and in conjunction with The 22nd European
Conference on Modeling and Simulation

CALL
FOR PAPERS
Special
Session on Web Services and the Semantic Grid
(WSSG’2008)
Extended Submission Deadline:
Purpose and Topics
The web has become a
colossal repository for information and services, thus representing the ideal
platform for form computational grids that support resource sharing and
coordinated problem solving across heterogeneous and geographically dispersed
systems. In order to realize this grand
vision, the computation resources, information, and services available on the
web has to be described, i.e., semantically annotated in a
machine-understandable format that allows the automated discovery and
composition of these components.
This session aims to
facilitate the discussion and presentation of research findings concerning the utilisation of semantic technologies to power web and grid
services. We encourage original
contributions from the core semantic/grid technologies research and
corresponding applications:
Semantic
Web/Grid Technologies (not restricted to the below)
·
Standards and formalism of web/grid services
·
Ontology-based annotation of web/grid services and information
·
Semantic services brokering: discovery, matchmaking, and composition
·
Semantic web reasoning agents and theory
·
Grid resource management: scalability, load-balancing, and reliability
·
Security management for web/grid services
·
QoS Measurement and control for web/grid services
·
Interoperation challenges for web/grid applications
·
Knowledge management technologies for Grid services
·
Semantic grid and pervasive computing
Semantic
Web/Grid Applications (not restricted to the below)
·
Scientific and large scale computing
·
Information indexing and retrieval
·
Distributed data mining
·
Collaborative decision making frameworks
(Blackboard systems)
·
Content and caption based image annotation and retrieval
·
Self-enriching WWW encyclopedias
·
Financial and brokering services
·
Travel and tourism applications
Paper Submission:
You are invited to
submit original and unpublished research works on above and other topics
related to web services and semantic grid.
Please submit a PDF copy of your full manuscript, not to exceed 7
double-column IEEE formatted pages, and include up to 6 keywords and an
abstract of no more than 350 words. Each
paper will receive a minimum of three reviews.
At least one of the authors of each accepted paper will have to register
and attend the HPCS’08 conference for presenting the paper at the session. Accepted papers will be published by ECMS in
the conference proceedings.
Papers should be
submitted as attachments to: taha.osman@ntu.ac.uk. If accepted, final papers will follow the
format that ECMS follows which will be posted on the web site. Full submission
guidelines can be found at: http://cisedu.us/cis/hpcs/08/index.html.
If you have any
questions about paper submission or the session, please contact the
organizer.
