CALL FOR PAPERS

The International Workshop on Intelligent Services and Process
Management (ISPM’08)
http://www.swin.edu.au/hosting/ispm/ 

to be held at

The 6th International Conference on Service Oriented Computing (
ICSOC'08) 
Sydney, Australia, December 1-5, 2008
http://cgi.cse.unsw.edu.au/~soc/icsoc08/ 

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
The purpose of the workshop is to present and discuss the recent
significant developments at the  intersections of service oriented
computing and intelligent systems and technologies, and to promote 
cross-fertilization of ideas and techniques between these fields. In
particular, the workshop aims  at identifying techniques from
multi-agent systems, artificial intelligence and semantic technology 
research that will have the greatest impact on automating
service-oriented application construction  and management, focusing on
critical challenges such as service quality assurance, reliability, and 
adaptability.

TOPICS
We invite papers that address significant developments at the
intersections of service oriented  computing and intelligent systems and
technologies. Specific topics of interest include but are not  limited
to: 
- Intelligent management frameworks and platforms for
service-oriented computing 
- Agent-enabled adaptation, evolution, and optimization of
services and processes
- Semantic service description, advertisement, matchmaking,
discovery, and brokering 
- Agent-based service composition, orchestration, and choreography

- Intelligent monitoring, control and exception-handling for
service execution and delivery
- Agent-based negotiation and management of Quality of Service and
Service Level Agreements
- Intelligent techniques and frameworks for dynamic service
processes and workflows 
- Integration and management of agent-based services and
service-oriented agents
- Self-managed service compositions and processes that exhibit
intelligent adaptive and  autonomic properties  
- Agent and semantic web-enabled service business models and
applications, and lessons learned
