Service Discovery on the WWW Workshop (sdisco'06)
http://events.deri.at/sdisco2006/

at The 1st Asian Semantic Web Conference (ASWC'06)
http://www.aswc2006.org/

September 4, 2006, Beijing, China

THEME:

Services in open and dynamic environments have recently received significant
interest.
They can be used to support Business-to-Business (B2B), Enterprise
Application Integration (EAI),
and collaborations within or between Virtual Organizations. Successful
example of such dynamic
environments includes the WWW - a dynamic environment with a huge
heterogeneous collection
of services.

There are many different types of architectures that have been developed
around
the concept of a “service" - parties providing dynamic functionality to
other parties.
As the number of services increases so does the need for automatization in
service discovery
- discovery of new functionalities and behaviors.

This workshop aims to tackle the research problems around methods, concepts,
models,
languages and technology that enables discovery of services in the context
of the WWW.
Of particular interest are the methodologies that enable automatic or
semi-automatic
discovery of services, semantic web service, web services, and e-services.

This workshop aims to bring together researchers and industry attendees
addressing
many of these issues, and promote and foster a greater understanding of how
the
discovery of services can assist business to business and enterprise
application integration.
