CALL FOR PAPERS

Workshop on Service Oriented Architecture, 
in Nagoya, Japan, December 4, 2007, 
collocated with 14th Asia-Pacific Software Engineering Conference (APSEC’
07)

Motivation
This workshop will focus on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). 
Service oriented architecture is a paradigm for organizing and 
utilizing distributed capabilities that may be under the control of 
different ownership domains. It provides a uniform means to offer, 
discover, interact with and use capabilities to produce desired 
effects consistent with measurable preconditions and expectations. 
By following service oriented architecture, a computer system or 
software is componentized as a service. One of the most important 
points of service oriented architecture is interoperability; the 
services should be accessed from other services easily. Service 
oriented architecture is still an emerging approach. There have not 
been so many concrete implementations yet. More researches and 
practices are required in this area.

Topic Areas
The topics of this workshop include, but are not limited to the following 
topics.
- Practical use cases, case studies, and best practices for service 
oriented architecture
- Specification and standards for service oriented architecture
- Composition, Aggregation and Orchestration of services in service 
oriented architecture
- Quality of Services (Security, Performance, Reliability, etc.) and 
Service Level Agreement (SLA) in service oriented architecture
- Semantics and Ontology of services in service oriented architecture
- Evaluation and Testing methodology for service oriented architecture
- Middleware for service oriented architecture
- Technologies for service oriented architecture such as SOAP, REST,and 
CORBA
- Model Driven Architecture (MDA) in service oriented architecture
- Business Process Management (BPM) in service oriented architecture
- Description, Discovery, and Integration of services in service oriented 
architecture
- Service mediation and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) in service oriented 
architecture
- Software as a Service (SaaS) in service oriented architecture

Paper Submissions
The workshop welcomes submissions of regular (research or 
industrial) papers and short papers. All papers must be prepared in
