy's chairwoman ({{voiced by|[[Noriko Hidaka]]}}), whom she closely resembles. She is known for having her head in the clouds despite holding responsibility as the group's wardrobe supervisor and choreographer. She also has a really kind heart, not wanting to hurt anybody. She becomes part of the student council.

;{{nihongo|Umi Sonoda|園田海未|Sonoda Umi}}

:Umi is Honoka's classmate and childhood friend who is a member of the school's ''[[kyūdō]]'' club, in which she is quite accurate. She believes Honoka is bossy and pushy, but realizes the perks of having an adventurous friend, usually acting as the voice of reason for her. As the daughter of a traditional family, Umi has expertise in ''[[kendō]]'', ''[[Koto (musical instrument)|koto]]'', ''[[nagauta]]'', calligraphy, and traditional dancing. She succeeds Nozomi as the student council vice president.

:Rin is an athletic first-year student skilled in hurdling, association football and basketball. Like Honoka, Rin has a cheerful personality but loses motivation easily and is a tomboy. She also has a habit of acting like a cat. She later becomes the leader of μ's.

;{{nihongo|Maki Nishikino|西木野真姫|Nishikino Maki}}

Official Web Site {{!}} Member Introduction|publisher=[[Sunrise (company)|Sunrise]]|accessdate =August 22, 2014|language=Japanese}}</ref>
:Maki is a first-year honor student expected to become a doctor and inherit her father's work in her parents' hospital despite being a talented singer and pianist, which leads her to refuse joining μ's at first. Maki is the main composer and vocal coach of the group. She later becomes the vice president of the Idol Research Club.

;{{nihongo|Nozomi Tojo|東條希|Tōjō Nozomi}}

:Nozomi is the third-year student council vice-president, and the oldest of the group. She acts as the voice of reason to Eli, who was the first friend she made after spending her whole school life transferring from one place to another due to her parents work, choosing to live by herself in order to stay studying in Otonokizaka. She also acts as the spiritual leader of the group, and has an almost all-knowing vibe to her, acting when she knew things got too far and even naming the group based on events that were yet to happen. Although she is not from that region, Nozomi speaks in [[Kansai dialect]]. Her hobby is fortune-telling and she has the habit of groping the other girls when she finds them distracted or depressed in a form of "cheering them up".

;{{nihongo|Hanayo Koizumi|小泉花陽|Koizumi Hanayo}}

:Hanayo is a first-year student interested in drawing and origami. She is referred to as Kayo, an alternate reading of the kanji in her name. Her closest friend is Rin, who is her childhood friend. Also, among the main cast, she is the best at handling children. Her catchphrase is, "Somebody, please help me!" or a variation depending on the media. She is also a shy girl who dreamed about being an idol since she was little. She later becomes the president of the Idol Research Club.

;{{nihongo|Nico Yazawa|矢澤にこ|Yazawa Niko}}

:Nico is a third-year student interested in fashion, and thus acts as the group's wardrobe supervisor alongside Kotori. She grew up admiring idols and aspires to become one. However, much to her chagrin, Nico is childlike in appearance and behavior despite her age, looking much younger than the rest of the group. Within the group, she is a very good cook. Nico formed the Idol Research Club, but all of her club members left one after another because of her high standards. When Honoka and her friends ask her to have the club as μ's base of operations, she is reluctant at first, doubting how far they are willing to go to become successful idols, until she approves their effort and also joins the group. After she graduates, she passes on the role of club president to Hanayo. Nico's three younger siblings ({{voiced by|[[Sora Tokui]]}}) are {{nihongo|Cocoa Yazawa|矢澤ココア|Yazawa Kokoa|extra2=,}} {{nihongo|Kokoro Yazawa|矢澤ココロ|Yazawa Kokoro|extra2=, and}} {{nihongo|Kotarō Yazawa|矢澤虎太郎|Yazawa Kotarō}}.

