Call for Research Papers and PhD Symposium Papers and Workshop Proposals
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 8th European Conference on Web Services (ECOWS 2010)
December 1-3, 2010
Ayia Napa, Cyprus


The European Conference on Web Services (ECOWS) is the premier conference for both researchers and practitioners to exchange the latest advances in the state of the art and practices 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 2010 conference will include invited speakers, presentations of contributed research papers and an industrial track with the participation of top researchers in industry. ECOWS 2010 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. When properly implemented, services can be discovered and invoked dynamically using non-proprietary mechanisms, while each service can still be implemented in a black-box manner. This is important from a business perspective since each service can be implemented using any technology, independently of the others. What matters is that everybody agrees on the integration technology, and there is a consensus about this 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. dame


Topics of interest
------------------

The ECOWS 2010 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 Track include, but are not limited to, the following:

* Business Process Management and Web Services
* Dynamic and Adaptive Web Services
* Economics Models and Web Services
* Formal Methods for Web Services
* Frameworks for Building Web Service-Based Applications
* Mobile Web Services
* Model-Driven Web Service Engineering
* Next Generation Web Services Middleware
* Quality of Web Services
* RESTful Web Services
* Secure Web services
* Self-Organizing Service Oriented Architectures
* Semantic Web Services
* Service Level Agreements
* Service-Oriented Business Collaboration
* Web Service Composition and Mashups
* Web Services and Mobility
* Web Services and the Cloud
* Web Services for Grids
* Web Services in Service-Oriented Environments
* Web Services Life-Cycles

PhD Symposium
-------------

The ECOWS 2010 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.


ECOWS Workshops
===============

The ECOWS 2010 Organizing Committee is inviting submission for workshop
proposals. The topics of interest include methodologies and techniques
for Web services engineering (design, modelling, discovery, composition,
execution and mining), non conventional Web services (semantic
Web services, RESTful Web services and Mashups), Web services and domain
applications (business process management, cloud computing, grids,
pervasive, mobile and autonomic computing, and social Web), and Web
services middleware and frameworks. Proposals should be submitted in
plain text or pdf-format and not exceed 3 pages.


Submission Guidelines
---------------------

Original papers, not submitted for publication elsewhere, can be submitted via EasyChair

http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ecows2010.

Submissions should be formatted according to the IEEE proceedings guidelines, and they should not be exceed 8 pages. The conference proceedings are expected to be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press as in previous years.
