The story so far...

This is sort of building the infrastructure for the actual implementation of the project (I would say it is 80% of the hard-work!):
1)Getting IIS to host ASP.Net web services
2)Creating a web service from .Net, describe and publish it on test UDDI registry provided by Microsoft.
3)Using WSDL and UDDI SDK, I'm able to find a method exposed by all services on the UDDI registry - ie. get details of all published web services which have exposed a function/method along with their accesspoints and binding keys. I can do this at run-time or at design-time by adding a web reference.
4)In short, my application can search for a service (from UDDI registry) which does a specific task - dynamically and invoke it. All we need to know is some understanding between the service providers and my application - on the interface of the exposed method.

Things to cover in this week (by 23rd - I really hope so!) - basically this is moving on to actual implementation of the project items:
1)Build the web services
2)Implement GUI - for a customer and for a Technical Support Engineer
3)Expose a web service hosted on a Linux box - this may take some time (considering I need to - get Apache web server to host web service and re-write the web service in Java).

Coming up...
1)24th to 30th Oct 05 - Prepare and validate the Final Project Report from Mentor/Examiner (mind you this is not a project demo).
2)31st Oct 05 - Courier the hard-copy of latest Final Project Report to BITS
3)Between 7th Nov to 11th Nov 05 - Demo of Project to Mentor/Examiner
4)Someday in Nov/Dec 05 - Viva at BITS Campus at a date BITS announces.

Somebody had called BITS office today and they told her BITS would announce the Viva dates by the end of this week (23rd Oct 05). That's the flash news!

On a finishing note, I even dreamt of invoking a web service for a handful of hours I slept yesterday!
