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.
