    Groups

    All submissions will form the architecture for the discussion, which will focus on providing concrete, experience-based yet theoretically valid answers to a subset of the questions raised in the workshop topic list.

    The day will be spent in break-out groups, each group focusing the selected short list of questions to be answered.

    The following groups are composed and based on the following papers:

    Group 1: Semantics and Ontologies
    • An Approach of Web Service Discovery based on Domain Ontology and
      Semantic Expansion
    • Web Service Composition Framework - SPOC
    • Towards Dynamic, Relevance-Driven Exception Resolution in Composite Web Services
    • Policy-Driven Adaptive Web Service Composition
    • A UML/OCL based Approach to Semantic Web Service Descriptions
    Group 2: WebServices and QoS
    • Patterns for web services security
    • Automated Robustness Testing of Web Services
    • The Market for Components and Web Services: Assessment and Comparative Analysis
    • Applying Web Services as Part of a SOA in a Global Organization
    Group 3: SOA methodology
    • HER SOA - History, Environment and Rating information enabled SOA
    • Model-based SOA generation for cancer clinical trials
    • Real-life SOA experiences and an approach towards Semantic SOA
    • Architecture Driven Verification and Validation Methodology for SOA based solutions
    • The Role of Architectural Decisions in Model-Driven SOA Construction

    Target objectives

    • Discuss best practices and suggest solutions to the challenges above.
    • Suggest and recommend further work within the topics discussed.
