SOADS 2013 - International Workshop on Service Oriented Architecture in Distributed Systems

Today the SOA paradigm is receiving new dimension in SOKU that delivers methods for acquisition, processing and integration of knowledge. Due to the complexity of SOKU systems, there is a great need for development of descriptive representation methods and procedural knowledge. The SOKU concept can be the response to the rapidly growing demand for the reduction of management costs and the need to improve the effectiveness of business processes. The SOKU approach involves flexible and effective design, implementation, provision and modification of services for many different application areas such as: economy, science, administration, etc.
