About the Workshop
In the past few years, Web services have become very popular in the
research community as well as industry. Web services are distributed
computing application components with services-oriented architecture. They
use Extensible Markup Language (XML) interface description languages, such
as the standardized Web Services Description Language (WSDL), and uniform
communication protocols, such as the standardized SOAP protocol (previously
known as the Simple Object Access Protocol). Typical application areas of
Web services are business-to-business (B2B) integration, enterprise
application integration (EAI), e-business process integration and
management services. Implementation- independence of Web services
technologies provides that Web services distributed over the Internet, run
on different platforms, implemented in different programming languages, and
provided by different businesses can collaborate in achieving common
business goals. In particular, Web services technologies are supported by
all major computing companies, including IBM, Microsoft, Sun, HP, and
Oracle.
Middleware plays an important role for Web services technologies. For
example, implementation independence of Web services is achieved using
middleware, such as application servers and/or SOAP engines. In addition,
different middleware solutions are used to provide, monitor, and manage
quality of service (QoS) aspects, such as performance, security, and
reliability. The goal of this one-day (September 19, 2005) workshop is to
bring together industrial, academic, and government researchers and
developers interested in Web services and/or middleware technologies.
Through paper presentations and discussions, this workshop will contribute
to the exchange of knowledge and ideas, dissemination of results about
completed and on-going research projects, as well as identification and
analysis of remaining open research issues and possible approaches towards
their solution.
