Third International Workshop on

Service Matchmaking and Resource Retrieval in the Semantic Web

=20

http://www-ags.dfki.uni-sb.de/~klusch/smr2-09/

=20

  8th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2009)

October 25, 2009=20

Washington DC, USA

=20

Aims & Scope:

=20

One central challenge of service coordination in the Semantic Web is how =
to best relate requests for services with the services that are =
available.  This functionality is usually provided by matchmaking =
capabilities (which may themselves be deployed as services, brokers or =
middle agents) that select the services that are closest to a requested =
service on the basis of a declarative characterization of the =
capabilities of both service requested and services provided.

=20

More generally, resource retrieval extends the notion of service =
matchmaking to the process of discovering any kind of resource =
(services, data, information, knowledge, even persons and organizations) =
for given settings, participating entities, and purposes. It is at the =
core of several scenarios in the Semantic Web area, spanning from Web =
services, Grid computing, and Peer-to-Peer computing, to applications =
such as e-commerce, human resource management, and social networking =
applications such as dating services.

=20

The primary objective of this workshop is to bring together academic and =
industry researchers and industry practitioners who tackle semantic =
service matchmaking and discovery from various points of view. In =
particular, we intend to build 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.

=20

Going to Practice: The Third Semantic Service Selection (S3) Contest

=20

The SMR2 workshop also integrates the third edition of the open =
international contest on semantic service selection (S3) =
<http://www.dfki.de/~klusch/s3>  executed in collaboration with the =
Semantic Web Service Challenge.  The S3 contest  provides the means and =
a forum for evaluating the retrieval performance of Semantic Web service =
matchmakers in terms of recall, precision, F1, response time etc., over =
given test collections based on the prominent semantic service formats =
such as OWL-S, WSML and the standard SA-WSDL.=20

=20

Publication:

=20

Accepted papers will be available online as a volume of CEUR =
proceedings. In addition, selected papers will be published in a special =
issue of the International Journal on Software Tools for Technology =
Transfer (STTT, Springer Verlag).

=20

=20

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

=20

* Advanced searching of services and other resources in the Semantic Web

* Novel approaches to matchmaking and brokering in the Semantic Web, =
with a particular emphasis on Semantic Web services

* Model-driven semantic service engineering and matchmaking

* Semantic retrieval of resources and services in P2P and Grid networks

* Matchmaking in e-commerce scenarios: auctions, e-marketplaces, supply =
chains

* Matchmaking in other application scenarios: e-government, biopharma, =
etc.

* Composition planning of Semantic Web services

* Negotiation of Semantic Web services and resources

* Interleaving of discovery, composition, and negotiation of Semantic =
Web services

* Semantic Web services selection

* Formal description and handling of Semantic Web services, queries, and =
resources

* Non-functional service properties and their use for discovery (and =
composition)

* Trust issues of Semantic Web service discovery

* Prototypes and tools for Semantic Web services engineering

* Practical business and user-oriented issues and experiences of =
implementing SW service retrieval tools

* Experimental comparative evaluation of implemented SW service =
retrieval tools

=20

Contributions to the workshop can be made as technical papers addressing =
different issues of service and resource matching. The papers should not =
be longer than 12 pages using the LNCS Style:
