ECOWS 2010
The 8th European Conference on Web Services
December 1-3, 2010
Ayia Napa, Cyprus
http://www.cs.ucy.ac.cy/ecows10
First Call for Research Papers and PhD Symposium Papers
The European Conference on Web Services (ECOWS)
is the premier conference for both researchers and
practitioners to exchange the latest advances in
the state of the art and practices of Web
services. The
main objectives of this conference are to
facilitate the exchange between researchers and
practitioners and
to foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond.
The ECOWS 2010 conference will include invited
speakers, presentations of contributed research
papers and
an industrial track with the participation of top
researchers in industry. ECOWS 2010 will also
include a PhD
symposium and satellite workshops.
Background
The success encountered by the Web has shown that
tightly coupled software systems are only good for
niche markets, whereas loosely coupled software
systems can be more flexible, more adaptive and
often
more appropriate in practice. Loose coupling
makes it easier for a given system to interact
with other
systems, possibly legacy systems that share very
little with it. Web services are at the crossing
of
distributed computing and loosely coupled
systems. When applications are developed with
service-oriented
architectures, they can evolve more easily during
their lifespan and adapt better to changing
or even unpredictable environments. When properly
implemented, services can be discovered and
invoked
dynamically using non-proprietary mechanisms,
while each service can still be implemented in a
black-box
manner. This is important from a business
perspective since each service can be implemented
using any
technology, independently of the others. What
matters is that everybody agrees on the
integration
technology, and there is a consensus about this
in today's middleware market: Customers want to
use Web
technologies. Despite these promises, however,
service integrators, developers, and providers
need to create methods, tools and techniques to
support cost-effective development and use of
dependable
services and service-oriented applications.
Topics of interest
The ECOWS 2010 program committee seeks original,
high quality papers related to all aspects of Web
Services, which constitute the main technology
available to date for implementing
service-oriented
architectures and computing. Topics of interest
to the Research Track include, but are not
limited to, the
following:
* Business Process Management and Web Services
* Dynamic and Adaptive Web Services
* Economics Models and Web Services
* Formal Methods for Web Services
* Frameworks for Building Web Service-Based Applications
* Mobile Web Services
* Model-Driven Web Service Engineering
* Next Generation Web Services Middleware
* Quality of Web Services
* RESTful Web Services
* Secure Web services
* Self-Organizing Service Oriented Architectures
* Semantic Web Services
* Service Level Agreements
* Service-Oriented Business Collaboration
* Web Service Composition and Mashups
* Web Services and Mobility
* Web Services and the Cloud
* Web Services for Grids
* Web Services in Service-Oriented Environments
* Web Services Life-Cycles
PhD Symposium
The ECOWS 2010 PhD Symposium is an international
forum for PhD students working in any of the areas
addressed by the ECOWS conference. The main aim
of the Symposium is to give PhD students an
opportunity
to present their research activity and
perspectives, to critically discuss them with
other PhD students and
with established researchers in the area, and to
get fruitful feedback and advices on their
research activity.
ECOWS Workshops
The ECOWS 2010 Organizing Committee is inviting
submission for workshop proposals. The topics of
interest
include methodologies and techniques for Web
services engineering (design, modelling,
discovery,
composition, execution and mining), non
conventional Web services (semantic Web services,
RESTful Web
services and Mashups), Web services and domain
applications (business process management, cloud
computing, grids, pervasive, mobile and autonomic
computing, and social Web), and Web services
middleware and frameworks. Proposals should be
submitted in plain text or pdf-format and not
exceed 3
pages.
Workshop proposal submission: June 18th, 2010 11:59pm, GMT
Notification of acceptance: June 25, 2010 11:59pm, GMT
Submission Guidelines
Original papers, not submitted for publication
elsewhere, can be submitted via EasyChair
http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecows2010.
Submissions should be formatted according to the
IEEE proceedings guidelines, and they should not
be
exceed 8 pages. The conference proceedings are
expected to be published by the IEEE Computer
Society
Press as in previous years.
