CALL FOR PAPERS
===============

WEWST 2012 - 7th Workshop on Enhanced Web Service Technologies
September 19, 2012, Bertinoro, Italy
http://sosoa.inf.usi.ch/wewst12/

Accepted papers will be published in the ACM digital library.


The Workshop on Enhanced Web Service Technologies (WEWST), collocated with
the European Conference on Service-Oriented and Cloud Computing (ESOCC),
is the premier workshop for academic and industrial communities to discuss
innovative ideas and research contributions advancing the state-of-the-art
in Web service technologies.

Although the advantages of Web services to allow businesses to
interact with each other while maintaining a loose coupling are well
known, there are still many challenges to be solved in this important
field of research. The wide variety of tools, techniques, and
technological solutions presented in WEWST share one common feature:
they suggest new directions for Web service research by introducing
novel and sometime controversial ideas into the field. The workshop
allows participants to gain new insights and to start collaborations
by discussing how their own work can be used in related but different
areas.
