The 3rd International Conference of Service Oriented Computing

(ICSOC'05) follows on the success of two previous editions in New York

City, USA (2004) and Trento, Italy (2003), and aims at consolidating as

the main reference conference for service oriented computing and web

services, by (i) crossing the boundaries of the existing communities by

attracting top level scientific contributions from different scientific

communities, thus creating a scientific venue where participants can

share ideas and compare their approaches to tackling the many still open

common research challenges; (ii) establishing a link between research

and industry. Due to the industrial relevance of many research

challenges and service oriented technologies, ICSOC'05 inherits from

previous editions a strong industrial presence, both in the conference

organization and in the program.

 

 

This year, the International Program Committee selected 32 long  papers,

15 short papers. There are also demonstration papers and vision papers

selected for presentations which are unique features of the program.

Some of the highlights of the program are:

 

(1) Two half-day tutorials;

 

    Opportunities for Service Oriented Architecture in Telecom Industry

    Nilanjan Banerjee, Motorola India Research Lab, Bangalore, India

    Dipanjan Chakraborty, and Amit Anil Nanavati, 

    IBM Research Lab, New Delhi, India

 

    WS-Agreement Concepts, Use and Implementation

    Heiko Ludwig, IBM Watson Research Center

    Toshiyuki Nakata, NEC Corporation

 

(2) Keynote presentations from field leaders including;

 

    Carlo Ghezzi, Politecnico di Milano, Italy

    Stuart Feldman, IBM Research, USA

    Uday Kumaraswami, HP, USA

    David Chappell, Sonic Software, USA

 

(3) A panel discussion on  "SOA: Are they realistic?"

 

    The discussion  which is organised by the European Commission is an 

    opportunity for experts in the field of service engineering to help

    identify key research challenges for the next 5-8 years. The results

    will be used to set funding priorities for research in this area
during

    the Seventh Framework Programme
(http://www.cordis.lu/ist/about/fp7.htm).

 

(4) Five workshops in the following areas;

 

    * Dynamic Web Processes - DWP '05

    * Design of Service-Oriented Applications - WDSOC '05

    * Engineering Service Compositions - WESC '05

    * Mediation in Semantic Web Services - MEDIATE '05

    * Service-Oriented Business Processes Integration - SOBPI '05

 

(5) PhD Student Symposium
