[Related] CfP ESWC "Software and Services" Track
Call for Papers
The software industry in Europe competes aggressively, both for a share of the local market (representing 30% of global spending), and worldwide, resulting in a revenue in billions of euros. Increasingly Software as a Service (SaaS) is opening up previously entrenched markets so that it is essential to support its adoption. Already, service-orientation has rapidly risen to prominence in application construction at enterprise scale, and ontology-based semantics has proven its usefulness in this arena. At the same time Web-based systems, especially in the context of Web 2.0 and the Semantic Web, are increasingly built from more lightweight, so-called RESTful services.
The "Software and Services" track at ESWC 2010 is interested in both ends of this spectrum, and on the cross-fertilization of semantics-based support for the engineering, deployment, provisioning and consumption of services. Particular topics of relevance are:- Novel semantic descriptions for services and service-based systems, including RESTful services
- Use of semantics in the service engineering process
- Matchmaking/discovery, ranking and selection of services
- Data and protocol/process mediation
- Tools for the manual creation of semantic service descriptions
- Extraction of semantic service descriptions from unstructured and semi-structured sources
- Automated composition and federation of semantic web services
- Service science
- Case studies and issues regarding adoption of semantics in services
- Exploiting semantics for service quality assurance
- The role of semantics in context-driven service adaptation
