Call for Papers
INT. CONF. ON GRID SERVICES ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT (GSEM'04)
Erfurt, Germany, September 27-30, 2004
http://www.gsem.org
The GSEM'04 conference will be held in conjunction with the 5th
International Conference Net.ObjectDays 2004 (NODE'04) and the European
Conference on Web Services 2004 (ECOWS'04) in Erfurt, Germany,
September 27-30, 2004.
Aims and Scope
The Grid has emerged as a global platform to support on-demand virtual
organizations for coordinated sharing of distributed data, applications
and processes. Service orientation of the Grid also makes it a
promising platform for seamless and dynamic development, integration
and deployment of service-oriented applications. The application
components can be discovered, composed and delivered within a Grid of
services, which are loosely coupled to create dynamic business
processes and agile applications spanning organizations and computing
platforms. The technologies contributing to such Grids of services
include Web Services, Semantic Web, Grid Computing, Component Software
and Agent Technology.
The GSEM'04 conference is an international forum for the presentation of
the latest theoretical and practical results in technology solutions
for engineering and management of Grid services and service-oriented
applications.
The conference aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners
from diverse fields and interests, including Web Services, Semantic
Web, Grid infrastructures, software components, workflow, intelligent
agents and negotiation technologies, service management, and those
looking for new business and research cooperation opportunities in the
area of Grid services and service-oriented applications.
Suggested Topics
We invite research papers, work-in-progress reports and industrial
experiences describing advances in all areas of grid service engineering
and management, including, but not limited to:
* Convergence of Web Services, Semantic Web, Agent Technology and
the Grid
* Confluence of Service-oriented Architectures based on Web
Services with Grid Computing
* Usage of Web Services and Agents in a Grid infrastructure
* Crosscutting concerns in Grid services (e.g. AOSD)
* Modeling, description and discovery of Grid services
* Deployment, packaging, and distribution of Grid services
* Semantic technologies and their deployment in service Grids
* Business semantics, meta data, and ontologies in service Grids
* Grid service architectures, infrastructures and deployment
environments
* Software engineering for Grid service creation, development, and
generation (including languages, modeling, OMG's MDA, generative
programming techniques, Domain-Specific Languages, feature-based
configuration, etc.)
* Service provisioning, correctness, and aspects of Quality of
Service for Grid services
* Workflow planning and composition for Grid services (including
languages, algorithms, resources, etc.)
* Service composition models and languages
* Grid service compatibility and interoperability
* Matchmaking and negotiated service composition
* Service level agreement negotiation and contracting
* Dynamic coordination of grid services and applications
* Adaptive management, monitoring and control of Grid services and
applications
* Formation and management of virtual organizations
* Service communication languages and protocols
* Grid service policy and meta-policy management
* Agents-based grid service infrastructures
* Intelligent services and Grid service agents
* Agents-based service brokering and composition planning
* Agent-based monitoring and control of Grid services
* Security, performance and reliability engineering in service Grids
* Testing and benchmarking of grid services and infrastructures
* Functional and non-functional aspects of Grid services
* Social aspects of Grid service integration and interactions
* Grid service business models and applications (e.g. in
e-Business, e-Science, Enterprise, Telecom etc.)
* Integration and interoperability of grid services and legacy systems
* Standardization aspects
Submission Guidelines
Full papers must not exceed 15 pages (see http://www.netobjectdays.org
Menu For Authors). All papers should be in Adobe portable document
format (PDF) or PostScript format. The paper should have a cover page,
which includes a 200-word abstract, a list of keywords, and author's
e-mail address. Authors should submit a full paper via electronic
submission to rkowalczyk@it.swin.edu.au. All papers accepted for
GSEM'04 are peerreviewed and will be published in a special proceedings
by Springer Verlag, Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). A
selection of high quality papers will be invited to submit extended and
enhanced versions of their papers to the upcoming special issue of a
major international journal.
Important Dates
Extended Submission Deadline: May 7, 2004.
Notification: June 11, 2004.
