4th Int'l Workshop on SOA And Web Services - Best Practices and Patterns

Service Oriented Computing (SOC) and Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) are gaining more ground through industry projects and success stories. Industry analysts are making predications and their past ones are gradually coming to fruition. Companies are investing heavily in technologies that support SOA & Web services. This rapidly maturing paradigm for loosely-coupled distributed computing and e-business processing is changing the way software applications are modeled, analyzed, designed, architected, realized, deployed, delivered and consumed. In order to overcome the initial obstacles in their adoption, design and implementation, we are looking for insight from academia and industry that describes the problems encountered or formulated theoretically and their practical solutions or systematic suggestions for their resolution respectively by industry and academia.

In this front one method has been proposed, called Service-oriented Modeling and Architecture (SOMA) that builds on object-oriented and component-based methods. Support for the unique features of SOA; namely components, services and flows are required.

This workshop aims to share the knowledge and experience of different organizations and individuals in both practical and theoretical aspects of SOA development. The main goal is to identify, discuss and promote best practices to properly engineer web-services and SOA.

The workshop is open to all researchers and industrial practitioners interested in SOA, web-services and related areas.

  • Rules for attending: must submit a paper
  • Expected Number of participants 25-30
  • Cut-off point: 15 position papers, multiple authors per paper allowed.

This workshop is a continuation of a highly successful series of workshops at OOPSLA05, OOPSLA04, OOPSLA03, which each had over 30 participants.

In this 4th International Workshop on Service-oriented Architecture and Web Services, we will explore best-practices in the adoption, design, implementation, management and monitoring or SOA and Web services related methods, tools and technologies of this rapidly maturing discipline.

We will bring industry and academia together to publish a compendium of best-practices.