==Production==
Since the first issue of [[ASCII Media Works]]' ''[[Dengeki G's Magazine]]'' was published, the editors of the magazine have hosted reader participation games whose development is directly influenced by the people who read the magazine. The project was first announced in the July 2010 issue of ''Dengeki G's Magazine'', which revealed that the magazine would be collaborating with the anime studio [[Sunrise (company)|Sunrise]] and the music label [[Lantis (company)|Lantis]] to co-produce the project.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-05-29/dengeki-g-sunrise-love-live-project-revealed|title=''Dengeki G''{{'}}s, Sunrise's ''Love Live'' Project Revealed|publisher=[[Anime News Network]]|date=May 29, 2010|accessdate=September 24, 2012}}</ref> The project officially began with the August 2010 issue of ''Dengeki G's Magazine'', which introduced the story, characters, and a more detailed explanation of the project. The original plan for the story was written by [[Sakurako Kimino]], who also writes the short stories for ''Love Live!'' featured in ''Dengeki G's Magazine''. Original character design and illustrations are provided by Yūhei Murota.

Starting in August 2010, online mobile phone popularity contests have periodically been held to rank the characters, which influences the positions of the idols in the anime music videos produced by Sunrise. For example, the idol who ranks first in a given contest will be in the center position in the front row in the music video that follows. Other polls are used to determine different aspects of the idols, such as hairstyles and costumes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-06-28/sunrise-dengeki-g-love-live-project-gets-anime-dvd|title=Sunrise, ''Dengeki G''{{'}}s ''Love Live'' Project Gets Anime DVD|publisher=[[Anime News Network]]|date=June 28, 2010|accessdate=September 24, 2012}}</ref> Starting with the November 2010 issue of ''Dengeki G's Magazine'', readers were polled to determine the name of the idols' group. After the editors narrowed it down to the five most popular names, readers were polled for a final time, ultimately choosing the name μ's. A similar polling system was used to determine the names of the three mini units Printemps, BiBi, and Lily White.

Webservice

2007-06-14T05:31:43Z

137.111.13.37: /* Beispiele */

Ein '''Web Service''' bzw. '''Webdienst''' ist eine Software-Anwendung, die mit einem [[Uniform Resource Identifier]] (URI) eindeutig identifizierbar ist und deren [[Schnittstelle]]n als [[Extensible Markup Language|XML]]-Artefakte definiert, beschrieben und gefunden werden können. Ein Web Service unterstützt die direkte [[Interaktion]] mit anderen [[Software-Agent]]en unter Verwendung XML-basierter Nachrichten durch den Austausch über internetbasierte [[Protokoll]]e.

Ein Web Service ist '''nicht''':

* [[Middleware]] – es fehlt die Vermittlungskomponente und die Gewährleistung von [[Transaktionssicherheit]]
* [[Enterprise Application Integration]] – jedoch können Web Services bei Enterprise Application Integration Verwendung finden

== Architektur ==

[[Client]]-Programme senden im Allgemeinen Anfragen an einen Web Service und dieser antwortet mit der gewünschten Information. Es wird daher gelegentlich behauptet, dass Web Services für Rechner das sind, was [[Webseite]]n für den Menschen sind. Auch wenn das nur ein Teil der Möglichkeiten der Web Services beschreibt, ist dieser Vergleich durchaus treffend. Web Services sind nicht für menschliche Benutzer gedacht, sondern für [[Software]]systeme, die automatisiert Daten austauschen und/oder Funktionen auf entfernten Rechnern aufrufen.

[[Bild:Webservice.png|thumb|Funktionsweise]]

Web Services orientieren sich an der [[Serviceorientierte Architektur|Serviceorientierten Architektur]] (SOA) und vereinen daher verteilte und objektorientierte Programmierstandards und richten sich auf betriebswirtschaftliche Lösungen im Internet.

Es lassen sich die Instanzen Konsument, Anbieter und Verzeichnis identifizieren.

Der Anbieter veröffentlicht in einem Verzeichnis die Beschreibung seiner Dienste. Der Konsument durchsucht das Verzeichnis und wählt den gewünschten Dienst aus. Nachdem eventuell weitere Protokolldetails ausgetauscht werden, findet die dynamische Anbindung des Konsumenten an den Anbieter statt. Der Konsument greift nun auf Methoden zurück.

Die Grundlage hierbei bilden drei Standards, die jeweils auf [[Extensible Markup Language|XML]] basieren und in den zugehörigen Artikeln näher beschrieben werden:

* [[UDDI]] als Verzeichnisdienst zur Registrierung von Web Services. Es ermöglicht das dynamische Finden des Web Services (z. B. den Dienst ''FußballErgebnisse'') durch den Konsumenten.
* [[WSDL]] zur Beschreibung der unterstützten Methoden (z. B. ''TorschuetzenKoenig'') und deren Parametern (z. B. ''Datum'') für den Programmierer.
* [[SOAP]] (oder [[XML-RPC]]) zur Kommunikation. Hier wird der eigentliche Aufruf gestartet.

Web Services bilden die drei wichtigsten Teile der Zusammenarbeit zwischen Client und Server ab: Das Zusammenfinden, Binden und den Datenaustausch.

Erreichbar sind Web Services über einen eindeutigen [[Uniform Resource Identifier|URI]]. Die verwendeten plattformunabhängigen Standards sind in der Lage, entfernte Methodenaufrufe beliebiger [[Plattform]]en zu [[Dekodierung|dekodieren]] und einer Anwendung weiterzuleiten. Auf diese Weise entsteht eine verteilte Architektur. Die Kommunikation mit Web Services erfolgt über [[Nachricht]]en, die über mehrere Protokolle transportiert werden können.

== Beispiele ==

Es gibt zum Beispiel seit 2002 vom Betreiber der [[Suchmaschine]] [[Google]] einen Web Service, der durch seine Funktionalität die gleichen Möglichkeiten der Website anbietet, wie die Benutzerschnittstelle auf der Website selbst. Programme können nun mit einem Ansprechen der Schnittstelle direkt nach Informationen im [[Internet]] suchen, erhalten über die Schnittstelle die Ergebnisdaten und können diese für ihre eigenen Aufgaben verwenden. Das [[Parser|Parsen]] der Google-Webseite ist dazu keine auch nur annähernd gleichwertige Alternative. Allerdings stellt Google seit Dezember 2006 keine neuen API keys mehr dafür aus.

Ein weiteres Beispiel ist die Interaktion zwischen Fluggesellschaften und Reisebüros. Die Fluggesellschaften stellen Möglichkeiten zum Nachschlagen bzw. Buchen von Flügen über einen Web Service bereit. Die Reisebüros bieten auf ihrer Webpräsenz Flüge verschiedener Fluggesellschaften an, von denen die Reisebüros zur Laufzeit über [[UDDI]] erfahren. Der Kunde kann auf der Webpräsenz des Reisebüros nun zentral Preise und Termine verschiedener Flüge vergleichen und direkt buchen.

== Bewertung ==
=== Vorteile ===

*Die verwendeten offenen Standards vermeiden einige Lizenzkosten. Da zu diesen Standards auch die allgegenwärtigen internetbasierten Technologien gehören, lassen sie sich auch vielerorts einsetzen. Auch hier liegt ein Kostenvorteil.
*Durch das üblicherweise verwendete [[Hypertext Transfer Protocol|HTTP]] zur [[Datenübertragung]] treten nur selten Probleme mit [[Firewall]]s auf, im Gegensatz zu vergleichbaren Technologien wie [[CORBA]], [[DCOM]] oder auch [[Remote Method Invocation|Java RMI]]. Web Services sind jedoch nicht an HTTP gebunden und lassen sich auch mit anderen Protokollen wie [[Simple Mail Transfer Protocol|SMTP]] oder [[File Transfer Protocol|FTP]] übertragen und sind somit offen für verschiedene Anwendungsszenarien.
*Durch die Verwendung von bereits bestehenden und weit verbreiteten Internet-Standards (HTTP, [[Extensible Markup Language|XML]] etc.) entsteht eine offene und flexible Architektur, die unabhängig von den verwendeten Plattformen, Programmiersprachen und Protokollen ist. So können beispielsweise [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]]-[[C-Sharp|C#]]-Clients hinter einer [[Firewall]] mit [[Java (Programmiersprache)|Java]]-Servern, die auf [[Linux (Betriebssystem)|Linux]] implementiert sind, kommunizieren. Die weit verbreiteten Standard-Protokolle ermöglichen eine Interoperabilität über jegliche Heterogenitäten im [[Internet]] hinweg.
*Die Barrieren zum Einstieg sind vergleichsweise niedrig.

