First European Young Researchers Workshop on Service Oriented Computing
(YR-SOC, 2005)
April 21 - 22,
De Montfort University, Leicester, UK

http://www.cse.dmu.ac.uk/YRSOC

********************************************************************

The 2005 European Young Researchers Workshop on Service Oriented
Computing (SOC) is a first attempt to bring together PhD students, young
researchers working in the industry and those who completed their
doctoral studies within the past few years. Attendance at the workshop
is open to all. The aim of the workshop is to build a reputable and
respectable forum for young researchers with inputs from industry
practitioners. The core objectives are to exchange information regarding
advancements in the state of the art and practice of SOC, as well as to
identify the emerging research topics and define the future trends in
this domain. It is also planned to have 4 invited speakers to share
their expert opinions on various aspects of SOC.   

*******************************************************************

The workshop will be held at De Montfort University, Leicester.

Leicester is centrally located, the largest city in the East Midlands
and the tenth largest in the country. Leicester's history goes back to
the Iron Age. Its importance was first recognised by the Romans and
later by the Danes, who used it as a strategic stronghold to control the
Midlands. Since then it has developed into a major commercial and
manufacturing centre, known better for the diversity of its trade than
for its dependence on a single industry.    

DMU is a dynamic organisation, formed from a diverse range of specialist
institutions. Its long history of excellent teaching, learning and
research is founded in the technical and trade education of the late
19th Century. Accommodation may be available in newly built halls of
residence and also in a small selection of good quality hotels. A full
social programme drawing on the culture of the area will complement the
scientific event.

***********************************************************************
