document: Second international workshop on RESTful design ( WS-REST 2011 ) Over the past few years , the discussion between the two major architectural styles for designing and implementing Web services , the RPC-oriented approach and the resource-oriented approach , has been mainly held outside of traditional research communities . Mailing lists , forums and developer communities have seen long and fascinating debates around the assumptions , strengths , and weaknesses of these two approaches . The Second International Workshop on RESTful Design ( WS-REST 2011 ) has the goal of getting more researchers involved in the debate by providing a forum where discussions around the resource-oriented style of Web services design take place . Representational State Transfer ( REST ) is an architectural style and as such can be applied in different ways , can be extended by additional constraints , or can be specialized with more specific interaction patterns . WS-REST is the premier forum for discussing research ideas , novel applications and results centered around REST at the World Wide Web conference , which provides a great setting to host this second edition of the workshop dedicated to research on the architectural style underlying the Web .
