SOCASE 2012 - The 10th International Workshop on Service-Oriented Computing: Agents, Semantics, and Engineering (SOCASE)

The 10th International Workshop on

Service-Oriented Computing: Agents, Semantics, and Engineering (SOCASE)

DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this workshop is to present and discuss the recent significant developments at the intersections of Multi-agent Systems, Semantic Technology, and Service-oriented Computing, and to promote cross-fertilization of techniques. In particular, the workshop aims at identifying techniques from Multi-agent System and Semantic Technology research that will have the greatest impact on automating service-oriented application construction and management, focusing on critical challenges such as service quality assurance, reliability, and adaptability. The Service-Oriented Computing: Agents, Semantics, and Engineering (SOCASE) workshop continues the theme of the previous SOCASE workshops successfully held at AAMAS?10, AAMAS?09, AAMAS?08 and AAMAS?07, the SOCABE workshops held at AAMAS?06, AAMAS?05 and the WSABE workshops held at AAMAS?04 and AAMAS?03, with an expanded theme reflecting the wide spectrum of issues of the cross section between agent-based and service-oriented paradigms.

TOPICS
We invite papers on all aspects relating to the overlap of Agent Technology,
Semantic Web Services, and Service-oriented Computing. Topics of interest include,
but are not limited to:

Agent-oriented architectures, frameworks, and infrastructures for distributedservice-oriented software and Semantic Web systems
Agent-oriented modeling and design methods and tools for service-oriented software and Semantic Web development
Web services and Semantic Web technologies and standards for multi-agent system design, development, and integration
Agent-enabled adaptation, evolution, and optimization of services and processes
Agent-based service description, advertisement, matchmaking, discovery, and brokering
Agent-based service composition, orchestration, and choreography
Agent-based monitoring and exception-handling for service execution and delivery
Agent-based negotiation and management of Quality of Service and Service Level Agreements
Deployment and distribution of agent-based service systems and service-oriented agent systems
Agent-based service business models, application scenarios and demos (e.g. in e-Business, e-Science, Enterprise, Telecom, etc.), and lessons learned
Ontology matching for service discovery, negotiation, orchestration, composition, and execution
Ontology generation, hearing and reasoning, and ontology-oriented dynamic mediation among agents
