Airline Reservation

An "airline reservation" is a legal contract whereby an airline undertakes, in exchange for a certain amount of money, to provide a seat to a specific passenger by plane on a specific flight from one specified airport to another. The plane is scheduled (but not guaranteed) to leave at a certain time and touch down at the destination at a certain time. Whether the airline reservation may later be changed varies from ticket to ticket (typically, low cost carriers are less flexible in this regard). Airlines Reservation Web Services aim to provide
reusable services based on service-oriented architecture
principles and approaches. The service is realized through
web services implementation, published into service registry,
discovered and then to be composited into a complete
web-based airline reservation services. We aim to increase
the system flexibility and interoperability in the airline
industry context.
