SMR2-2010
Third International
Workshop on
http://www-ags.dfki.uni-sb.de/~klusch/smr2-10/
9th International
Semantic Web
Conference (ISWC 2010)
November 8, 2010
Shanghai, China
Aims
& Scope:
One
central challenge of service coordination in the Semantic Web is how to
best
relate requests for services with the services that are available.
This
functionality is usually provided by matchmaking capabilities (which
may
themselves be deployed as services, brokers or middle agents) that
select the
services that are closest to a requested service on the basis of a
declarative
characterization of the capabilities of both service requested and
services
provided.
More
generally, resource retrieval extends the notion of service matchmaking
to the
process of discovering any kind of resource (services, data,
information,
knowledge, even persons and organizations) for given settings,
participating
entities, and purposes. It is at the core of several scenarios in the
Semantic
Web area, spanning from Web services, Grid and cloud computing, and
Peer-to-Peer computing, to applications such as e-commerce, human
resource
management, and social networking applications such as dating services.
The
primary objective of this workshop is to bring together academic and
industry
researchers and industry practitioners who tackle semantic service
matchmaking
and discovery from various points of view. In
particular, we
intend to build bridges to the software engineering and model-driven
development communities in order to share requirements, technologies,
and
experiences that might be helpful in advancing the state of the art in
semantic
service matchmaking and resource retrieval.
Going
to Practice: The Third Semantic Service Selection (S3) Contest
The
SMR2 workshop also integrates the third edition of the open
international contest on semantic service selection (S3) executed in collaboration
with the
Semantic Web Service Challenge. The S3 contest provides the means
and a forum for evaluating the retrieval performance of Semantic Web
service
matchmakers in terms of recall, precision, F1, response time etc., over
given
test collections based on the prominent semantic service formats such
as OWL-S,
WSML and the standard SA-WSDL.
Publication:
Accepted
papers
will be available online as a volume of CEUR proceedings.
In
addition, selected papers will be published in a special issue of the
International Journal on Software
Tools for Technology Transfer
(STTT,
Springer
Verlag).
Topics of
interest include (but are not limited to):
*
Advanced
searching of services and other resources in the Semantic Web
*
Novel
approaches to matchmaking and brokering in the Semantic Web, with a
particular
emphasis on Semantic Web services

retrieval of resources and services in Cloud Computing
*
Matchmaking
in e-commerce scenarios: auctions, e-marketplaces, supply chains
*
Matchmaking
in other application scenarios: e-government, biopharma, etc.
*
Composition
planning of Semantic Web services
*
Negotiation
of Semantic Web services and resources
*
Interleaving
of discovery, composition, and negotiation of Semantic Web
services
*

*
Non-functional
service properties and their use for discovery (and composition)
*
Trust

*
Prototypes
and tools for Semantic Web services engineering
*
Middleware
