From: Jian Yang - Visitor <jian(a)KUB.NL>
To: ISWORLD(a)LISTSERV.HEANET.IE
Workshop on
"Web Services and e-Business Technology:
Models, Architecture, Engineering and Applications"
In conjunction with CAiSE*02
Workshop Aims and Objectives
============================
The Internet is changing the way businesses operate. Organizations are
using the web to deliver their goods and services, to find trading
partners, and to link their existing (maybe legacy) applications to
other applications. Web services are rapidly becoming the enabling
technology of today's e-business and e-commerce systems,
and will soon transform the web as it now into a new distributed
application to an application computation network.
On the other hand, e-business as an emerging concept is also impacting
software applications, the everyday services landscape, and the way how
we do things in almost each domain of our life. There is already a body
of experience accumulated to demonstrate the difference between just
having an online presence and using the web
as a strategic and functional medium in e-business-to-business
interaction (B2B) as well as marketplaces.
Clearly web services must satisfy a number of challenging requirements
in order to be able to play a crucial role in the new application domain
of e-business and distributed application development. They should be
modelled and designed to reflect the business objectives. Although some
progress has been made in the area of web service description and
discovery, and there are some important standards like SOAP, WSDL,
and UDDI emerging, there is still a long way to go. There is still a
list of issues that need to be addressed and researched in connection
with technology support, modelling methodologies and engineering
principles before web services become the prominent paradigm for
distributed computing and electronic business.
The goal of this workshop is to bring web service and e-business
technological issues together for discussion and review. This includes
new research results and developments in the context of web services and
e-business as well as application of
existing research results in this new fascinating area.
