1st Web Services Quality Workshop
WQW-2003
Call for Papers


OVERVIEW:

Web Services is an emerging technology driven by the will to securely expose 
business logic beyond the firewall. Through Web services companies can 
encapsulate existing business processes, publish them as services, and let 
other companies access these services.

However, from a customer point of view, there may be hundreds of similar Web 
Services to choose from making it difficult to make a decision. This necessity 
is being covered by specialist directories and Web Service brokerages becoming 
available. These brokerages give you additional information about your Web 
Service or Web Service provider to enabling you to make an informed decision. 

This information will need to include quality criteria that assess the quality 
of the service, the readiness of the WS provider, the degree of engagement of 
the provider or the latency of the service just to mention a few. 

This workshop aims at promoting all the areas related to the quality of the web 
services by giving to the researchers of the area the opportunity of sharing 
their works and a place for discussion.


LIST OF TOPICS:

Submissions are invited, but not limited, to the following topics: definition, 
automation and validation of web service quality metrics, web services 
modelling, UDDI enhancements, instrumentation of Web services for QoS,
