Background and Goals "A Web service is a
software application identified by a URI, whose interfaces and bindings are
capable of being defined, described, and discovered as XML artifacts. A Web
service supports direct interactions with other software agents using XML
based messages exchanged via internet-based protocols" [W3C]. Technologies such as eXtensible Markup Language (XML),
Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), Web Services Description Language
(WSDL) and Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) support
Web Services. XML is utilized to normalize the exchange of business data
among trading partners by providing an excellent means for encoding and
formatting. SOAP defines a
simple way to package information and send it across system boundaries. WSDL
is an XML language for describing Web Services, enabling one to separate the
description of the abstract functionality offered by a service from concrete
details of a service description. UDDI enables businesses to quickly, easily,
and dynamically find and transact with one another. Major industries such as
IBM, Microsoft, BEA, Sun, Oracle etc use these standards. Development of
real-life applications relies heavily on the system model and architectures
through which this set of technologies are efficiently implemented. The goal
of this workshop is to bring together researchers, engineers and
practitioners interested in Web Services to discuss how to develop real-life
applications on the Web. This
workshop covers the areas of modeling, architectures and infrastructures for
Web Services. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to - Web Services Modeling - The Model Driven Architecture (MDA) and Web Services - Web Services and Semantic Description - Ontologies for Web Services - Web Services Architecture - Frameworks for Building Web Service Applications - Composite Web Service Creation and Enabling Infrastructures - Web Service Discovery - Solution and Resource Management for Web Services - Dynamic Invocation Mechanisms for Web Services - Quality of Service for Web Services - SOAP and UDDI Enhancements - Case Studies for Web Services - E-Commerce Applications Using Web Services - Workflow and Web Services - Transaction and Web Services - Web Services Interoperability Format of the Workshop The workshop will consist of oral presentations. The proceedings of
the workshop will be published in the form of a book by ICEIS. Submission of Papers Perspective authors are invited to submit papers in any of the areas
listed above. All papers must be written in English, and the length of the
paper should not exceed 4000 words or 8 pages. Instructions for preparing the
manuscript (in Word or Latex) are available at the ICEIS web site. Postscript/RTF versions
of the manuscript should be submitted thru ICEIS web-based paper
submission procedure.
