----------------------------------------------------------------
*CALL FOR RESEARCH, INDUSTRY, AND PHD SYMPOSIUM PAPERS*
----------------------------------------------------------------
**DEADLINE EXTENDED**
**Abstract submission: April 25, 2011**
**Paper submission: April 29, 2011**
================================================================
The European Conference on Web Services (ECOWS) is the premier
conference on the advances in the state of the art and practice
of Web services. The main objectives of this conference are to
facilitate the exchange between researchers and practitioners
and to foster future collaborations in Europe and beyond.
The ECOWS 2011 conference will include invited speakers,
presentations of contributed research papers and an industrial
track with the participation of top researchers from industry.
ECOWS 2011 will also include a PhD symposium and satellite
workshops.
----------
Background
----------
The success encountered by the Web has shown that tightly
coupled software systems are only good for niche markets,
whereas loosely coupled software systems can be more flexible,
more adaptive and often more appropriate in practice. Loose
coupling makes it easier for a given system to interact with
other systems, possibly legacy systems that share very little
with it. Web services are at the crossing of distributed
computing and loosely coupled systems. When applications are
developed with service-oriented architectures, they can evolve
more easily during their lifespan and adapt better to changing
or even unpredictable environments. Services today can be
implemented such that they are discovered and invoked
dynamically using non-proprietary mechanisms. Such services
are developed and deployed in a black-box manner. This is of
particular importance from a business perspective since
services are implemented in a variety of technologies.
Essential is agreement on integration technology and consensus
has emerged in today's middleware market: Customers want
to use Web technologies. Despite these promises, however,
service integrators, developers, and providers need to create
methods, tools and techniques to support cost-effective
development and use of dependable services and service-oriented
applications.
------------------
Topics of interest
------------------
The ECOWS 2011 program committee seeks original, high quality
papers related to all aspects of Web Services, which constitute
the main technology available to date for implementing
service-oriented architectures and computing.
Topics of interest to the Research and Industry Tracks include,
but are not limited to, the following:
- Business Process Management and Web Services
- Cloud Services Management and Composition using Web Services
- Dynamic and Adaptive Web Services
- Economics Models and Web Services
- Enterprise Architecture and Web Services
- Emerging Trends of Service Composition and Mashups
- Experience reports of novel applications of Web Services in
Health, Commerce, Finance, Telecom, Scientific Computing and
other domains
- Service modeling, service-oriented analysis and design
- Formal Methods for Web Services
- Frameworks for Building Web Service-Based Applications
- Identity and Access Management using Web Services
- Mobile Web Services
- Model-Driven Web Service Engineering
- Next Generation Web Services Middleware and Service Repositories
- Service quality and service interface design guidelines
- RESTful Web Services
- Self-Organizing Service Oriented Architectures
- Semantic Web Services
- Service Level Agreements for Web services
- Service-Oriented Business Collaboration
- SOA Governance and Web Services
- Social Web Services
- Web Services for Grids
- Web Services in Service-Oriented Environments
- Web Services Life-Cycles
- Web Services Security and Privacy
It should be noted that papers on existing product descriptions
or product marketing information are not within the scope of the

PhD Symposium
-------------
The ECOWS 2011 PhD Symposium is an international forum for PhD
students working in any of the areas addressed by the ECOWS
conference. The main aim of the Symposium is to give PhD
students an opportunity to present their research activity and
perspectives, to critically discuss them with other PhD students
and with established researchers in the area, and to get fruitful
feedback and advices on their research activity.
PhD students working in any area addressed by the ECOWS
conference can submit a short report providing a clear statement
of the problem they intend to address, motivating the interest
and novelty of the underlying research challenges, demonstrating
the ideas by examples, and describing the proposed research plan
and expected results. Reports should not exceed 6 pages formatted
according to the IEEE proceedings guidelines. The papers should
be authored by the PhD student and indicate the name of her/his
supervisor. Submissions must be sent by email to the symposium
chair Wolf Zimmermann (wolf.zimmermann@informatik.uni-halle.de).
