Dynamic Service Composition – Semantics, Methods and Tools
Special Track in SEKE 2008
The Twentieth International Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering (SEKE'08)
Hotel Sofitel.

SCOPE
Service-based computing and service-oriented architecture (SOA) claim to ease the implementation of large-scale business processes in today’s enterprises. Business processes, however, often run in transient environments due to evolving company structures and short-lived business collaborations. In such a setting, flexibility, adaptability and ease of change matter much more as in traditional enterprises. Dynamic or on-the-fly composition of services is an important means to meet such demands in a SOA context. Although there is ongoing research in this area, lots of important questions, like e.g., how to engineer dynamics for services without losing reliability, which aspects of services beyond WSDL are needed to permit successful compositions and so on, are still open research issues.
This special track is organized in SEKE08 to bring together researchers working on all aspects of dynamic service compositions in a SOA context. Topics of specific interest for this track are:
