First Call for Papers Second International Web Services Quality Workshop (WQW 2004) Workshop URL: http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/wqw04 To be held in conjunction with the Fifth International Conference on Web Information Systems Engineering (WISE 2004) 22-24 November 2004, Brisbane, Australia. Aims and Scope --------------- Web services have emerged as a key technology for rendering services over the WWW. They are interoperable across platforms and neutral to languages, which makes them suitable for access from heterogeneous environments. As a consequence of the rapid growth of web service applications and the abundance of service providers, the consumer is faced with the inevitability of selecting the "right" service provider. In such scenarios, the quality of service (QoS) becomes a benchmark to differentiate services and providers. Quality of service forms the underpinning for a broad spectrum of web service activities such as selection, scheduling, pricing and specifying service level agreements. This workshop seeks to provide an international forum for discussion and disseminating of research in the area of web services quality. Quality is a vital and integral component for the success of the web services paradigm. The workshop will focus on a holistic view of quality that integrates the objective view of QoS in terms of metrics and the subjective perception of QoS in terms of user context awareness. The workshop aims to foster and facilitate discussion and collaboration amongst researchers in the area of web services quality. The topics for which submissions are solicited include (but are not limited to): * Definition of quality metrics * Automation and validation of web services quality metrics * Modelling of web services quality * Quality aware enhancements to UDDI Instrumentation of Web services for QoS * Agent-based web service architecture as a means of providing QoS attributes * QoS in grid-based services * Computation of web processes QoS based on web services QoS * Semantic description of Web services QoS * Integration of context-awareness in to web service quality specification * Estimation and prediction of QoS levels * Scheduling techniques to support differentiated QoS levels * QoS driven selection and composition * QoS driven costing and pricing of web services * Automated generation of Service Level Agreements from QoS specifications * Multi-level quality descriptions for web services * QoE (Quality of Experience) and QoBiz (Quality of Business) Publication of Proceedings -------------------------- The proceedings of the workshop will be published by Springer Verlag as Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) . Key Dates ---------- Workshop paper submission: 20 June 2004 Notification of acceptance: 2 August 2004 Camera Ready Papers Due: 27 August 2004 Workshop: Either 22 or 24 November 2004 (To be decided by WISE Conference Organisers) Paper Submission ----------------- Authors should send PDF versions of their paper by email to: Seng Loke (Seng.Loke@infotech.monash.edu.au) by the deadline specified. Dr. Seng Loke School of Computer Science and Software Engineering Monash University 900 Dandenong Road Caulfield East, VIC 3145, Australia Hardcopy submission is discouraged. The names and affiliations of authors should not be included in the submission to enable blind review. The papers should also avoid self-references. A separate cover sheet with the names, affiliations and contact details of authors should be emailed along with the paper submission. We encourage two types of submissions: 1. regular submissions ^Ö not more than 12 pages in Springer format, and 2. short papers ^Ö not more than 6 pages in Springer format. Details of the Springer format are available here . 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.