=== Nachteile ===

*Die Hauptschwierigkeiten bei der Umsetzung von Web Services dürften Sicherheitsaspekte betreffen. So ist beim Transport zu beachten, dass wichtige Web Services verschlüsselt werden oder eine Authentifizierung stattfinden kann. Ob hier [[Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure|HTTPS]] ausreichend ist oder Lösungen wie [[XML Signature]], [[XML-Encryption]] oder [[SAML]] zu bevorzugen sind, sollte abgewogen werden.
*Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf der [[Performance (Informatik)|Performance]]. Diese wird durch XML, Parsen und Dateigröße negativ beeinflusst. Der Verwaltungsaufwand nimmt bei stark verteilten Systemen zu. Der [[Overhead]] ist teilweise erheblich.
*Es ist mehr Know-How erforderlich als z. B. mit [[Remote Procedure Call]] (RPC). Programmiersprachen, mit denen man Web Services einbinden will, brauchen spezielle Bibliotheken (z. B. [[Document Object Model|DOM]]). Schnittstellen müssen genau definiert werden.

== Anwendungsgebiete ==

Web Services stellen neue Ansätze im Rahmen von [[Enterprise Application Integration]] (EAI) und [[Grid-Computing]] dar. Das geplante Haupteinsatzgebiet liegt im Business-to-Business-Bereich ([[B2B]]). Geschäftsprozesse sollen problemlos über Unternehmensgrenzen hinweg abgewickelt werden. Eine Sprache hierfür ist [[BPEL|Business Process Execution Language (BPEL)]], die es erlaubt zu [[Orchestrierung (Web-Service)|orchestrieren]].

== Anwendungsmöglichkeiten ==
Web Services sind eine Technologie, die unter verschiedenen Aspekten verwendet werden kann. Hier die drei verbreitetsten:
 
'''RPC - Entfernter Methoden-Aufruf'''
 
[[WSDL]] basierend, die lose Kopplung ist nicht unbedingt gewährleistet

'''SOA - Service-Orientierte Architektur'''
 
Eine Art Nachrichtendienst, [[WSDL]] als Kommunikationsinterface

'''REST - Zustandsrepräsentationsübertragung'''
 
Der Versuch, das Interface auf eine Menge “definierter” Standard-Operationen (an HTTP angelehnt: GET, PUT, DELETE) zu beschränken. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Interaktion von zustandsbehafteten Ressourcen.
Implementierung über WDSL -> SOAP HTTP oder direkt auf SOAP basierend.

== Erweiterungen ==

Mit dem [[Web Services Composite Application Framework]] (WS-CAF) wurde eine weiterführende Spezifikation beim [[W3C]] und bei [[Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards|OASIS]] zur Standardisierung eingereicht, die Web Services um für die Koordination von [[Anwendungsprogramm|Applikation]]en nützliche Standards, wie z. B. [[Transaktion]]smanagement, erweitern sollen. Über weitere, proprietäre Erweiterungen wird bei verschiedenen Herstellern nachgedacht.
Um Problemen der [[Computersicherheit|Sicherheit]] zu begegnen, werden Konzepte auf der Grundlage der Security Assertion Markup Language ([[SAML]]) entwickelt.

Des Weiteren befasst sich das Gebiet der [[Semantic Web Services]] mit der Erweiterung von Web Services um Semantik, die das Auffinden (Discovery), Auswählen (Selection), Ausführen (Invocation) und Komposition mit anderen Web Services nach der Idee des [[Semantic Web]] ermöglichen und vereinfachen soll.

