CALL
FOR
PAPERS
The
8th
International
Workshop
on
SERVICE-ORIENTED
COMPUTING:
AGENTS, SEMANTICS, AND ENGINEERING (SOCASE)
http://www.swin.edu.au/hosting/socase2010/
to
be held at the 9th International Joint Conference on AUTONOMOUS
AGENTS AND
MULTIAGENT
SYSTEMS
(AAMAS-2009) Toronto Canada,
May
10-14
2010,
(http://www.cse.yorku.ca/AAMAS2010/)
IMPORTANT
DATES
Please
realize that we had to shorten the submission deadline by a week. For
those who
cannot make it till the 28 February we will still accept the paper till
7 March
as long as we are informed about the possible paper submission till 28
February. The problem is that the AAMAS organizers need the final
version of
the papers by 28 February. Moreover, the deadline for early
registration will
end on 12 March. We will try our best to inform you about the outcome
of our
review process by 11 March but cannot guarantee that, especially not if
we get
the paper pretty late. Thus, be prepared to have to pay a slightly
higher fee
if you don't want to register for the workshop and AAMAS without
knowing the
result of the review process for your paper. Also, make sure that you
can
revise your paper till 28 March. This deadline cannot be extended any
further.

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’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
Submission is to be done electronically. The
detailed instructions are provided at the SOCASE'10 web page https://www.easychair.org/login.cgi?conf=socase10.
Contact Zakaria Maamar (Zakaria.Maamar@zu.ac.ae)
for
help if required.
Submitted papers have a page limit of 15
pages and should be formatted according to LNCS specification. Authors
should
submit the manuscript in PDF format. Instructions and templates can be
found at
http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html.
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. Since this is associated with the AAMAS conference,
accepted
papers must be of real relevance to the multi-agent research community.
Accepted
papers will be published in the workshop proceedings. Similarly to the
previous
years the SOCASE 2010 post-proceedings will be published with
Springer’s LNCS,
subject to an appropriate number and quality of submissions. 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.
