Workshop on Web Services-based Grid Applications (WSGA)*
http://pat.jpl.nasa.gov/public/WSGA/

Held in conjunction with:
2006 International Conference on Parallel Processing (ICPP-2006)
Columbus, Ohio, USA
August 14 or 18, 2006

*Introduction
*
Based on the successful 2005 ICPP workshop "Workshop on Web And Grid 
Services for Scientific Data Analysis (WAGSSDA)", this workshop will 
continue the examination of how ideas from the Grid world are being 
transformed into a layer above Web Services by scientific researchers 
who are exploring these technologies to see if they can help satisfy 
their needs.

While the concepts of the Grid have had tremendous promise, thus far 
this promise has not been fully realized. On the other hand, simple 
web-based technologies have transformed Web pages in powerful and 
dynamic content, which are being further enhanced by emerging Web 
Services. Many feel that Web services-based applications may be the 
solution that will allow the Grid to realize its potential.

The goal of this workshop is to cross-fertilize the areas of Web 
service-based grid technologies and scientific applications. Topics of 
interest include, but are not limited to:


*Topics of Interest
*
Web services, including integrating emerging WS specifications such as 
WS-Notification, WS-Addressing, and the use of WS-RF or other emerging 
frameworks
Security, including graduated authentication or the use of WS-Security
Workflow enactment, choreography, and management
Distributed data analysis and management
Knowledge extraction and use
Semantic technologies, including ontologies, the use of RDF, and other 
XML-based tools


*Draft Paper Submission Guidelines
*
Formatted according to the IEEE standard double-column format with a 
font size 10 pt or larger
Strictly limited to 8 pages in length
Submissions should represent original research results.
Include an abstract, five to ten keywords, and the corresponding 
author's e-mail address
PDF format only
E-Mail submissions only, to the co-chairs
