CALL FOR PAPERS

URL: http://tab.computer.org/tcec/webservices

Computer (IEEE), the flagship publication of the IEEE Computer Society, invites articles relating to integration architectures for Web Services and/or application case studies that use Web Services technology. It is to appear in October 2003. Guest editors are Jen-Yao Chung (jychung@us.ibm.com), IBM T. J. Watson Research Center; Kwei-Jay Lin (klin@uci.edu), University of California, Irvine; and Rick Mathieu (mathieur@slu.edu), Saint Louis University.

Web services are Internet-based, modular applications that perform a specific business task and conform to a particular technical format. The technical format ensures each of these self-contained business services is an application that will easily integrate with other services to create a complete business process. This interoperability allows businesses to dynamically publish, discover, and aggregate a range of Web services through the Internet to more easily create innovative products, business processes and value chains. Typical application areas are business-to-business integration, content management, e-sourcing, composite Web Service creation, and design collaboration for computer engineering.

Proposed topics include:

• Web Services architecture and security; Frameworks for building Web Service applications; Composite Web Service creation and enabling infrastructures

• Web Services discovery; Resource management for web services; Solution Management for Web Services

• Dynamic invocation mechanisms for Web Services; Quality of service for Web Services; Web Services modeling; UDDI enhancements; SOAP enhancements

• Case studies for Web Services; E-Commerce applications using Web Services; Grid based Web Services applications
