JOINT CALL FOR PAPERS
BSN'06 - SoS4CO'06
2nd International Workshop on Business Service Networks
2nd International Workshop on Service oriented Solutions for
Cooperative Organizations
June 26, 2006, San Francisco, California, USA
http://elab.njit.edu/bsnsos4co
in conjunction with
IEEE Joint Conference on E-Commerce Technology (CEC-06) and on
Enterprise Computing, E-Commerce and E-Services (EEE-06)

*********************************************************************
Business Services Networks (BSN's) are business networks, that is, a
group of cooperative organizations either within an enterprise or
between different enterprises, which are based on services. In that
context, a service represents a set of encapsulated IT components
implementing specific business functions. The service interface is
self-describing in order to publish, discover and dynamically bind
services using an underlying Service Oriented Architecture (SOA),
most often implemented using Web Services standards. However, this
flexibility with regard to loose-coupling and the interoperability
between cooperative organizations is being applied in current
projects, especially in industrial projects.
This workshop concentrates on all facets of BSN's and the
architecture of service-oriented solutions supporting inter-
enterprise collaboration, throughout the entire collaboration life-
cycle. This includes the consideration of business strategies for
the establishment of a BSN with cooperative organizations from
different SOA environments and maturity, as well as the design of
such cooperation and collaboration starting with the requirements
until the final instantiation of the collaboration by discovering,
composing, deploying, and invoking services. Based on the composed
BSN, the cooperation and collaboration brings new research from the
perspectives of business (e.g. provisioning) and technical (e.g.
transactions), e.g. monitoring and auditing in a network of
organizations.
We invite papers addressing business and technical issues of BSN's
from various perspectives, including development strategies of new
BSNs, design of BSNs, as well as management and execution. We
encourage contributions from both academia and industry. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
BSN Strategy
* Business models
* Integration alliances and interoperability
* Value added for BSN vendors and adopters
* Mobile operators, grid services, and utility computing
BSN Design
* Service-Oriented solutions
* Requirements engineering for BSN
* Ontologies, document structures, messaging formats, etc.
* Match-making of choreographies of different organizations
* Match-making of semantic service descriptions
* Negotiating of inter-organizational business processes
* Service discovery on advanced registry concepts beyond UDDI
* Quality of Service (QoS) and Cost of Service (CoS) negotiation
* Role of Model-Driven Architectures (MDA) for BSN
BSN Management & Execution
* SOA-Enablement of software vendors
* Service Level Agreements (SLA)
* International provisioning and adoption barriers
* Pricing and marketing on BSN demand software
* Monitoring and enforcement of Quality of Service (QoS)
* Distributed stateless and stateful transactions
* Role of security, privacy and trust in BSN
* Auditing of service evolution
