Abstract
Web services aiming at spontaneously integrating services from different providers in ensuring at offering a user the best possible experience, face considerable challenges in materialising that notion of improved experience. The interrelationships between the concepts of security, performance and interoperability, while critical to any web service, pose the biggest test and constitute the key features of the proposed evaluation framework. The key objective of this framework is to establish a means of evaluating how close a web service can get to achieving best practice without one of the three key features overriding the others.
