SPECIAL SESSION ON

"Web Service Engineering"

Antalya, Turkey, September 3-5, 2003

http://www.sea.uni-linz.ac.at/conferences/eu2003/

Over the last years most business processes changed on various
dimensions (e.g. flexibility, interconnectivity, coordination style,
autonomy) due to market conditions, organizational models, and usage
scenarios of information systems. This trends lead to connected and
integrated information systems increasingly based on web services. Web
services promise the realization of a "service-oriented architecture"
for distributed and integrated information systems. Some people claim
that after object-orientation and component-based software engineering,
web services require new development paradigms having considerable
implications on software processes and products. Currently most
organizations spend substantial amount of their resources to
interconnect and glue information systems, and to a far lesser degree on
the underlying engineering principles and methodologies for web
services. This session is interested in issues that need to be addressed
before web services become a paradigm for distributed information
systems and invites contributions on software processes, methodologies,
and engineering principles for developing web service based information
systems.

It also encourages industrial practitioners to engage in discussions
contributing to the body of knowledge within the focus of the special
session.

Topics of interest: The topics of interest in the special session
include, but are not restricted to the following:

- Approaches for design, development, and provisioning of web services
- Design principles of service-oriented architectures and their
implications on software processes and products
- Issues on the seperation of interface and implementation of web services
- Methodologies and Techniques for web service composition
- Standards and design principles for web service flows (e.g. BPEL4WS,
WSFL, XLANG, ebXML, etc.)
- Issues on process modeling and enactment of web services
