Web services are a major technology for deploying loosely-coupled,

services rather than accessing a single Web service provides better
benefits to users. The previous  edition of the symposium
(http://www.zu.ac.ae/wss) attracted a good number of participants from
both communities academia and industry. The 2010 edition will feature
this time keynote presentations, paper presentations, PhD sessions, and
special sessions on other topics related to Web services such as open
source. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Semantic Web services
Context-aware Web services
Composition approaches for Web services
Security of Web services
Software agents for Web services composition
Applications of Web services to E-business
Ontologies and Languages for Service Description
