First Call for Papers and Special Sessions

The 4th International Symposium on Web Services (WSS'2011)
Hammamet, Tunisia
April 20-21, 2011
www.miracl.rnu.tn/wss11

Web services are emerging as a major technology for deploying automated
interactions between distributed and heterogeneous applications. Various
standards support this deployment including WSDL, UDDI, and SOAP. These
standards respectively support the definition of Web services, their
advertisement to potential users, and finally their binding for
invocation purposes. In general, composing Web services rather than
accessing a single Web service is essential and provides better benefits
to users.

After the previous three editions of the Web Services Symposium (WSS) at
Zayed University, Dubai, U.A.E www.zu.ac.ae/wss/), the 2011 edition will
be organized in Hammamet, Tunisia on April 20th and 21st by the
Multimedia, and InfoRmation systems and Advanced Computing Laboratory
(Mir at cl), Sfax University, Tunisia. WSS'2011 aims to offer a forum for
scientists, engineers, and practitioners to present their latest
research, results, ideas, developments, and applications of Web
services. It will feature keynote presentations, paper presentations,
special sessions and demonstrations. 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Standards for Web services
* Semantic Web services 
* Context-aware Web services 
* Composition approaches for Web services
