WEWST 2010 - 5th Workshop on Enhanced Web Service Technologies
December 1, 2010, Ayia Napa, Cyprus
http://www.inf.usi.ch/faculty/binder/wewst10/

Accepted papers will be published in the ACM digital library.


The Workshop on Enhanced Web Service Technologies (WEWST), collocated
with the European Conference on Web Services (ECOWS), is the premier
workshop for academic and industrial communities to discuss innovative
ideas and research contributions advancing the state-of-the-art in Web
service technologies.

WEWST-2010 will be the 5th international workshop in the WEWST
series. While the first four editions focused on Web service
technology as a newly emerging discipline, this workshop will address
advanced topics on Enhanced Web Service Technologies, thereby
acknowledging the maturity of the field.

Although the advantages of Web services to allow businesses to
interact with each other while maintaining a loose coupling are well
known, there are still many challenges to be solved in this important
field of research. The wide variety of tools, techniques, and
technological solutions presented in WEWST share one common feature:
they suggest new directions for Web service research by introducing
new and sometime controversial ideas into the field. The workshop
allows participants to gain new insights and to start collaborations
by discussing how their own work can be used in related but different
areas.


Topics

The WEWST 2010 program committee seeks original, high quality papers
related to Web service enhancements, including but not limited to the
following topics.
