In conjunction with
7th
IEEE International Conference on Web Services (ICWS 2009)
Call
for Papers
The goal of this workshop
is to bring together researchers and practitioners, both from the Academia and
from the Industry working in the areas of Web Service composition, Functional
and Non Functional Requirements (NFR: QoS, security),
and management and diagnosis, who investigate concepts, methods,
techniques, and tools to design and manage self-healing Web Services.
The development of
composite services poses very interesting challenges concerning their
functional and non functional requirement characteristics. On the one hand, a
composite Web Service depends on the NFR properties of its own Web Service
suppliers in order to provide a satisfactory service to the user. On the other
hand, the main issues for the fulfillment of QoS and
service level agreements are concerned with Web service performance
variability. Indeed, the QoS of a Web Service may
evolve relatively frequently, either because of internal changes or because of
workload fluctuations. The performance of the composite Web service may be
significantly improved by monitoring the execution of the component Web
Services and by flexibly reacting to faults and anomalies in a timely
fashion.
The concept of self-healing
Web Service has been introduced in order to describe services which exhibit
such properties. A self-healing Web Service can repair itself if any execution
problems occur, in order to successfully complete its own execution, while
respecting functional and NF agreements. In the design of a self-healing WS,
several aspects have to be considered. For instance, the service should be able
to detect failures as soon as possible and to enact suitable recovery actions.
Moreover, different NFR service levels might be considered in order to complete
the service execution in case of error.
For this workshop, contributions devoted to Web Services, QoS
management, functional and non functional adaptability, diagnosis and autonomic
services will be considered. Specifically, the relevant topics include, but are
not limited to:
ˇ
Distributed
and centralized solutions for the diagnosis and repair of choreographed and/or
orchestrated Web Services.
ˇ
Design
for the diagnosability and repairability
of Web Services.
ˇ
NFR
(quality, security, robustness, adaptability) management in choreographed and/or
orchestrated Web Services.
ˇ
Monitoring
simple and composite Web Services.
ˇ
Ontologies for WS.
ˇ
Dynamic
reconfiguration of Web Services.
ˇ
Predictive
management for Web Services adaptability.
ˇ
Autonomic
properties management in WS-based applications.
ˇ
Security in self-healing services
ˇ
Trust
in scientific service-based applications
