primary objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners from industry who tackle semantic service discovery from
various points of view. This year's workshop will especially focus on
building bridges to the software engineering and model-driven
development communities in order to share requirements, technologies,
and experiences that might be helpful in advancing the state of the art
in semantic service matchmaking and resource retrieval.<br>

to Practice: The Third Semantic Service Selection (S3) Contest</span></i></b></p>
In addition, this year's workshop integrates the third edition of the
open international contest on semantic service selection (S3). The S3
contest focuses on the comparative evaluation of classic retrieval
performance of ready to use Semantic Web service matchmakers over given
test collections for semantic service formats such as OWL-S, WSML, and
the standard SA-WSDL.
