****************************************************************************
THE EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON WEB SERVICES (ECOWS'04)
formerly: International Conference on Web Services Europe (ICWS-Europe)
http://www.ecows.org/
Call for Papers
Erfurt, Germany, September 27-30, 2004
The ECOWS'04 conference will be held in conjunction with the 5th
International Conference Net.ObjectDays 2004 (NODE'04) and the
International Conference on Grid Services Engineering and Management
(GSEM'04) in Erfurt, Germany, September 27-30, 2004.
The 2004 European Conference on Web Services (ECOWS'04) is the a
international conference focusing on Web Services. ECOWS'04 is a forum
for researchers and industry practitioner to exchange information
regarding advancements in the state of art and practice of Web Services,
as well as to identify emerging research topics and define the future
directions of Web Services computing. ECOWS'04 has special interest in
papers that contribute to the convergence of Web Services, Grid
Computing, e-Business and Autonomic Computing, or those that apply
techniques from one area to another. The conference is a sister event of
the International Conference on Web Services 2004 held in San Diego and
the sucessor of the International Conference on Web Services Europe 2003.
Web Services are network-based application components with
services-oriented architecture using standard interface description
languages and uniform communication protocols. Typical industry solution
areas of Web Services are business-to-business integration, business
process integration and management, content management, e-sourcing,
composite Web Services creation, design collaboration for computer
engineering, multimedia communication, digital TV, and interactive Web
Solutions. Currently, Grid computing has also started to leverage Web
Services to define standard interfaces for Business Grid services and
generic reusable Grid resources.
As the first academic conference in the field of Web Services, the 2003
First International Conference on Web Services (ICWS'03) and the
International Conference on Web Services Europe 2003 have proved to be
an excellent catalyst for research and collaboration, and we fully
expect that this ICWS 2004 conference will continue this trend.
The program of ICWS-Europe'04 will continue to feature a variety of
papers, focusing on topics ranging from Web Services and Dynamic
Business Process Composition, Web Services and Process Management, Web
Services Discovery, Web Services Security, Web Services Based
Applications for e-Commerce, Web Services based Grid Computing, Web
Services Standards and Technologies, Web Services Solutions, Web
Services Industrial, and other emerging technologies or solutions.
