Workshop Theme
Semantic Web and Web Services have been envisioned as
Semantic Web Services for dynamic discovery, selection, composition,
negotiation and invocation of Web Services. Significant work has already
been done in this decade to apply Semantic Web technologies for Web
Services and a large body of relevant work exists from earlier decades, in
fields such as formal languages, knowledge representation, planning,
agent-based systems and artificial intelligence. Nevertheless many
difficult research challenges remain, and much work is needed to adapt
relevant existing technologies to the context of Web services and the
Semantic Web, and to prepare the more mature models, languages,
capabilities and architectures for widespread deployment.
This workshop under the umbrella of the ECOWS conference
as being on of the premier conferences for both researchers and
practitioners to exchange the latest advances in the state of the art and
practices of Web Services, aims to cover the semantic aspects for Web
Services. This workshop will provide a forum to focus on technical
challenges for applying Semantic Web technologies to Web Services (i.e.
Semantic Web Services), provide guidance to early adopters of Semantic Web
Services technology, particularly in the business community and facilitate
the formation of new communities of Semantic Web Services users.
Workshop Topics (include following, but not limited to)
- Semantics with W3C Web services technologies
- Semantics-enabled services designs
- Semantic Web technologies in Web services discovery, composition,
...
- Mapping Web Services technologies to Semantic Web
- Web services and agent technologies
- Semantic Web and agent technologies for Web Services
- OWL-S, WSMO, WSDL-S based systems
- Ontologies for modeling (semantic) Web services
- Formal languages for describing (semantic) Web services
- Quality of services (QoS) in Web Services
- Advertising, discovery, matchmaking, selection, and brokering of
(semantic) Web services
- Semantic Web Services architectures, tools, middleware
- Security and privacy for (semantic) Web services
- Use cases for using semantics in Web Services

Papers are solicited for any of the topics of interest
listed above but not limited to. We invite contributions of different kinds.
We solicit papers or reports on account of experiences of Semantic
technologies to Web Services:
• Completed work
• Description of current work and work in progress
• Discussion papers comparing different past work and experiences
In addition, we invite people wishing to participate in the workshop to
submit a short position paper concerning statements of interest. Spaces will
be limited and those who have submitted a paper will be given priority for
registration. Both types of papers will provide the framework for the
discussions during the workshop. Papers must be written in English Language.
Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least two members of the program
committee, and selected on the basis of their relevance and originality.
Both regular papers and position papers should be formatted according to the
official formatting guidelines of the ECOWS 2006 main conference. Regular
papers should not exceed 8 pages, short papers should not exceed 4 pages,
while position statements should not exceed 2 pages.
Papers should be submitted preferably in PDF (Adobe's Portable Document
Format) through online submission system which can be accessed at
http://www.easychair.org/SemWS06/
