Service-Oriented Computing is becoming one of the most important mainstream paradigms for the engineering of large scale complex open systems. It is widely recognized that when combined with multi-agent systems (MAS) principles, techniques and methodologies, the full potentials of service-oriented computing will be further released. There are also many common research issues in these two closely related research areas. However, over the years solutions have been developed separately in different communities.

SOC-MAS’11 provides a premier forum for researchers and engineers alike in both communities to present state-of-the-art research and development progresses in all areas related to architectures, design, implementation, applications and evaluation of service-oriented computing and multi-agent systems with emphasis on the interplay between the two. It aims at fostering the collaborations across the boundary.

Topics

Topics of particular interest include (but not limited to) the followings.

Development methodologies: Agent/Service oriented software engineering principles, methods techniques and processes, including requirements analysis and specification, modelling, design, testing, quality assurance, reliability and adaptability, and tools, etc.
Enabling techniques: resource allocation, negotiation, quality of services, and workflow management in service-oriented/agent-oriented computing, especially for utility computing, cloud computing, etc.
Infrastructures and architectures: the frameworks, platforms and architectures for agent-oriented/service oriented computing;
Fundamental issues: Multi-agent collaboration and interactions; service description, discovery, composition, orchestration and choreography; Service Level Agreements (SLA), etc.
Languages: Service-oriented and agent-oriented programming languages, environments and platforms; service and agent communication languages; ontology generation, management, semantic services.
Applications: The applications of agent technology and service-oriented computing in E-Business, E-collaboration management, e-Science, Healthcare services, Mobile and ubiquitous computing