Windows Presentation Foundation

2007-06-02T07:31:13Z

137.111.13.37: /* Weblinks */

Die '''Windows Presentation Foundation''' (WPF), auch bekannt unter dem früheren Codenamen ''Avalon'', ist eine neue Präsentations-[[Programmierschnittstelle]] (API) für [[Microsoft Windows]].

WPF wurde mit [[Release]] des [[.NET Framework 3.0]] für [[Windows XP]] und [[Windows Server 2003]] eingeführt und ist auch für [[Microsoft]] [[Windows Vista]] verfügbar.

[[Bild:Wpfapp.PNG|thumb|280px|WPF Application]]

WPF ist ein [[Framework]] zur Ausgabe von 2D-/3D-Grafiken, Video, Audio und Bildern. Im Gegensatz zu seinen Vorgängern [[Graphics Device Interface|GDI]] und [[Graphics Device Interface Plus|GDI+]] setzt WPF auf [[DirectX]] auf und bietet dadurch volle [[Hardwarebeschleunigung]].
Effekte, die bisher vor allem in Spielen vorkamen, können mit WPF einfach auf den [[Desktop (Computer)|Desktop]] gebracht werden. Dabei erkennt WPF automatisch die Leistungsfähigkeit des Systems und passt die Effektvielfalt der Anwendung an die gegebenen Ressourcen an. Schatten-, [[Blureffekt|Blur]]-, [[Gloweffekt|Glow]]- und Transparenzeffekte werden, wenn möglich, direkt von der Grafikkarte gerendert.

WPF setzt auf dem [[Dot Net|.NET Framework 3.0]] auf und ist für die [[CLR]]-Sprachen [[C-Sharp|C#]] und [[VisualBasic|VB.NET]] verfügbar. Mit der Einführung von [[Windows Vista]] und WPF soll das alte [[Win32-API]] nach und nach abgelöst werden. Mit WPF wurde die [[Markup]]-Sprache [[XAML]] für den Entwurf von Benutzeroberflächen eingeführt. Das zum Teil von [[XML User Interface Language|XUL]] inspirierte XAML basiert auf dem [[XML|XML-Standard]] und ermöglicht es, [[Grafische Benutzeroberfläche|Oberflächenelemente]] hierarchisch anzuordnen. Dadurch wird eine strikte Trennung von Anwendungslogik und Oberflächendarstellung erreicht.

Um den XAML-Code nicht von Hand schreiben zu müssen, hat Microsoft eine neue Serie von Design-Programmen namens [[Microsoft Expression]] in Entwicklung, um das Entwerfen von reichhaltigen Anwendungen leicht zu machen.

Mit der Einführung wird Microsoft primär WPF für die Entwicklung von Anwendungen verwenden.

Unter dem Namen '''[[Silverlight]]''' (ehemaliger Codename "WPF/E") hat Microsoft eine ebenfalls XAML-basierte, aber in der Funktion ganz anders ausgerichtete, Web-Präsentationstechnik veröffentlicht.

== WPF-Anwendungen ==


[[Microsoft Office 2007]] ist noch keine WPF-Anwendung, wie irrtümlicherweise oft angenommen wird.

Die aktuelle Version des [[Yahoo! Messenger]]s basiert vollständig auf der Windows Presentation Foundation.

Die [[Otto-Versand|OTTO Group]] ließ ihren [http://www.otto.de/vista/ Online-Shop] auf WPF-Basis entwickeln.

== Ähnliche Ansätze in anderen Betriebssystemen ==

* [[Mac OS X]]: Die Betriebssystemoberfläche Aqua auf Mac OS X benutzt mit [[Quartz]] bereits derartige Hardwarebeschleunigung.
* [[Unix]]: Auf Unix-Systemen und Unix-artigen wie [[Linux]] verhilft die [[XRender]]-Erweiterung zu einer derartigen [[Grafikkarte|Grafikbeschleunigung]], wenn der [[X-Server]] und der Grafiktreiber entsprechend zusammenarbeiten und das unterstützen. Weniger stark hardwareabhängige Lösungen sind hier [[Xgl]] und [[Aiglx]].
