AIMS AND SCOPE
++++++++++++++
Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) is a computing paradigm that utilizes
Web services as the basic constructs to support the development of
rapid, low-cost and easy composition of distributed applications even
in heterogeneous environments. With the advent of SOC, computing
environments have become open, and components are no longer under a
single organization’s control. Consequently, Web services based
applications are becoming difficult to adapt. Moreover, with the rapid
growth of communication and information technologies, adaptation has
gained a significant attention as it becomes a key feature of Web
services allowing them to operate and evolve in highly dynamic
environments. Adaptation mechanisms refer to different instantiations
including configuration, healing, optimization, and protection. The
primary objective of this workshop is to investigate ideas that may
contribute to the adaptation of Web services. Theoretical as well as
practical aspects are welcome. The workshop organizers welcome
participation and contributions from those working or  interested in
the intersection of technologies such as agent technology and
autonomic computing with SOC.

TOPICS OF INTEREST
++++++++++++++++++
The topics of interest for AWS’2010 include, but are not limited to:
* Adaptation solutions to Web services
* Applications of adaptive Web services
* Optimization of Web services
* Configuration of Web services
* Healing of Web services
* Protection of Web Services
* Self-* Web services
* Agents vs. Web services
* Agents for Web services
* Design and management of self-* Web  services.</font>

SUBMISSION PROCEDURE and FORMATTING GUIDELINES
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Authors should submit their contributions electronically in PDF format
by using the WI-IAT CyberChair system
http://wi-consortium.org/cyberchair/wiiat10/scripts/ws_submit.php by
the deadline given below. Papers should
be written in English with a maximum of 15 pages. All submitted papers
will be reviewed on the basis of technical
quality, relevance, significance, and clarity. Accepted papers will be
included in the Workshop Proceedings
published by the IEEE Computer Society Press and will be available at
the workshop. Depending on the quality of
contributions, we are planning to publish a post-proceedings of the
papers either as a book or a special issue of
an  international journal.
