The 2003 International Conference on Web Services (ICWS'03) will
be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, June 23 - 26, 2003. It is the first international conference focusing on Web Services.
The ICWS'03 is a forum for researchers and industry practioner to exchange information regarding advancements in the state of the art
and practice of Web Services, as well as to identify the emerging research topics and define the future of Web Services computing.
The ICWS'03 Conference will be held simultaneously (ie, same location and dates) with a number of other international conferences and
workshops (CISST'03, IC-AI'03, IC'03, METMBS'03, CIC'03, ...; see http://www.ashland.edu/~iajwa/conferences/
for the complete list).
Web services are Internet-based, modular applications that provide standard interfaces and communication protocols for efficient and
effective business application integration. Typical application areas are business-to-business integration, business process
integration and management, content management, e-sourcing, composite Web Service creation, and design collaboration
for computer engineering. Currently, Grid computing has also started to leverage Web services to define standard interfaces for business
services like business process outsourcing, a higher level outsourcing mode of e-business on demand.
