* August 31st, Toronto, Canada, 2010 *<br>* <a href="http://www.uc.rnu.tn/aws2010.html">http://www.uc.rnu.tn/aws2010.html</a> *<br>
* within WI/IAT’2010 conference *<br><br><br>AIMS AND SCOPE <br>++++++++++++++<br>Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) is a computing paradigm that utilizes Web services as the basic constructs<br>
to support the development of rapid, low-cost and easy composition of distributed applications even in <br>heterogeneous environments. With the advent of SOC, computing environments have become open, and <br>components are no longer under a single organization’s control. Consequently, Web services based applications<br>
are becoming difficult to adapt. Moreover, with the rapid growth of communication and information technologies, <br>adaptation has gained a significant attention as it becomes a key feature of Web services allowing them to <br>
operate and evolve in highly dynamic environments. Adaptation mechanisms refer to different instantiations <br>including configuration, healing, optimization, and protection. The primary objective of this workshop is <br>
to investigate ideas that may contribute to the adaptation of Web services. Theoretical as well as practical<br> aspects are welcome. The workshop organizers welcome participation and contributions from those working or <br>
interested in the intersection of technologies such as agent technology and autonomic computing with SOC.<br> <br>TOPICS OF INTEREST <br>++++++++++++++++++<br>The topics of interest for AWS’2010 include, but are not limited to:<br>
* Adaptation solutions to Web services<br>* Applications of adaptive Web services<br>* Optimization of Web services<br>* Configuration of Web services<br>* Healing of Web services<br>* Protection of Web Services<br>* Self-* Web services<br>
* Agents vs. Web services<br>* Agents for Web services <br>* Design and management of self-* Web services.</font><br><br>SUBMISSION PROCEDURE and FORMATTING GUIDELINES<br>++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++<br>
Authors should submit their contributions electronically in PDF format by using the WI-IAT CyberChair system <br><a href="http://wi-consortium.org/cyberchair/wiiat10/scripts/ws_submit.php">http://wi-consortium.org/cyberchair/wiiat10/scripts/ws_submit.php</a> by the deadline given below. Papers should<br>
be written in English with a maximum of 15 pages. All submitted papers will be reviewed on the basis of technical<br>quality, relevance, significance, and clarity. Accepted papers will be included in the Workshop Proceedings <br>
published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and will be available at the workshop. Depending on the quality of <br>contributions, we are planning to publish a post-proceedings of the papers either as a book or a special issue of <br>
an international journal.<br><br>WORKSHOP CHAIRS<br>+++++++++++++++<br>Dr. Walid Chainbi<br>Sousse National School of Engineers/ LI3, Sousse University, Tunisia<br>E-mail: <a href="mailto:Walid.Chainbi@gmail.com">Walid.Chainbi@gmail.com</a><br>
