Service-Oriented Computing: Agents, Semantics, and Engineering AAMAS 2007 International Workshop, SOCASE 2007, Honolulu, HI, USA, May 14, 2007, Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the International Workshop on Service-Oriented Computing: Agents, Semantics, and Engineering, SOCASE 2007, held in Honolulu, HI, USA as an associated event of AAMAS 2007, the main international conference on autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. The volume is rounded off with selected four best papers from the Service-Oriented Computing and Agent-based Engineering Workshop, SOCABE 2006, held at AAMAS 2006.
The 12 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers cover a range of topics at the intersection of service-oriented computing, semantic technology and intelligent multiagent systems, such as: service description and discovery; planning, composition and negotiation; semantic processes and service agents; as well as applications.
