<h3><span xml:lang="EN-US" lang="EN-US">Description</span><span
xml:lang="EN-US" lang="EN-US"> </span></h3>
<p>The
purpose of this workshop is to present and discuss the recent
significant developments at the intersections of Multi-agent Systems,
Semantic Technologies, and Service-oriented Computing, and to promote
the cross-fertilization between these research areas. In particular,
the workshop aims at identifying techniques from Multi-agent System and
Semantic Technology research that will have the greatest impact on
automating service-oriented application construction and management,
focusing on critical challenges such as service quality assurance,
reliability, flexibility, and adaptability.</p>
<p><span xml:lang="EN-US" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<h2><span xml:lang="EN-US" lang="EN-US">List of Topics:</span> </h2>
<p align="left">We
invite papers on all aspects relating to the overlap of Agent
Technology, Semantic Web services, and Service-oriented Computing.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:<br>
*
Agent-oriented architectures, frameworks, and infrastructures for
distributed service-oriented software and Semantic Web systems<br>
* Agent-oriented modeling and design methods and tools for
service-oriented software and Semantic Web development<br>
* Web services and Semantic Web technologies and standards for
multi-agent system design, development and integration<br>
* Agent-enabled adaptation, evolution, and optimization of services and
processes<br>
* Agent-based service description, advertisement, matchmaking,
discovery, and brokering<br>
* Agent-based service composition, orchestration, and choreography<br>
* Agent-based monitoring and exception-handling for service execution
and delivery<br>
* Agent-based negotiation and management of Quality of Service and
Service Level Agreements<br>
* Deployment and distribution of agent-based service systems and
service-oriented agent systems<br>
* Agent-based service business models, application scenarios and demos
(e.g. in e-Business, e-Science, Enterprise, Telecom, etc.), and lessons
learned <br>
* Ontology matching for service discovery, negotiation, orchestration,
composition, and execution <br>
* Ontology generation, learning and reasoning, and ontology-oriented
dynamic mediation among agents<br>
* Use of agent-based technology in service-oriented computing
(applications) </p>

<h3><span xml:lang="EN-US" lang="EN-US">Paper Submission</span>, Review
Process, and Publication</h3>
<p align="left">All
submitted manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by at least 3 program
committee members. Please note that the same paper should NOT be
submitted to other conferences or events simultaneously. Such duplicate
submissions will be rejected without review. </p>
<p align="left">Submitted
manuscripts will be limited to 8 (IEEE Proceedings style) pages and
required to be formatted using the IEEE Proceedings Formatting
Information page. Electronic submission of manuscripts (in PDF or Word
format) is required. Detailed instructions for electronic paper
preparation and submission, panel proposals, tutorial proposals, and
review process can be found at <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.servicescongress.org">www.servicescongress.org</a>. At least one
author of each accepted paper is required to register to the workshop
and present the paper. </p>
Only the accepted and presented papers will appear in the CD
proceedings of the workshop. It is intended to publish after workshop
proceedings with Springer LNCS. Extended versions of selected best
papers will be invited for potential publication in the IOS Press
International Journal of Multiagent and Grid Systems (MAGS).
