[We apologize for multiple copies] !!! E X T E N D E D D E A D L I N E : August 13th 2007!!! ========================= CALL FOR PAPERS ========================= First International Joint Workshop SMR2 2007 on Service Matchmaking and Resource Retrieval in the Semantic Web http://www-ags.dfki.uni-sb.de/~klusch/smr2/ Co-located with the 6th International Semantic Web Conference ISWC 2007 November 11, 2007 Busan, South Korea + Aims & Scope: One challenge of service coordination in the semantic Web is concerned with how to best connect the ultimate service requester with the ultimate service provider? Like intermediaries in the physical economy, a special kind of software agents, so called middle-agents, is supposed to solve this problem based on the declarative characterization of the capabilities of both service requester and provider agents. In fact, the standard Web service interaction life cycle corresponds to the classical service matchmaking process. More generally, resource retrieval extends the notion of service matchmaking to the process of discovering any kind of resource (services, data, information, knowledge) for given settings, participating entities, and purposes. It is at the core of several scenarios in the Semantic Web area, spanning from web-services, grid computing, and Peer-to-Peer computing, to applications such as e-commerce, human resource management, or social networks applications such as mating and dating services. The SMR2 workshop provides a forum for promoting, presenting, and discussing the latest scientific advances on semantic Web service and resource retrieval; and Establishing and fostering cross-disciplinary relations between relevant parties in research and/or business for the purpose of joint work on solutions to relevant problems in the domain. For this workshop the organizing committees of both previous high quality workshops SMR (Semantic Matchmaking and Resource Retrieval) and SDISCO (Service Discovery on the WWW) are joining forces together with the S3 contest initiative. + Topics of interest: - Advanced searching of services and other resources in the semantic Web - Approaches to matchmaking and brokering in the semantic Web, with particular emphasis on semantic web services - Semantic retrieval of resources and services in P2P and Grid networks - Matchmaking in e-commerce scenarios: auctions, e-marketplaces, supply chain - Composition planning of semantic Web services - Negotiation of semantic Web services and resources - Interleaving of discovery, composition, and negotiation of semantic Web services - Formal description and handling of semantic Web services, queries, and resources - Non-functional service properties and their use for discovery (and composition) - Trust issues of semantic Web service discovery - Prototypes and tools for semantic Web services engineering - Practical and user-oriented issues and experiences of implementing semantic Web service retrieval - Experimental comparative evaluation of implemented SW service retrieval tools + Going to Practice: The First Semantic Service Selection (S3) Contest This year, the SMR2 workshop also integrates the first edition of the open international contest on semantic service selection (S3). More information on the contest are available at http://www.dfki.de/~klusch/s3/ + Important Dates: Submission deadline: *NEW* August 13, 2007 Authors notification: *NEW* September 7, 2007 Camera-ready due: *NEW* September 21, 2007 + Joint Organisation Committee: Abraham Bernstein (U Zurich, Switzerland) Tommaso Di Noia (TU Bari, Italy) Takahiro Kawamura (Toshiba Research, Japan) Matthias Klusch (DFKI, Germany) Ruben Lara (AFI, Spain) Alain Leger (France Telecom Research, France) David Martin (SRI International, USA) Massimo Paolucci (NTT DoCoMo Research Europe, Germany) Axel Polleres (DERI Galway, Ireland) Ioan Toma (DERI Innsbruck, Austria) -- Dr. Axel Polleres email: axel@polleres.net url: http://www.polleres.net/
