CALL FOR PAPERS
===========================================================================
1st Workshop on Enterprise Service Web (ESW 2010)
in conjunction with
13th International Conference on Business Information Systems (BIS 2010)
Berlin, Germany
May 3-5, 2010
/bis2010/wscfp.php?ws=esw2010
===========================================================================
Deadline for submissions: (Extended Deadline!) March 28, 2010
===========================================================================
This workshop aims at bringing together researchers and
practitioners to share their experiences and their vision on the
challenges that have to be faced to adopt services in industry, with the
aim to establish a community around Enterprise Service Web technologies
that will drive research in this area and its still open challenges. We
intend to feed the workshop results into a report that will be presented
to the Future Internet activity on Services and Architectures
(http://services.future-internet.eu).
In the last years, a thriving research community has grown up in the
area of the Internet of Services. We envision a future Web in which
billions of services will be seamlessly found, composed and executed just
as, in today's Web, we can find and browse billions of documents, and
that this services infrastructure will be enabled by the use of semantic
technologies. A fulfilment of this vision, which we call the Service
Web, would lead also to a major disruption in business information
systems. This vision will affect how enterprises store their data and
access computing resources in an even greater manner than cloud storage
and computing are already affecting it. This would lead potentially to
business information systems using the Web to discover, chain, and
execute processes on their data in a flexible, dynamic manner and even
replace in-house or cloud-based information systems entirely. Performing
business tasks could become a largely Web-based endeavour just as
knowledge tasks are increasingly becoming today. To achieve such vision,
it is clear that the Service Web must not only reflect the actual and
ongoing research challenges but also adequately take into account
critical business aspects such as privacy, trust, data quality, service
policies, and cost of transition from current infrastructures.

Papers approved for presentation at ESW 2010 will be published in the
