**** CALL FOR PAPERS ****
3rd International Workshop on Web Service Composition and Adaptation
(WSCA-2009)
Website: http://lsdis.cs.uga.edu/WSCA2009
July 6th, 2009, Los Angeles, California, USA
Affiliated with the IEEE International Conference on Web Services, 2009
Recent advances in networks, information and computation grids,
and Web languages and protocols have enabled development of, and
led to the proliferation of, distributed and autonomously developed
Web services. These include WSDL/SOAP based services well suited for
enterprise applications as well as lighter-weight WebAPIs and RESTful
services widely used in Web applications. Correspondingly, the
construction and deployment of mashups and composite services that
combine and reuse independently developed component services is an
important capability in the emerging Web-based computing
infrastructure.
Given that business and application needs continually change, and
component services may also independently change, a number of
challenges in provide dynamic, flexible and adaptable approaches to such
integration and composition of services remains an important challenge.
Against this background, this workshop, to be held in conjunction with
2009 IEEE International Conference on Web Services, invites manuscripts
addressing various aspects related to (a) discovery or selection of
component services that will be integrated, (b) use of semantics to
ease data mediation and integration of component services, (c)
developing approaches to handling service failures, changes in service
functionalities, and changes to quality of service
parameters, and (d) understanding external events, which are the
sources of volatility in service compositions. Insightful examples of
and approaches to service composition and adaptation in a variety
of applications such as scientific and engineering workflows, mobile
computing, sensor networks, consumer and social networking, are
welcomed as well. Additionally, we invite discussions of toolkits that
support composition and adaptation objectives.
*Specific topics of interest include*
- Dynamic service discovery and selection
- Semantic annotation and mediation of services
- Ontology-based approaches to service composition and mashups
- Domain specific languages for mashups
- Formal methods in service composition
- Verification of service compositions
- Reuse in service composition: service compatibility and substitution
- Adaptation and Evolution of services, including modeling of events that
impact service compositions and mashups, and techniques to respond to
these events
- Case studies, and applications (e.g., in e-science, e-Business,
e-Government, mobile computing, social computing, sensor networks)
*Submission guidelines*
Authors are asked to submit original, unpublished research papers that are
not being considered for publication in any other forum. Papers must be
limited to 8 pages and following the formatting of the IEEE Computer
Science Proceedings template:
http://conferences.computer.org/icws/2009/IEEEProceedingsTemplate.doc
Papers can be submitted electronically via the Confhub

****JETWI Aims****
Following the introduction of the phrase "Web 2.0" as a description of the
recent evolution of the Web, the term "Emergent Web Intelligence or Web
3.0" has been introduced to hypothesize about a future wave of Internet
innovation. Views on the next stage of the World Wide Web's evolution vary
greatly, from the concept of emerging technologies such as the Semantic
Web transforming the way the Web is used (and leading to new possibilities
in artificial intelligence) to the observation that increases in Internet
connection speeds, modular web applications, and advances in computer
graphics will play the key role in the evolution of the World Wide Web.
JETWI aims at gathering the latest advances of various topics in web
intelligence and reporting how organizations can gain competitive
advantages by applying the different emergent techniques in the real-world
scenarios. Papers and studies which couple the intelligence techniques and
theories with specific web technology problems are mainly targeted. Survey
