The 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Software Engineering for Adaptive Software Systems http://conferences.computer.org/icws/2008test/workshop2.html SEASS 2008 Theme: Empowering Web Services with Adaptability
In conjunction with IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS2008) September 23-26 2008, Beijing User:Curator 83ina
Call for Papers:
Web services have been driving service-oriented architecture (SOA), promising not only a new paradigm for B2B collaboration, but also more opportunities for the creation of value-added services and new business models. While SOA presents a harmonious and exciting picture for enterprise applications, a variety of classical and emerging challenges arise when deploying and operating an SOA in dynamic environments. These include how to rapidly and accurately discover and bind to the "right" service; how to automatically negotiate an SLA among a group of collaborative services; how to check/resolve policy conflicts between these services; how to monitor and audit these service behaviours and QoS at runtime; how to handle exceptions of long-running transactions across loosely coupling services, and so on. All of these challenges share a similar requirement for Web services: building adaptability in Web services so that they can adapt to accommodate heterogeneity of interface and QoS, resolve conflicts and handle faults in a dynamic environment at runtime. Following the success of SEASS-2007, SEASS-2008 will bring together academic researchers and industry practitioners to present and discuss adaptability-related research and experiences especially within SOA and web services domains. The topics of the workshop include but are not limited to:
- Software architecture support for enhancing SOA adaptability, including - Standards and protocols proposals or extension for dynamic collaborations among services - Requirement analysis for adaptation in SOA - Negotiation protocols for SLA and dynamic service binding - Policy definition, confliction checking and resolving and enforcement at runtime - Testing, configuration and deployment for adaptive service management - Patterns, best practices and experience reports in adaptation development for a class of web service applications - Adaptive service development process - Adaptive service engineering
