**** CALL FOR PAPERS ****
3rd International Workshop on Web Service Composition and Adaptation
(WSCA-2009)
Website: http://lsdis.cs.uga.edu/WSCA2009
July 6th, 2009, Los Angeles, California, USA
Affiliated with the IEEE International Conference on Web Services, 2009
Recent advances in networks, information and computation grids, and
Web
languages and protocols have enabled development of, and led to
the
proliferation of, distributed and autonomously developed Web services.
These
include WSDL/SOAP based services well suited for enterprise applications as
well
as lighter-weight WebAPIs and RESTful services widely used in Web
applications.
Correspondingly, the construction and deployment of mashups and
composite
services that combine and reuse independently developed component
services is
an important capability in the emerging Web-based computing
infrastructure.
Given that business and application needs continually change, and
component
services may also independently change, a number of challenges in
provide
dynamic, flexible and adaptable approaches to such integration and
composition
of services remains an important challenge.
Against this background, this workshop, to be held in conjunction with 2009
IEEE
International Conference on Web Services, invites manuscripts addressing
various
aspects related to (a) discovery or selection of component services that
will
be integrated, (b) use of semantics to ease data mediation and
integration of
component services, (c) developing approaches to handling service
failures,
changes in service functionalities, and changes to quality of
service
parameters, and (d) understanding external events, which are the
sources of
volatility in service compositions. Insightful examples of and
approaches to
service composition and adaptation in a variety of applications
such as
scientific and engineering workflows, mobile computing, sensor
networks,
consumer and social networking, are welcomed as well. Additionally, we
invite
discussions of toolkits that support composition and adaptation objectives.
*Specific topics of interest include*
- Dynamic service discovery and selection
- Semantic annotation and mediation of services
- Ontology-based approaches to service composition and mashups
- Domain specific languages for mashups
- Formal methods in service composition
- Verification of service compositions
- Reuse in service composition: service compatibility and substitution
- Adaptation and Evolution of services, including modeling of events that
impact
service compositions and mashups, and techniques to respond to these
events
- Case studies, and applications (e.g., in e-science, e-Business,
e-Government,
mobile computing, social computing, sensor networks)
*Submission guidelines*
Authors are asked to submit original, unpublished research papers that are
not being considered
for publication in any other forum. Papers must be limited to 8 pages and
following the formatting
