***************************************************************** The First International Workshop on Agents, Web Services and Ontologies Merging (AWeSOMe'05) http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf/awesome2005cfp.html In conjunction with OnTheMove Federated Conferences (OTM'05) http://www.cs.rmit.edu.au/fedconf Proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag ***************************************************************** Ayia Napa, Cyprus, 31 Oct - 4 Nov 2005 ***************************************************************** Web services are a rapidly expanding approach to building distributed software systems across networks such as the Internet. A Web service is an operation typically addressed via a URI, declaratively described using widely accepted standards, and accessed via platform-independent XML-based messages. Emerging ontologies are being used to construct semantically rich service descriptions. Techniques for planning, composing, editing, reasoning and analysing about these descriptions are being investigated and deployed to resolve semantic interoperability between services within scalable, open environments. Agents and multi-agent systems can benefit from this combination, and can be used for web service discovery, use and composition. In addition, web services and multi-agent systems bear certain similarities, such as a component-like behaviour, that can help to make their development much easier. This workshop is intended for researchers working in this topic who want to interact and exchange ideas with other participants. Possible topics include, but are not limited to: * Agent-based modelling and design techniques to address problems in web service system development; * Architectures and infrastructure for distributed agent- or service- based frameworks; * Architectures for supporting agents and web services within the semantic web; * Infrastructure and architectures for M-services; * Intelligent matchmaking and service brokering; * Interoperability of web services; * Multi-agent techniques to describing, organizing, and discovering web services; * Ontology or semantic-based approaches to describing and classifying services and capabilities; * Pricing and payment models for Web services; * Process modeling for service/agent composition, orchestration and coordination; * Scaleable service composition for heterogeneous environments; * Security support for agents and services, and agent-based approaches to service security; * Semantics for service delegation and knowledge aggregation; * Semantics in Agent Communication Languages; * Services and the semantic web, including initiatives such as OWL-S (formerly DAML-S); * Use of agent-based approaches for web service personalization; * Use of context and conversations for Web services composition; * Use of web service infrastructure and tools for building multi-agent systems. * Web service agreements, legal contracts, and social commitments between trading partners; SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS All submitted papers will be carefully evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of expression.
