4th International Symposium on Web Services

Wrocław, Poland, 9-12 September 2012

Web services are emerging as a major technology for deploying automated interactions between distributed and heterogeneous applications. Various standards support this deployment including WSDL, UDDI, and SOAP. These standards respectively support the definition of Web services, their advertisement to potential users, and finally their binding for invocation purposes. In general, composing Web services rather than accessing a single Web service is essential and provides better benefits to users.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

Standards for Web services
Semantic Web services
Context-aware Web services
Composition approaches for Web services
Security of Web services
Software agents for Web services composition
Supporting SWS Deployment
Architectures for SWS Deployment
Applications of SWS to E-business and E-government
Supporting Enterprise Application Integration with SWS
SWS Conversational Protocols and Choreography
Ontologies and Languages for Service Description
Ontologies and Languages for Process Modeling
Foundations of Reasoning about Services and/or Processes
Composition of Semantic Web Services
