CALL FOR PAPERS The 9th International Workshop on SERVICE-ORIENTED COMPUTING: AGENTS, SEMANTICS, AND ENGINEERING (SOCASE) as part of the Joint Agent-oriented Workshops in Synergy (JAWS) events at FEDERATED CONFERENCE ON COMPUTER SCIENCE AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS (FedCSIS) Szczecin, Poland, 18-21 September, 2011

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.
