The architectural foundation for <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>SOC is provided by the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), which <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>states that applications expose their functionality as services in a <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>uniform and technology-independent way such that they can be <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>discovered and invoked over the network. Claimed benefits of SOC <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>include cheaper and faster development of business applications <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>through repeated aggregation of services, better reuse of software <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>artifacts and legacy applications through service wrappings, and <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>easier adaptation to changes in the business environment through <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>replacement and reconfiguration of services. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>In order to realize these benefits routinely with SOC, for realistic <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>business settings with complex IT environments, many challenges still <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>need to be addressed. For example, supporting business processes and <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>collaborations in an open service-oriented world requires a better <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>understanding of integration problems along different dimensions. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>First of all, alignment between business demands and application <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>functions has to be achieved. This requirement for vertical <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>integration should drive the aggregation of services, from basic IT <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>services to rich business services, to achieve the desired or given <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>business processes. Secondly, horizontal integration has to be <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>considered if business collaborations span multiple organizations. In <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>such cases, interoperability between the services has to be ensured at <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>different levels (syntactic, semantic and<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>pragmatic) and on different aspects (information and behavior). <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thirdly, we have to assume that business demands as well as IT <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>capabilities will change over time. This evolution will impact <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>existing solutions, and thus require the adaptation, management and <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>maintenance (e.g., versioning, replacing, updating) of services and <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>service compositions.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Moreover, changes that occur at one level or on one aspect have to be <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>propagated to other levels and aspects in order to keep the <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>consistency of the integration solution. And finally, all of the above <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>challenges not only exist at design-time, but at run-time as well. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Service composition may be on-demand, driven by an end-user service <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>creation activity, and running instances of composite services are <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>subject to changes concerning, for instance, the availability of <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>resources. This implies that service level agreements and associated <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>quality-of-service need to be negotiated, monitored, and controlled in <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>multi-party and heterogeneous environments. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The goal of the workshop is to focus on the fundamental and practical <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>challenges related to SOC, to discuss what theoretical, architectural <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>or technology foundation is needed, and how this foundation can be <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>supported or realized by new or enhanced infrastructures, standards <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>and/or technologies.
