Special Issue on Transactional Web Services

Guest Editors: Youakim Badr, Djamal Benslimane, Zakaria Maamar and Ling Liu

Editor-in-Chief of TSC: Liang-Jie (LJ) Zhang, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, USA

Overview: -------- This special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Services Computing focuses on transactional Web services. Today's Web service-based applications require advanced transactional models that guarantee the integrity and continuity of business processes despite the dynamic nature that characterize the environments that host the execution of these processes. The development of such models has drawn the attention of both academia and industry communities. This special issue will shed light on the latest advances in the fields of Web services with focus on the transactional dimension.

This special issue seeks original research and industrial papers on transactional models and approaches in the context of business applications built upon Web services. The Internet along with its related technologies have created an interconnected world in which services can be invoked anytime, anywhere, which increases the importance of making these services reliable and robust. For this purpose, Web services must be looked into from a transactional perspective.

A variety of transactional models are created in the database community. Some of them can be leveraged and enhanced to support Web services while others are not suitable because of the dynamic nature of Web services, long-running execution scenarios, and successful execution despite failure. New transactional models for Web services are deemed appropriate. Papers describing advanced research and experiences on transactional Web services are solicited.

Topics of interests include, but are not limited to: - Transactional models for Web services - Recovery mechanisms and Web services - Transactional Web services standards and protocols - Transactional Web services in mobile applications - Fault-Tolerant mechanisms for transactional Web services - Case studies on transactional Web services
