2nd INT. WORKSHOP ON ENGINEERING SERVICE ORIENTED APPLICATIONS:
DESIGN AND COMPOSITION (WESOA'06)
In conjunction with the 4th Int. Conference on Service Oriented
Computing (ICSOC 2006) http://www.icsoc.org/
Chicago, USA, December 4th, 2006
WESOA Workshop Website
http://fresco-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/wesoa06/
Paper Submission Due: September 25th, 2006
OBJECTIVES
==========
With the growing acceptance of service-oriented computing and
increasing number of large-scale Web Services projects there is an
urgent need for the research community and industry practitioners to
combine in an effort to develop comprehensive methodologies that
support the entire life-cycle of service oriented applications. To
ensure that the resulting services are stable, reusable and
extendable such methodologies must be based on sound engineering
principles and guide the developers through the analysis, design,
implementation and deployment phases of services life-cycle.
A key challenge that needs to be addressed involves the unification
of service design and composition methods. Service -oriented design
needs to determine what constitutes a service component and decide
about the appropriate level of service granularity. It is equally
important to correctly define the assembly of complex composite
services over multiple levels of abstraction, and to use these
aggregated services to construct application systems. The current
lack of agreement about basic principles that should guide service
design and composition makes it difficult for comprehensive service
life-cycle methodologies to emerge.
Both service design and service composition are active research
areas at present. However, the two problem areas overlap and can
benefit from interchange of ideas and unification of approaches. To
reflect on dependencies and synergies between service design and
service composition the WESOA'06 workshop combines two successful
previous ICSOC 2005 workshops: those on "Design of Service
-Oriented Applications" (WDSOA'05) and on "Engineering
Service Compositions" (WESC'05), focusing on unified design and
composition methods for reusable service components.
WESOA'06 encourages a multidisciplinary perspective and we invite
papers that address the challenges of service design and composition
in the context of domains such as travel, financial services,
government, education, and virtual organizations. A key objective of
the WESOA'06 workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners and provide a platform for exchange of ideas about
issues concerning service life-cycle with specific focus on design
and composition of services.
TOPICS
======
WESOA'06 welcomes research submissions on all topics related to
design and composition aspects of engineering service-oriented
applications, including but not limited to those listed below:
* Engineering methods supporting service-oriented development life -
cycle
* Service assembly, composition and aggregation models and languages
* Engineering methods for design of reusable and composable services
* Design by visual and textual specification of service structures
* Adapting existing software engineering methods, e.g. MDA, AOP,
Test-Driven development for service-oriented applications
* SOA architectural styles and standards
* Contract and policy design for service components and compositions
* Choreography and orchestration design
* Quality assurance and evaluation methods for complex service-
oriented applications
* Tools support for service-oriented design and composition
* Web Service design and development case studies and best practice
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
=======================
Authors are invited to submit original, previously unpublished
research papers. Papers should be written in English and must not
exceed 12 pages, strictly following Springer LNCS style
(http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html) including all text,
references, appendices, and figures. Please, submit papers to
http://www.conftool.net/wesoa06/. PDF format is preferred, but
portable Postscript format is also acceptable.
All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the members of
the international program-committee. Paper acceptance will based on
originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of
presentation. Accepted papers will be included in the workshop
proceedings, and the proceedings will be made available prior to the
workshop on the workshop website. Final versions of the accepted
papers will be published by Springer LNCS.
At least one author of an accepted paper must register and
participate in the workshop. Registration is subject to the terms,
