Seminar: Advanced Topics in Services Computing

Hauptseminar an der Universitaet des Saarlandes, FR 6.2 Informatik, LVst 94717

The following list of topics for the seminar is structured into the categories of discovery and composition of web services and semantic web services. Selected surveys of relevant fields are indicated and expected to be read by registered participants, as appropriate, before the presentations on the special topics in the respective category start.

The background literature and all papers listed below for the topics are available at the CS library of the Saarland University (http://www.infomath-bib.de/en/welcome.shtml).

Please note that the number of available topics does not necessarily correspond with the number of available slots for presentations as indicated in the seminar schedule.

Topics which have been CURRENTLY ASSIGNED to participants for presentation at the seminar are MARKED IN RED.
