Workshop Innsbruck
From SWS Challenge Wiki
KWEB SWS Challenge workshop: This workshop has been fully sponsored by Knowledge Web NoE
Fourth Phase, 6-7 June, 2007
Co-located with 4th European Semantic Web Conference ESWC 2007
Innsbruck Congress Center (New Orleans Hall), Innsbruck, Austria.
http://sws-challenge.org/wiki/index.php/Workshop_Innsbruck
Submission Deadline: 5th May 2007
The goal of the SWS Challenge is to develop a common understanding of various technologies intended to facilitate the automation of mediation, choreography and discovery for Web Services using semantic annotations. In particular, we establish a set of standard problems related to the use of Semantic Web Service technologies. Part of each problem description will also be a set of Web Service Interface Definitions (in WSDL). A reference implementation of the infrastructure can verify a problem solution by analysis of web service message exchanges. Additionally a peer review-based methodology for determining the software engineering value of the technologies used to solve the problems has been established.
This Challenge workshop seeks participation from industry and academic researchers developing software components and/or intelligent agents that have the ability to automate mediation, choreography and discovery processes between Web Services. Our approach is to test technologies on a set of common problems and certify their functionality by a peer-review process. This process was started at the first phase of the workshop at Stanford University in March 2006 followed by its refinements in second phase at Budva, Montenegro in June 2006 and third phase at Athens, GA, USA in November 2006.
The SWS Challenge is not a performance contest or a competition between available solutions, but rather a functional certification process. You are invited to test your technologies on some or all of these problems and be evaluated at the workshop. Afterwards, you have permission to use our SWS Challenge logo on your site and point to your evaluation results.
To participate in the SWS Challenge, sign up at the wiki, and start working on the problems. You must demonstrate completion of least one problem in order to qualify for the workshop. Then, please send a two-page description of your technology to Michal Zaremba<michal.zaremba@deri.org> by the deadline. At the workshop, you will present a full paper with your claims. Your paper and your code will be evaluated by a group of workshop participants.
