Wednesday, 14 April 2004, Melbourne, Australia 

(in conjunction with the 
Australian Software Engineering Conference (ASWEC 2004)) 


Service-oriented computing is emerging as an important 
paradigm in the 21st century. There has been increasing research 
and industry focus on service-oriented systems, driven by the 
enormous potential benefits of the service-oriented philosophy.
While traditional software engineering has a commendable history, 
thinking about software as offering services provides an
interesting perspective with new software engineering challenges. 
This workshop seeks to provide an international forum for 
discussion and disseminating of research in the area. 

Topics include, but are not limited to: 
o building services from applications 
o constructing context-aware services 
o agent-based services 
o intelligent service-oriented systems 
o formal methods for service-oriented systems 
o Semantic Web systems 
o ontological, service description languages and 
  knowledge engineering for service-oriented systems 
o web service/e-service tools, platforms, and infrastructures 
o grid-based services 
o service architectures for discovery, ranking, negotiation and 
  selection 
o service management, scheduling and monitoring 
o service composition 
o methodologies, tools, languages, programming models, 
  and techniques for service-oriented systems 
o practical benefits of the philosophy of 
  service-oriented systems 
o cost models, pricing models and metrics for 
  service-oriented systems and their implementation 
o service-oriented systems in mobile, distributed, 
  and pervasive computing 
o performance engineering for service-oriented systems 
o quality-aware service-oriented systems 
o Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and contractual issues

Hardcopy submission is discouraged.  

We encourage two types of submissions: 

   1.regular submissions - not more than 
     8 pages in IEEE format, and 

   2.position papers - not more than 
     3 pages in IEEE format. 

Details of the IEEE format are available at
http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm 

Submitted papers will be rigorously reviewed by 
the program committee, based on relevance, originality, 
technical soundness, and clarity. Accepted position papers 
and regular papers will be presented during the workshop. 
  

Important Dates 
===============

Workshop paper submission: 14 February 2004 

Notification of acceptance: 9 March 2004 

Final versions due: 23 March 2004 

Workshop: 14 April 2004 
  

Paper Publication 
=================

Papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. 

Selected papers will be considered for a special issue 
of a journal or chapters of a book - we are currently 
investigating avenues for publication.
  

Registration 
============ 
We expect that at least one author of each 
accepted paper will register for the workshop.
