Special Issue on "XML Data Services: Technology Evolution and Challenges"
----------
http://redmaple.hrl.uoit.ca/~jdmseiw2007
The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is used to represent
fine-grained data that originates in repositories in machine readable
format by providing structure and the possibility of adding type
information, such as XML Schema. A Web service is a software system
that supports interoperable application-to-application interaction
over the Internet. Web services are based on a set of XML standards,
such as Web Services Description Language (WSDL), Simple Object
Access Protocol (SOAP), and Universal Description, Discovery and
Integration (UDDI). Each service makes its functionality available
through well-defined or standardized XML interfaces. The result of
this approach is a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). XML is
playing an important role in the data transport protocol for Web
services. For example, SOAP messages are used both by service
requestors to invoke Web services, and by Web services to answer
requests. The interactions of SOAP messages between Web services form
the theoretical model of SOAP Message Exchange Patterns (MEP). This
workshop aims to explore and investigate various research issues of
XML data that is encapsulated by Web services over the network. In
particular, we call these networked services as XML data services.
New challenges arise in the study of services engineering, an
emerging research area devoted to the software engineering of
service-oriented applications. Services engineering is an important
area of the Services Computing Discipline, as promoted by the IEEE
Computer Society, ACM, academia and industry. Its goal is to
formulate effective solutions to the quality development, deployment
and management of these applications. Topics of interest include, but
are NOT limited to:
* Services engineering in XML data services * Models and languages of
XML data services * Design and implementation of XML data services *
Interoperability and integration of XML data services * Requirements
engineering for XML data services * Generation of XML data from Web
services * Data modeling concepts for XML data in Web services *
Ontology and semantic Web services * Security, privacy and trust with
XML data services * Transaction management in XML data services *
BPEL and Web service orchestration with XML data * XML-related
languages like XML Schema, XPath, XQuery for Web services *
Convergence of Web services and XML database technology (queries,
views, updates, integration, etc.) * XML-based middleware for Web
services * SOAP Message Exchange Patterns * UDDI, WSDL and SOAP
enhancements * Case studies for XML data services * Quality of XML
data services and deployment issues * Dependability of XML data
services * Technical architecture and framework of XML data services
* Design tools and methodologies for XML data services * Usage and
usefulness analysis of XML data services
The goal of this proposed special issue is to crystallize the
emerging XML data technologies and trends into positive efforts to
focus on the most promising solutions in e-business services
computing. The papers will provide clear proof that XML data
technologies are playing an ever increasing important and critical
role in supporting business service processes. It is also expected
that the papers will further research new best practices and
directions in XML data services.
