DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this workshop is to present and discuss the recent 
significant developments at the intersections of Multi-agent Systems, 
Semantic Technology, and Service-oriented Computing, and to promote 
cross-fertilization of techniques. In particular, the workshop aims at 
identifying techniques from Multi-agent System and Semantic Technology 
research that will have the greatest impact on automating 
service-oriented application construction and management, focusing on 
critical challenges such as service quality assurance, reliability, and 
adaptability.
The Service-Oriented Computing: Agents, Semantics, and Engineering 
(SOCASE) workshop continues the theme of the previous SOCASE workshops 
successfully held at AAMAS’10, AAMAS’09, AAMAS’08 and AAMAS’07, the 
SOCABE workshops held at AAMAS’06, AAMAS’05 and the WSABE workshops held 
at AAMAS’04 and AAMAS’03, with an expanded theme reflecting the wide 
spectrum of issues of the cross section between agent-based and 
service-oriented paradigms.

TOPICS
We invite papers on all aspects relating to the overlap of Agent 
Technology, Semantic Web Services, and Service-oriented Computing. 
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Agent-oriented architectures, frameworks, and infrastructures for 
distributed service-oriented software and Semantic Web systems
* Agent-oriented modeling and design methods and tools for 
service-oriented software and
Semantic Web development
* Web services and Semantic Web technologies and standards for 
multi-agent system design, development, and integration
* Agent-enabled adaptation, evolution, and optimization of services and 
processes
* Agent-based service description, advertisement, matchmaking, 
discovery, and brokering
* Agent-based service composition, orchestration, and choreography
* Agent-based monitoring and exception-handling for service execution 
and delivery
* Agent-based negotiation and management of Quality of Service and 
Service Level Agreements
* Deployment and distribution of agent-based service systems and 
service-oriented agent systems
* Agent-based service business models, application scenarios and demos 
(e.g. in e-Business, e-Science, Enterprise, Telecom, etc.), and lessons 
learned
* Ontology matching for service discovery, negotiation, orchestration, 
composition, and execution
* Ontology generation, hearing and reasoning, and ontology-oriented 
dynamic mediation among agents

SUBMISSION and PUBLICATION
Please add this information from FedCSIS.
Submissions will be peer-reviewed by three reviewers per paper. 
Selection criteria will include:
Relevance, significance, impact, originality, technical soundness, 
quality of presentation. Some preference may also be given to papers 
which address emergent trends or important common themes, or which 
enhance balance of workshop topics. Accepted papers will be published in 
the workshop proceedings which will be published as IEEE digital library 
papers. A selection of best papers will also be invited to submit 
extended and enhanced versions of the papers to a special issue of a 
major international journal.
