Zurich, Switzerland,
4--6 December 2006 The European Conference on Web Services (ECOWS) is the premier conference for both researchers and practicioners 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 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. Service-oriented computing is at the crossing of distributed computing and loosely coupled systems. When applications adopt service-oriented architectures, they can evolve during their lifespans more easily and better adapt to changing or 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 customers no longer need to "choose their side." 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 the use of dependable services and service-oriented applications. ECOWS 2006 will cover 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:
Paper Submissions for the research trackWe solicit papers with a maximum of 10 pages, containing new material, work in progress, or position papers. Submissions must be in English, must be original, and must not have been submitted for publication elsewhere. Submissions should be made through the website (available early April). When preparing the submissions please follow the IEEE Computer Society's 2-column conference proceedings format (instructions, LaTex, Doc) and submit the paper in PDF format. The authors shortlisted for the best-research-paper award will be invited to submit enhanced versions of their papers to the International Journal of Web Services Research (JWSR) for fast-track publication. Important DatesAbstract submission
deadline: June 16, 2006
