Apologize if you received multiple copies of this message. *************************************************************** Call For Contribution for the Web Services Challenge-06 in conjunction with The IEEE International Conference on e-Technology, e-Commerce, and e- Services (EEE-06) and the IEEE International Conference on Electronic Commerce (CEC-06) June 26-29, 2006, San Francisco, California Overview ========= The 2006 Web Services Challenge is co-located with the Conference on Electronic Commerce (CEC) and the Conference on Enterprise Computing, E-Commerce and E-Services (EEE). This third competition extends the original criteria of the first two competitions which focused on service discovery and service composition based on syntactic matching of WSDL part names. This year, the competition will also include semantic aspects. Since formalisms for representing semantics of services are quite complex and several different proposals/approaches exist, this competition adheres to a traditional approach. The organizers decided to include the computational complexity of semantics in the competition by leveraging classical XML standards. Input/Output messages of the service descriptions will be semantically linked via inheritance relationships as implemented using complex XML Schema types. The participants will be required to determine relations between different types during service discovery and service composition. The WS-Challenge (http://insel.flp.cs.tu-berlin.de/wsc06/) invites the participation of students and researchers addressing the different challenges stated in the Call for Participation and described in more detail in the technical description area. The competition entails the submission of a 2 page description of the approach to be submitted in early 2006. After a peer-review process, the technical descriptions will be included in the workshop proceedings of the joint conference. As a next step later in the spring of 2006, the participants will be required to provide a preliminary version of their software for a pre-competition evaluation stage. The pre-competition evaluation is required in order for teams to participate in the challenge taking place during the conference. Competition details are available at http://insel.flp.cs.tu-berlin.de/wsc06/ Important Dates: ================ * March 15th, 2006 Submission of Technical Description (2 pages, formatting conforming to IEEE CS Press Proceedings) * March 31st, 2006 Notification of Acceptance of Technical Description * April 15th, 2006 Final Version of Technical Description * May 15th, 2006 Pre-Evaluation of Matchmaking Software * June 26th-29th, 2006 Competition on Conference Site For more information contact the co-chairs: =========================================== M.
