We show that the two approaches differ in the number of architectural decisions that must be made and in the number of available alternatives. This discrepancy between freedom-from-choice and freedom-of-choice explains the complexity difference perceived. However, we also show that there are significant differences in the consequences of certain decisions in terms of resulting development and maintenance costs. The comparison helps technical decision makers to assess the two technologies more objectively and select the one that best fits their needs: REST is well suited for basic, ad hoc integration scenarios, WS-* is more flexible and addresses advanced quality of service requirements commonly occurring in enterprise computing. 2009-04 18th International World Wide Web Conference Madrid, Spain April 20th-24th, 2009 conference TRUE http://dret.net/netdret/docs/soa-rest-www2009/ 240 1 253 1 application/pdf en public
