Taking into consideration the development of SOA and growing number of available Web services, it is reasonable to start perceiving services as real goods and not only as programmatic tools that facilitate the integration of IT systems. This perception is a first step to create SOA ecosystems with Web service markets that link requesters and providers, and support them in their transactions. Outsourcing of IT services to external vendors causes dependency and introduces new challenges. In particular, this applies to the quality of outsourced services. If a mission-critical service is sourced out to an external vendor, the provisioning of the required service and its quality is beyond immediate control of the service customer. The success of the companies depends heavily on the ability to discover and select the right service (meaning the best possible in the given market condition and clients' requirements i.e. given context) for the needs of business processes taking into account both functional and non-functional characteristic of a service. This suggests also a need for defining Web service quality models that may assure the requirements of service users and service providers. Providing correct and up-to-date service descriptions that can be matched against fine-grained search requests is essential for automated service discovery and selection, but it is not always feasible. A single service may provide quite broad, frequently changing, functionality. Describing all aspects of such a service may produce large descriptions that quickly become outdated and where frequent re-publishing may be not feasible. On the other hand, the intricacies of service functionality may depend on the customer at hand, the actual request and current business conditions. Moreover, service providers might not want to disclose some of the details of their functionality due to its sensitive character (e.g., pricing policy). In case of dynamic and customer dependent service, aspects like availability, price, delivery time and lead time cannot be statically described. Functionality offered by such services can be non-deterministic and cannot be generalized into static service descriptions which would be detailed enough for matching against fine grained search requests. Dynamic services call for the discovery and service model that would encompass information dynamism. Two possible directions can be pointed out: (1) user data dependence in service description, (2) support for information provisioning by interacting with a service during the discovery process. Strategies and service models utilizing dynamic information in service discovery and selection process should be further investigated. This workshop aims at gathering researchers and practitioners who present their original work in the topics of service interactions in service ecosystems with a special focus on the interactions mentioned above i.e. (dynamic) service discovery and selection.
