Joint CFP: BSN'06 & SoS4CO'06 Please accept our apologies for cross posting. ********************************************************************** JOINT CALL FOR PAPERS BSN'06 - SoS4CO'06 2nd International Workshop on Business Service Networks 2nd International Workshop on Service oriented Solutions for Cooperative Organizations June 26, 2006, San Francisco, California, USA http://elab.njit.edu/bsnsos4co in conjunction with IEEE Joint Conference on E-Commerce Technology (CEC-06) and on Enterprise Computing, E-Commerce and E-Services (EEE-06) http://linux.ece.uci.edu/cec06/ ********************************************************************* Business Services Networks (BSN's) are business networks, that is, a group of cooperative organizations either within an enterprise or between different enterprises, which are based on services. In that context, a service represents a set of encapsulated IT components implementing specific business functions. The service interface is self-describing in order to publish, discover and dynamically bind services using an underlying Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), most often implemented using Web Services standards. However, this flexibility with regard to loose-coupling and the interoperability between cooperative organizations is being applied in current projects, especially in industrial projects. This workshop concentrates on all facets of BSN's and the architecture of service-oriented solutions supporting inter- enterprise collaboration, throughout the entire collaboration life- cycle. This includes the consideration of business strategies for the establishment of a BSN with cooperative organizations from different SOA environments and maturity, as well as the design of such cooperation and collaboration starting with the requirements until the final instantiation of the collaboration by discovering, composing, deploying, and invoking services. Based on the composed BSN, the cooperation and collaboration brings new research from the perspectives of business (e.g. provisioning) and technical (e.g. transactions), e.g. monitoring and auditing in a network of organizations. We invite papers addressing business and technical issues of BSN's from various perspectives, including development strategies of new BSNs, design of BSNs, as well as management and execution. We encourage contributions from both academia and industry. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: BSN Strategy * Business models * Integration alliances and interoperability * Value added for BSN vendors and adopters * Mobile operators, grid services, and utility computing BSN Design * Service-Oriented solutions * Requirements engineering for BSN * Ontologies, document structures, messaging formats, etc. * Match-making of choreographies of different organizations * Match-making of semantic service descriptions * Negotiating of inter-organizational business processes * Service discovery on advanced registry concepts beyond UDDI * Quality of Service (QoS) and Cost of Service (CoS) negotiation * Role of Model-Driven Architectures (MDA) for BSN BSN Management & Execution * SOA-Enablement of software vendors * Service Level Agreements (SLA) * International provisioning and adoption barriers * Pricing and marketing on BSN demand software * Monitoring and enforcement of Quality of Service (QoS) * Distributed stateless and stateful transactions * Role of security, privacy and trust in BSN * Auditing of service evolution Submissions: Please submit paper via http://elab.njit.edu/bsnsos4co/submit. Workshop proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society, please use the IEEE double-column paper format at ftp://pubftp.computer.org/Press/Outgoing/proceedings/FORMAT.DOC. Papers can be at most 8 pages. Authors are invited to submit original and significant research contributions in the aforementioned areas. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by the members of the international program committee. We accept papers in DOC, PDF, and PS format. It is planned to select the best papers for a journal special issue. Further details will be announced soon. Registration: Please use the CEC/EEE site to register: http://linux.ece.uci.edu/cec06.
