The International Journal of Web Services Research (JWSR) is a high-quality
refereed journal on Web services research and engineering that serves as an
outlet for individuals in the field to publish their research as well as
interested readers. As a research and engineering journal, the International
Journal of Web Services Research, will facilitate communication and
networking among Web services/e-Business researchers and engineers in a
period where considerable changes are taking place in Web services
technologies innovation, and stimulate production of high-quality Web
services solutions and architectures.

Web services are network-based application components with services-oriented
