CALL FOR PAPERS
*****************************************************************


AWESOME'007 wants to stimulate discussion among researchers work-
ing on Agents, Web Services, and Ontologies, in order to help the
identification and the definition of Methodologies for  integrat-
ing them. The realisation of distributed, open, dynamic, and het-
erogeneous software systems is, in fact,  a  challenge  that  in-
volves  many facets, from formal theories to software engineering
and practical applications. Scientists in various research areas,
such  as  Semantic Web, Web Services, Agents, Ontologies, are at-
tacking this problem from different perspectives. AWESOME'007 at-
tempts to provide a discussion forum for collecting and comparing
such diverse experiences with the aim of fostering cross  fertil-
ization.  Topics  of  interest are all those concerned with inte-
grated and/or cross-field approaches to for  engineering  Agents,
Web Services, Ontologies. They include, but are not limited to:

* Semantic Web Agents and Semantic Web Services
* Integrated  Methodologies, Notations, Infrastructures for Agen-
  ts, WSs, Ontologies
* Enhancement of communication among Agents/WSs by means of Onto-
  logies
* Formal aspects for Agents, WSs and Ontologies
* Service-Oriented Multiagent systems
* Implementing agents with WS technologies
* Agent-inspired Declarative Approaches to WSs or SOA
* Exploiting AOSE for engineering WSs and Ontologies
* Orchestrations,  choreographies,  and Interaction Protocols:
  languages, theory and practice
* Formal Description of contracts and negotiation policies
* Tools for Semantic Web Services/Agents
* Applications of Semantic Web Services/Agents
