First Call for Papers and Special Sessions

The 4th International Symposium on Web Services (WSS’2011 Hammamet, Tunisia April 20-21, 2011 (www.miracl.rnu.tn/wss11)

Web services are emerging as a major technology for deploying automated interactions between distributed and heterogeneous applications. Various standards support this deployment including WSDL, UDDI, and SOAP. These standards respectively support the definition of Web services, their advertisement to potential users, and finally their binding for invocation purposes. In general, composing Web services rather than accessing a single Web service is essential and provides better benefits to users. After the previous three editions of the Web Services Symposium (WSS) at Zayed University, Dubai, U.A.E (www.zu.ac.ae/wss/), the 2011 edition of the WSS will be organized in Hammamet, Tunisia on April 20th and 21st by the Multimedia, and InfoRmation systems and Advanced Computing Laboratory (Mir@cl), Sfax University, Tunisia. WSS’2011 aims to offer a forum for scientists, engineers, and practitioners to present their latest research, results, ideas, developments, and applications of Web services. It will feature keynote presentations, paper presentations, special sessions and demonstrations.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Standards for Web services • Semantic Web services • Context-aware Web services • Composition approaches for Web services • Security of Web services • Software agents for Web services composition • Supporting SWS Deployment • Architectures for SWS Deployment • Applications of SWS to E-business and E-government • Supporting Enterprise Application Integration with SWS • SWS Conversational Protocols and Choreography • Ontologies and Languages for Service Description • Ontologies and Languages for Process Modeling • Foundations of Reasoning about Services and/or Processes • Composition of Semantic Web Services

INTENDED AUDIENCE The intended audience includes researchers working on Web services, Grid services, and related technologies; students interested in these topics; developers of commercial Web services standards (such as those engaged in these activities at W3C and OASIS); and commercial software developers who are investigating how to achieve greater flexibility and automation in the delivery of Web services.
